Sadly it was the recruitment in the transfer windows after that game where we went from having a promising team, to a squad of overpaid wasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 At the end of the day, Reach will continue to pick up a decent wedge for sitting on the WBA bench and coming on for the occasional last 15 minutes or so. As a player, I don't think he's missed at Hillsborough and quite frankly I'd rather watch Adeniran play. We do seem to have an obsession regarding former players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spion Kop Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Having to watch the games last season on Ifollow was bad enough but watching Reach trying to defend, chuffing ell, I'd do a better job and I'm 60+. No doubt he has a great left foot and he was being played in the wrong position but his contribution last season was shocking. He had no fight in him to keep us up, so why the managers kept playing him week after week especially in a defensive role where even when we did attack he has no pace to cause a threat? I didn't watch the WBA game but wonder what his stats where for his attacking play. Did he play more offensive or was he running up and down just sticking his arm out and pointing as opposition players walked passed him. Our teams better with out him, just a shame we hadn't got him under contract when WBA signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we live in an age of inflated transfer fee's, home grown quota's for Europe etc. I don't think it's too ridiculous to envisage a naturally left footed English winger, in his mid 20's with his own compilation of absolute screamers, being picked up by someone for relative peanuts (which is what £15m is to Prem clubs now). Reach does have ability and an engine. Ultimately though we also know what he doesn't have, and along with his inconsistent form for us he really should have kicked on further at this level than he has. He's a player who it wouldn't surprise me to see him do well yet, while being glad he's no longer our issue to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I’m surprised that they lost at home 6-0 with Cruncher Reach in the team, I would have thought that he would have really tightened up their defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fined in my opinion. Disgraceful! Why is it that managers can take the ******** in proper tournaments like the FA Cup and League Cup yet the Papa John’s tinpot trophy has ‘rules’ to follow? Absolutely blows my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s one replay which last about 10 seconds, where he points on 4 separate occasions. It did make me chuckle. Good riddance Reach. Yep, pointing all over the place, not one tackle, was even pointing as the ball goes in the net. Disaster he won't get many first team games with that showing.

Kopparberg Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Don’t wish to belittle Reach but there is irony in him playing at CB - after a career of not being in his natural position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
