The Hillsborough club head into Sunday’s clash with Bristol City 11 points off second-placed Leeds, who let a three-goal lead slip at home to Cardiff last weekend.

But Reach, who’s eye-catching display in the 4-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on Saturday represents a timely return to form, believes the top two are catchable.

He said: “The way we are going we want to be chasing the front two rather than looking over our shoulders and seeing who is coming up behind us.

“We need to close that gap on West Brom and Leeds because I think we are more than capable of doing it.”

Wednesday go into this weekend’s clash with the Robins hoping to stretch an unbeaten run of five league matches.
