But you have to say he's been one of our better players this season and deserves the plaudits.

Townsend on the other hand has regressed in my view. Maybe he needed competition or a rest a few weeks ago. Either way, he's struggled lately for me. I know it was only one game but Reach played pretty well the other night and I'd throw him in instead of Townsend tomorrow. He also offers us more threat going forward, as evidenced by the first goal v Rotherham. We definitely need a new LB next season whichever league we're in.
Carlos really rates Reach for his versatility. He was great v Rotherham. I have to look past that his movement reminds me of a young girl trying to walk in her mothers high heels. Once I do that I can see what he actually does. Would be happy for him to start v Sunderland also.
