bcfctim Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Surprised not to see a thread on him. Even by his standards I think that was the best I've seen him play. Energy endless, touch sublime, vision...some of his passes I instinctively wondered who he was playing them to until I saw Bryan or Paterson racing behind their defence. And his newfound strength! Fry and Gibson barely knocked him off the ball all game, and they couldn't handle his trickery. He made it look effortless. The only thing his performance was missing today was a goal. That's the first time talk of 8 figure fees hasn't seemed like hyperbole. We've got some player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Their number 10 cost them £10m from Ligue 1 this summer, but he didn't look half the player Bobby is on tonight's showing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 His all round improvement is incredible -his movement and link up play almost more impressive than his goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Scared the crap outta Boro all game. The number of times he managed to control a high ball under pressure from a much bigger defender and then spin away to create space. I've always felt Bobby was a talented player, but never envisaged that this would be the player he'd become. Absolute magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Beyond brilliant this season even without the goals. Our undoubted talisman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 He is class. Proved tonight that we can play him on his own up top and that is the way forward. Brilliant stuff from LJ playing an away formation at home. Boro didnt have a clue how to combat it. Fair play Lee, you are a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 He had absolutely no right to win the amount he did today, let alone hold onto the ball as well as he did. Was completely isolated against players probably a foot taller than him, yet was shrugging them off and breezing past them like he was just at the park with some mates.

Dullmoan Tone Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Even if we could find a replacement it would cost >£10m, we should just give him an eye watering pay rise, sign him up and move on. I don't believe he is playing for a new contract he is simply loving the freedom up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Anyone remember watching 'Soap' on channel 4, with 'real bert' and 'alien bert'. I think we have a similar situation with our bobby. He's definitely not the same player I was watching last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 The January transfer window looks a frightening prospect. Joe Bryan, Bobby Reid and Aden Flint will all be chased down by bigger clubs. In another thread I said that THIS was the best City team I'd ever seen. I just hope that the players show the same loyalty as Richie and Merrick when the big bucks were dangled by Arsenal in promotion season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Olé recently posted that we had a "genuine superstar" in Bobby Reid in one of his match reviews. I thought it was an exaggeration at the time. Today he was exactly that. Consistency is the key, but if he continues to play like that, that's exactly what he will be.

Things are good here right now. They'd be mad to go, in all honesty. Money talks, but i'd like to think that so does team spirit. Kurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Players stock is high but so is ours as a club I think were (as a club) matching our players price tag at the moment, if we were playing like this but midtable then I would be more worried.

TinMan's left peg Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Bobby’s technique has always been obvious to see and I’m so glad he’s now using it to drive us forward as a team. With Joe also looking prem quality is it possible to say in them we have the 2 potentially best Bristolian footballers ever to play? Or are we some way off that accolade?

As always, the key factor is that we don`t need to sell. I just watched the re-run of the game and the commentator mentioned at one point that SL was the 14th richest club owner in the country.
