I saw that, near the dug out? Was absolutely fuming with him from there and I’d have hauled him off there and then. Shouldn’t be in the squad from now until he’s gone, put a U23 in who will fight for the shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunny1968 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Terrible performance. Should not play for the team again. Clearly does not care and is trying to avoid injury to protect his next move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never takes responsibility on the ball and drives forward. Always goes back or stands on ball. What happened to the Reach we had under Carlos who drove forward down the flanks. A very likeable player under Carlos who is now imo a very unlikeable player and the image of SWFC - pathetic There was one just after Lees got injured, near the dug out, lost out in usual fashion and literally just turned away while the man that took the ball off him eased Norwich back on the offensive. Playing rubbish, being in poor form is one thing but that kind of attitude is a whole different matter, doesn't deserve a place in the squad.

CircleSeven Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Reach was indeed rubbish today. Found him quite frustrating to watch. The problem is it’s all well and good saying he should put his body on the line for the club etc but when your in his position contractually your one bad tackle from being out of contract, unsignable and your careers over. Even if you want to try you must have that niggling voice in the back of your head telling you to be careful. I’m not defending it and it shouldn’t be the case but hes the equivalent of working his notice at Tesco. He’s not going to be stacking the freezers full pelt! We should be playing the players in his role we are going to use next season. Penney or Green. But Green isn’t even on the subs bench! Lets just drop Reach and be done with it.

metallicowl Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Does not seem to able to run ! Which is not a good thing for a footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Even when we were out our best years ago under CC, Reach infuriated me with his neshing of everything. Scoring worldies every twenty games is alright but he does absolutely fizz all the rest of the games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooogs Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The bit today that really frustrated me was Norwich's second goal, just after Windass lost the ball. Reach was less than ten yards away and could have tried to win it back, or at least pressure Cantwell and Buendia into moving away from goal, but he literally shuffled two to three steps in the time the Norwich players ran ten. He was more interested in pointing at Windass after the goal than doing owt before it. I do rate his skills but the Adam Reach of four years ago isn't coming back, alas, and with his current attitude, he's a liability to the team.

quinnssweetshop Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Reach is one of the most cowardly football players I've ever seen. Thank God he's off at the end of the season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 If he isn't dropped for the next game something is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Reach is lucky games are behind closed doors otherwise he could become a bit of a scapegoat with the crowd. Cant believe he is giving everything to try and help us stop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 He was very poor today. Surprised if he keeps his place after that. Looks to be going through the motions and knowing he is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wanted to record how lazy he is when giving the ball away. You should have heard what those two wallopers were fawning about him on Sky Geordie ...... Something like "you never get tired of seeing the you tube montage of Reach Worldies etc etc .... Slight silence followed by " Managers would never tire of signing Reach "....... This is what we are up against I'm afraid ..... Soggy biscuit merchants ... Football's full of them .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I genuinely think/thought that if he’s played to his strengths and you take him out of the physical battles he’s a really good wide man in the Championship. Ball played infront of him with the opposition defence retreating he’s always been hugely productive. It wouldn’t surprise me if he left and kicked on again next season. But, I’ve started to wonder in the last 2 years if his hearts really in it. He plays football like it’s the last thing on earth he wants to be doing. Fair enough.

Sambo89 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Commentator blowing smoke right up his ringer n all! I'm sure some of em watch a best of YouTube video then make comments based on that. Reach had a shot in first half. "He only scores worldies!" "You'd never get tired of watching his goals video would you?" "I'd never get tired of signing him if I was a manager!" Obviously not watched anything else then! Not seen him backing out of challenges or being knocked off the ball by a light breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Watched Reach closely today. Runs about a lot but never actually even attempts to put a tackle in. He constantly passes his man on to someone else. Absolutely awful performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Play him left midfield or don’t bother at all. He’s a specialist and technical player. Can put a good cross in. And has a decent engine to get up and down. Playing him midfield is pointless. He’s not a tackler and positionally he’s not aware. It’s not his game so just pointless playing him there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
