Red Skin Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not sure I agree with description of Bobby being a maverick and that's why Warnock didn't play him. Load of tosh. No one works harder for the team and does so in any position he is asked to play. Bobby is a footballer, that's why he didn't play him. I could never understand why Warnock signed him. If ever there was a player that didn't suit Warnock's style of play, it's Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Did seem an odd transfer from Cardiff's end at the time. Certainly didn't expect Bobby to wait around for another chance at Prem football and we got a decent fee. Don't agree with this description though... "Decordova-Reid was a maverick talent and Warnock seemed to have an inherent distrust of unpredictable players" If that's how Colin saw him, then why bother in the first place.

Not sure the article told us much apart from Cardiff were route one in The Prem under Warnock & he picked other players instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journalist Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Bobby was anything but a maverick. In fact, our best spell of football in four years under Lee Johnson was built around the fact Bobby had the energy and work-rate to do the pressing of two strikers!

Super Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 He was superb against Liverpool and not just the goal worked his socks off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 One season wonder still according to some. Smashing them in against the PL Champions says otherwise not that his pedigree was ever in doubt to anyone with a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think he was a good fit in the right system, if you're looking for a forward to press and work hard out of possession to win the ball back he would have fit well but Warnock signed him to play him as a 10 seemingly and that wasn't where he excelled with us.

Baba Yaga Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Was very pleased to see him score against Liverpool (and Everton a few weeks ago). I watched Burnley a few weeks ago and think Josh Brownhill is playing some good stuff for them too. Shows that it can take a while to adapt but both players are coming good, just need Joe Bryan to get some games now haven't been following too closely but haven't seen him playing much this season.

shepton red Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think it is great to see ex City players in the Premiership. However, it does ultimately question the ambition of the Club, and how much drive there is to achieve that goal. Last night was dire, but on reflection with the amount of injuries, perhaps not totally surprising. If only we had players such as Bownhill, Bobby and Tom Heaton.

Well given the club were turning down offers of £16m etc for Webster I'd say there is a high ambition, only when it reached £20m did we accept. The club also isn't in a position to turn down 8 figure fees for players who have 12 months left on their contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the highlights of Fulham V Brighton So Bobby v Adam Webster, didn't see much of BCR, but Webster was very unlucky not to score with a great header, and is still making those marauding runs out of defence to support the attack. I think I miss Webster the most from our ex players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
