His best position is number 10 so it's him or move our player of the season out of his best position.

Agreed, Reid is unlucky but he can only play, effectively, in the same position as Camarasa and nobody would argue Reid would be first choice out of those two.

reid would have been starting 100% for me up top with niasse camasara behind front 2 for creativity

Be taller faster, or more prolific. Take your pick of the 3.

If we do go down he'll be a key player next season imo playing the Camarasa role. He's been unlucky this season because Camarasa is so good but Reid and Murphy will be massively important next season if we go down.

He certainly should have been more involved.

Couldn't disagree there tbh. Apart from Leicester at home I haven't seen him have a bad game, we always look more of a threat going forward he's on the pitch.

? I wasn't critisizing Reid. I like him, just explaining why he isn't starting. We can't replace Camarasa for him, and he can't go up top because we need height for how we play. His goal tally with games played isn't bad, but it also doesn't scream "pick me"

Already I’m gonna stop replying to you after this message with the fact you’ve Called Zohore lazy. You’re just speaking out of your arse. Reid isn’t better than Camarasa and his attributes to not suit a stand alone striker over Niasse or Zohore. That was the point. Ssssh

zohore not lazy lol u watched him in past 2seasons but yet u say im talking out of my arse he aint good enough was i calling for reid to play on his own no i wasnt was i calling for him to replace camasara no i wasnt i said in a previous post play him up top with someone with camasara poss playing jus off front two lol but yet im talking out of my arse what reid hasnt outscored zohore this season so far and last season but yet im yalking out of my arse

Re: Bobby Reid

Thu Apr 18, 2019 6:11 pm

I like to see Bobby Reid as a lone striker, he knows where the goal is. He did well when he started up top at Palace earlier in the season. Despite his size, he holds the ball up better than Zahore or Niasse. He's got a better touch under pressure and offers the same running power and work rate as Niasse. I've got no trust in Niasse' first touch, he's good when he runs but he can't hold it up. Zahore can hold it up but he's too slow and ponderous when laying it off so ruins any momentum on counter attacks.

You've been saying you wanted Reid to start. You said you wanted him to play behind paterson, before Reid got his goals. Because of that, I believe you'd be crying for Reid to start even if he hadn't scored. You clearly have a thing for Reid. He's not a bad player, but to suggest we play him up top on his own, knowing warnocks style, is obsurd.

You actually guarenteed people in a post before the Janurary window that Tan would just get loans, and if we do buy players he won't spend anymore than 10m. You've consistently slagged off Ralls saying you don't see what he brings to the team. You've shared that you believe Reid needs to be playing, even before he scored his goals.

And to top it off, you've said in a post about Gary Madine back in October, that Madine has scored more than Zohore last season, implying that Madine should/has been better than Zohore, you're absolutely disregarding how huge Zohore was for us up front last season, where you've constantly said you'd rather ship out Zohore than Madine. Wether he scored or not you don't get promoted with a lazy striker who doesn't offer other attributes. You wanted to sell Peltier in the janurary window.
You rathered moving on from the Sala signing and instead of signing Sala (A striker that we clearly needed and still need) you wanted to waste 15-20m on BUYING Camarasa, a player we will have for the rest of the season regardless.
You may wonder why I bring all of this up. I'm trying to show you that in regards to needing a striker, or how you wanted to sell Peltier, I'm sure you would have changed your mind by now, especially with Peltiers recent performances.

Based off your reputational posts here's what people can gather

Players you haven't connected with so you will constantly bash
Ralls
Zohore

Players you have a misplaced connection with based off what they've done for other teams.
Gary Madine
Reid

Just because they've done it in the championship with other teams doesn't mean they suit us.

Reid may come good still, but Reid has no right to start a game up front when we are already missing height in our midfield and defence now that Bamba is injured. We NEED a tall striker, simple as that. As for you claiming you'd sell Zohore for 3m, that's just completely ignorant and short sighted. For 3m we may as well keep him, wether he gets his goals or not.

He's quicker than Niasse, better in the air than Niasse and more prolific than Niasse. So why's he not getting a game?

If you want to cling onto the 4 goals he's scored, sure, I'll give you "more prolific than Niasse" point.

As far as better in the air than Niasse, let's explore that.

Reid has had 60 Aeriel duels. He has won 24 of them. He wins 40% of his duels.
Niasse has had 64 Aeriel duels. He has won 32 of them. He wins 50% of his duels.

Faster? I'm not too sure about that either, Reid isn't slow. But Reid has good agility and is quite good at controlling the ball, has a good low sense of gravity which helps him quickly change direction etc. But speed? Faster than Niasse? That's debatable.

Like I said, if Reid is to demand a start, he needs to be faster, taller & more prolific than he is. Scoring 4 goals doesn't warrent you a place in the starting 11. Ask Murphy & Patterson (When he was on the bench before he was injured).

Sorry but if you're as small as Reid, the only place for you in this team is behind the striker, and since Camarasa is there, there's literally no place to put reid. We're fine as we are, I don't see the big fuss about demanding he starts. I'd prefer Ken over Niasse personally, but I definetely would prefer Niasse over reid up top, purely due to the height aspect, for Etheridge's high goal kicks, and also Niasse gives us experience too, not just goal experience, just all round play.

Sat Apr 20, 2019 12:57 pm

We've got two players in him and Murphy who are both very talented but don't really get a game.
It's very strange really because they both cost a lot in transfers and salary . They've both justified it with goals when they've been picked so I've no idea what we're up to with this

- and what's happened to Greg Cunningham....
