Red Army 75 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Been watching city for 33 years and I can't remember a better midfield player. 33 years old chasing the ball down like he's 20. Creates so much time on the ball . Norwich must be mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Better than Hartley? From the radio, he sounds a great player and uses the ball really well. Great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not him He just has the reassurance. Really good footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 His work rate and the ability to be available and support his team mates allows the others to play. Thanks to him Bobby Reid was able to run the game in midfield despite being up against Jedinak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 A steadying presence, a busy player and a damn good captain. I like the bloke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 You can see when any of our defenders have the ball they are looking to give it to O'Neil to get us going. Really looking forward to getting Korey back in there next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Pack, Reid and Smith will learn so much from him. Thought Pack showed some excellent touches and aggression which helped us finish the game off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Ben Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Loved it towards the end when Grealish was breaking, and about to sprint past GON on to the ball. Moments earlier Grealish had been a petulant tart (again). O'Neill gently watched him, stepped across... bodycheck to the floor. Back in your box. That shut him up.

I thought Reid had a good second half. GO'N was one of the few players to emerge with any credit from the first half and yes, he ran the game.

Reid is very good on the break, quick and uses the ball fairly well in their half. He also works hard and closes down. He's terrible in a one on one and does not often win challenges, letting players go past him too easily and push him off the ball with one hand. There is a player in there but I'm not sure it's a championship central midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have struggled to see it without being there. Reid's improved since LJ arrived , but remains lightweight and very capable of giving the ball away in dangerous positions. I guess 'Bobby blindness' is the opposite to those who get mildly aroused every time he completes a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking players will and should be actively encouraged to make the kind of passes that may give the ball away. If Bobby ever stops making them, then I will be the first to criticise him. Lee mentioned him in his interview for his positivity and just remember who helped win the free kicks around the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 O"Neil was immense today and drove the team forward in the second half. Excellent Captain and example of leadership on the pitch - a great signing Flint & Hordur also improving every game so lots of positives and can only get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 But is he Gary O'Niel, Gary O'Neal, or Gary O'Neil?? Spelt all three ways in todays match programme. Worse than OTIB - and you'd think the club would know how it's spelt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinreliant Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Did anybody see Marlon get a wack from I think it was Bobby Reid's elbow or hand during the celebration of Tomlin's goal. Right in the mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really needs sorting out. I don't buy a programme any more, but when I did there would be at least one spelling mistake every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between heaven and hell Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Did anyone notice the way he very cleverly fell on top off the ball when Villa could easily of broken away on a counter attack. Very experienced to help our young un's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Gomes Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 GON was my man of the match today as he was last week. Always available and I can't remember him ever making a wrong pass even when it's 30 yards. Must admit I did not see him as a marque signing at the start of the season but already believe it to be one on the most if not the most influential signings we made. Absolute clas.
