HoylandOwl Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 That’s Adam Reach…. But it’s our good friend CP saying it, based on his Wednesday appearances. He’s clearly commenting as an ex West Brom player. Likes to get himself about does our Carlton at the moment. He was on Talksport again yesterday I think too.

Skamp Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I've never understood the fascination with the fee we paid for Reach. He owes Wednesday nothing btw. Put some real shifts in and single handedly kept us up one season. He then caught the eye of the boo boys and that was that.

HoylandOwl Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 TBH Skamp, I'd no major beef with Reach. When he first came I thought he was decent, not a world beater but relatively reliable and one player I'd rather US have than others.

Was available for 95% of all matches played whilst at the club for 4 years! Whilst all those around him were injured .. very reliable! Sadly got played when he really did need a break to rediscover form! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Doesn't matter how many games people are available for... If they aren't going to give 100% in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl71 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It was difficult not to draw attention to the transfer fee in his first season. For much of it he looked just about the worst player in a side most of whom we picked up as free agents or for small fees. He DID eventually prove his worth a year or two later when we had about 13 players out injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelters Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Unfortunately his worst form was in his final season and a bit and that’s most fresh in the memory. At his best he was a good player but could never get over the fact he played as if he didn’t want to get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 The fact he struggled to get into a struggling WBA side speaks volumes. A player with talent that lacks a level of application to make the most of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 £5m for him and £10m for Rhodes and still pubehead wanted to fuck us over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the biggest disappointment was that, after his excellent 12 months of leading the team by example whilst 12 or 13 main actors were out injured, as soon as the usual big characters came back to fitness he went into his shell again. It was definitely lack of strength of personality amongst the others that spoiled him IMO, not anything physical or skills being lacked. Edited June 18, 2022 by Owling_Wolf Typos.
