Only a few weeks ago Tim Ream was in the doldrums and stories were around that he was looking for a move back to the MLS. Then just before the holiday period enforced circumstances saw him back in the team and his performances since has made him a firm favourite with the Gaffer. His display at the weekend against Barnsley was (arguably) one of his best; with key stats of: 93% passing accuracy 71% Ariel Duels won 6 Clearances 2 Interceptions And an impressive heat map - Do you reckon he could be the next Chris Baird? Apathy to Empathy (being polite!).
My criticism of Ream is that he lacks concentration over 90 minutes (especially after 70 mins). Every since we bought him in to partner Stearman he has had numerous disasters due to his lack of awareness and concentration. But as I say it's all about partnerships. He had a good game against Barnsley and I think Jokanovic likes him because he is versatile and 2 footed, good in the air (against smaller opposition).
I know Ream has his bad points but on paper he is our fourth choice centre half, I can't think of another team in our division who has a fourth choice centre half as good as Ream.
