Typical that a player who we all knew had it in him was gash for us but is putt in the performances for another team. Would like to see his stats for tackles completed and tackles won. Would hazard a guess that they not to clever. Or maybe he’s being judged on his overall contribution. As he should have been when he carried us for two seasons when all the supposed killer hard tacklers & hitmen were either out injured or banned. He never fitted the mould that the brains trust @ S6 demand so hardly any wonder he more or less eventually thought fu*k it. Good luck to him, hope he nails it at the Baggies & gets the acclaim he deserves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point we have to ask should we listen to them about Barry Bannan etc at all? No the issue with Reach is the same issue we have with many players. When he is allowed to play consistently on the left wing, he plays well and scored goals but he was played left back, right wing, central midfield, up front, full back. He is none of these players but he did a job and the team and player were worse for it. the same is said of Bannan he is not and will never be a defender midfielder, playing in the 2 in a 4-2-3-1 he weakens the team, playing as an attacking midfielder he is an asset, elsewhere he is a waste of a salary. we the fans can see this, but a success of sub standard managers cannot, I saw yesterday a former £15m striker playing on the wing, we have 5 wingers at the club and play a striker there instead. Last game Kamberi a striker again in the wing not up front where strikers play. Play a formation that fits the players we have, play the players in their correct position stop shoe horning players into roles they cannot play or do everyone a favour a vacate the job for someone who will. rant over. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point we have to ask should we listen to them about Barry Bannan etc at all? What was his reported 'income' again? remind me? when he was an SWFC player?? & what exactly did he deliver?.. if some other team/Club want to pay his wages get on with it. As far as ime concerned he was one of a number of players who received above average Championship salary's,and delivered only FAILURE Who cares where he is....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanningtonowl Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I said Reach was crap. Said after the Lincoln pre season friendly to get rid because he’s crap and not interested. I was right. West Brom fans will think same soon. Some already appear to think so. Dogger waste of space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 decent enough player who didnt justify the outlay we invested in him ........i doubt west brom would have laid out £4 million for him but on a free transfer he could well turn to be a good signing for them .
