da betsul： Sheffield Wednesday were denied the chance to move back into playoff contention by Derby County earlier this week.
The Owls opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when midfielder Barry Bannan pounced on a defensive mistake to slot through Steven Fletcher, who hit it first-time around the home goalkeeper.
But they were pegged back eight minutes from time when Moses Odubajo calamitously brought down Rams forward Jack Marriott inside the area leaving Chris Martin with a chance to equalise from the spot.
The right-back was then sent off in the dying stages after picking up a second yellow card, leaving fans absolutely reeling by his performance on social media.
However, for once, the negative spotlight wasn’t put on winger Adam Reach as he put in an impressive display.
The 26-year-old is the definition of a marmite figure at Hillsborough, whatever he does on the pitch, supporters will have something to say about it.
They’ve gone for him multiple times this season – against Birmingham City, against Blackburn Rovers and against Everton. It’s even got to the point where Barry Bannan has had to defend him publicly.
But if the enigmatic wide man can follow on from his showing on Wednesday, then maybe attitudes can swing in his favour in the future.
Per SofaScore, Reach recorded three key passes, one successful dribble, two tackles and one clearance. He clearly did his job both in the attack and defensively, showing that he’s still giving his all for the team despite constant criticism.
The former Middlesbrough man has only scored one goal all season, but he does rank second in the side for assists with four, via WhoScored.
This latest showing should, at least, offer some encouragement going forward to those that have doubted him in south Yorkshire.
