billyblack Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Bought as a LW and that where he should play. Never been a forward or CM. Maybe LB on the odd day. We do it all the time though, buy players then dont play them where they should play. Thats down to no planning, just panic management. Pathetic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have no problems finding another club from mid table up to ones expected to be in the playoffs and he will play on the left for 95% of his time there. I think he’ll thrive playing for a normal team that doesn’t have Bannan in the middle of park and taking all set plays. He’ll no doubt join a team where they have centermids who tackle, win the ball, pass out wide, make runs into the box..... He’ll contribute 15 goals/assists next year and we’ll be left with Bannan gifting freedom of the city to opposition while playing long / backward balls over and over! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’m saying he’s rubbish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsHall Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 He's a fanny...but most of the time an out of position fanny....both of which are seriously not needed now the chips are down. UTO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no I guess. He had a strange roll last night of defending the right hand side without the ball but when in possession he and Kachunga instantly come inside and both play a sort of number 10 role. I feel for Reach myself. One week he’s played LWB, week after he’s a CM, after that on the wing, then ends up as a number 10 and even on occasions this season under Monk played RWB and ST. I’m just stating that any good Adam Reach seems to produce comes from playing out wide and letting him put crosses in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Time to put this to bed with a bit of honest chat Adam Reach Left winger Most effective when putting in early crosses Doesn't / can't tackle Will never tackle and never be able to tackle Plays horrifically bad in any other position to the point where it's just filling a shirt with him if he's selected to play anywhere other than the left wing He should never ever be selected to play in any other position than left wing/midfield - if he can't play there he shouldn't be picked to play full stop Now... If you're a fan who knows the above and slags Reach off when he plays in any other position, or slags him off because he doesn't tackle then YOU are the problem not Adam Reach Also Adam Reach doesn't select himself. If he's being selected in other positions over other players by managers then that's an issue with the managers tactics/selection and not the player AND If you think Adam Reach is suddenly going to tackle hard, or you think Adam Reach might suddenly turn into some amazing central midfielder then YOU are the problem not Adam Reach 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Sadly players who are leaving at the end of the season will be doing all they can to stay injury free. Don’t expect people dying for the cause sadly. Reach has been poor. A shadow of his former self. Probably due to a number of reasons. just sums up where we are as a club really. He will go to another championship team and flourish sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is he scored a few wonder goals in a bit of a freak spell cutting in from the right. Gave people the illusion this was actually his best position. It’s not and never has been. A few wonder strikes should not have changed the fact he is best playing on the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The real problem is we've had so many short term managers who want to play different systems. They try to shoehorn players into this position or that position and it doesn't work. We need a system and then to buy players to fit it. If the manager changes bring in ones who will fit our system. Square pegs in round holes, doesn't work. We've proved it. Scattergun manager appointments, scattergun player signings will get us relegated. It probably already has.
