A E Neuman NYowl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 West Brom have a lot of big physical players at the back, wonder if the manager looked at Reach and thought tall, athletic, pacy and played in defence. Could he do a job against smaller pacy players like Arsenal have if required. Be interesting to see what role if any he nails down at WBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Adam Reach – WhoScored rating 5.48 Whereas youth and inexperience excuse both Shotton and De Castro, Adam Reach cannot claim either of those as his defence. The former Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday man played out of position as a left-sided defender. He didn’t have much of an effect on the game for the Baggies. Reach saw a decent amount of possession (46 touches/3.6%) but failed to make an impact, completing 17 of his 27 passes (63% accuracy). He did make one shot but it was woefully off target. A disappointing performance for the 28-year-old. It will be one he’ll want to put right when West Brom get back to league action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see the game but from the line up and highlights it seemed he was playing as a left sided wing back rather than defender as they’ve stated. But I could be wrong. If I’m not, they better get used to Reach putting in 5.48 performances on that left side more often 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan48 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 He was signed for his ability to point , not to tackle , as was very evident last night ,so they've picked up an absolute bargain ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otley Owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Reach is a decent Championship player. He'll get on fine. Would have thought he will mostly be used as a squad player, unless he really rediscovers his form and something clicks. Sure West Brom will be happy, it's not like they have forked out a large fee for him. Coming across a touch bitter and silly on this thread imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranksanOwl Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 As I started this thread I will give my opinion. Since we signed him Reach has been one of our better players, there were more far worse than him. He worked hard, had some good games and scored goals, some spectacular. However his form deteriorated, the same as the team. Maybe because of the large outlay and wages we expected more. It was right that he moved on and we parted company. It’s a shame we didn’t get a fee for him but he has freed up wages and I think our current squad is stronger with the changes made. Reach is not a poor player he has some qualities but he is not without weaknesses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me why managers choose to play Reach as either a left back or a wing back. He can't tackle to save his life. A left sided midfielder who should play with a defender behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Reach was when we needed for players to stand up and be counted Reach went the other way , decent technical footballer but a heart of a pea .
