    I saw reach play quite well against us in the past – mind you I think he was up against Alan Nyom
    Really disappointed with him from day one.

    Why he gets in the team? just shows how bad our left side really is. Who else is left

    He is a slightly better defender than Diangana and Grant so basically just nuisance value for the opposition a warm body on the pitch but offers zip going forward.

    Says something about our quality when we are missing Philips

    The boss worked miracle’s forging a bunch of losers into a winning team but some individuals are beyond all hope.

    I said a week ago that Phillips is a big loss.

    Gets skated on here but in our present squad he’s integral to our best 11.

    Certain fans love to kick Phillips in the way they always kicked Brunt.

    A sure sign they know f u c k all about football.

    It was the same with Morrison, always taking flack.

    Brunt and Morrison were like Xavi abs Iniesta compared to anything else we’ve had in those positions in the past 30 odd years or more.

    Phillips would be in my best 25 Albion players of the past decade if I was putting a list together.

    The bloke works his nuts off and never gives less than his utmost and boy do we miss him.

    I’d be tempted to try him at right back next season if we play four at the back, he’s a far better option both defending and going forward than anybody else we have for that slot.

    He is also still relatively young, after Yokuslu and Wallace is next on the team sheet.

    Essentially the view is that Reach gets priority in selection/substitution because he is able to play in a number of positions !
    Unbelievable!!

    Phillips, when Bruce was manager, was generally ineffective, it seemed to me that he didn’t know what he was supposed to be doing. When Carlos arrived, his form picked up immediately. So his loss through injury has been a blow. Also shows how useless Potato Head was.

    Lovely little player.

    Phillips though only plays two thirds of a season if you are lucky. We can’t support players who are consistently out injured like him, Bryan, Grady and Bartley! Won’t be long before Dike joins them in the treatment room.

    Not a fan of Phillips as he’s too inconsistent even when fit to play! More poor games than excellent ones but yes he can be excellent at times.
