Red Rocket 244 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Adomah is one of our best attacking outlets. I think it would be a mistake to drop him. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't think it's harsh to drop Reach at all, he offered nothing on Tuesday night, time to give another option a chance Reach did an excellent job defensively. For a wide midfield player away from home that's imperative. He kept the ball and ran at players. To say offered nothing is sensationalist and wrong. I'd start Reach and bring Wildschut off the bench as an impact sub to start. Having him and Vossen starting in the team would weaken us at present. I don't think he's wrong at all, Reach rarely offers anything going forward in any game, every time i watch him, the only thing i can think is that he is a LB playing LW, theres no way an out and out attacking player would be as poor as him at beating a man, all he does is turn around when the fullback squares him up, he does his job defensively, but for me, I've said it before, thats not good enough to warrant a starting position. When will people realise there is more to playing football than having the ball at your feet. Probably when you realise that when you're playing as an attacker, you actually have to be able to attack and not just do a decent job defensively ;) Link to post Share on other sites

I think it would be a mistake to drop him. I like your team, but I don't think bringing in Whitehead for a home game potentially like this is the right move...I think we need wide players to help drag the defence around the pitch. I wouldn't start Wildschut and I also wouldn't drop AA. AA had his best game of the season on Tuesday, it would deflate him massively. I would wait to see if we go 1-0 up and Brentford start chasing the game. There is little point in starting a lightning quick winger, when there is no room for him to run into. But that's my opinion, ill probably be proven wrong by AK now on both accounts! Link to post Share on other sites

He's playing a winger so be a winger. I think it unbalances our attacking options. It's abit like the Mowbray days of playing Taylor LM Link to post Share on other sites

Probably when you realise that when you're playing as an attacker, you actually have to be able to attack and not just do a decent job defensively ;) The problem is that in Vossen, Kike and Bamford we have strikers who want the ball played to their feet. At the moment the only person delivering crosses to them is Adomah. I do like Reach's enthusiasm and his back tracking but as our left winger he needs to do the wingers job. Most teams have us figured out on that left hand side and that's because Reach is far too predictable, usually ending up passing to someone else because he can't get passed his man and his cross delivery is poor. We're stronger defensively when he's in the side but at home, we need to be looking to attack. Link to post Share on other sites
DonnySmog 9 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We should win this one, however when we expect a win we usually come unstuck. I think AK will freshen things up a little, maybe make 2 to 4 changes. Two will be enforced Diama injured and i think i read Ayala suspended. We have a number of attacking options (which is great to be able to say this), so potentially a couple of changes in these area's. I think there some harsh comments about Reach, the lad has improved and will improve with the more game time he gets. He isn't the finished article but negativity towards him is unjust in my opinion. He has performed well and puts in a real team performance. I will go for 2-0 Boro win Kike and Vossen Link to post Share on other sites
boksicdink 1,937 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Does anyone else think he may start Bamford and Vossen and give Kike bit of a break? Link to post Share on other sites

This season we really could do with getting knocked out both cups asap, Without picking up any injury's. I just want the players fully focused on getting us out of the Championship. IMO the cups will hinder our chances of getting promoted, 2 reasons for that. 1. Midweek cup games means less preparation for the impotent league games with 3 points at steak. 2.Inevitable injury's in the cup games, If we are not in the cup they is no chance of picking up injury's. Yes a player can pick up an injury in training but its about minimizing the chance of injury. I think this season could be the best chance for a long time to get promoted so I am hoping for early cup exits without injury. Link to post Share on other sites

That requires he defends and attacks in equal measures. Quite obviously. Link to post Share on other sites
