EnclosureSurge Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Me included, I've oft thought Reid is a bit (wait for it) lightweight (go!) and, no matter how many close ups of his muscles I'm shown, he's still shorter and thinner and tiddlier than many opposing midfielders and, of course, centre-halves. But when he legitimately shoulder barged Chris Wood in front of the home dugout in the 2nd half last night...and won the ball...was a sight to behold. Great stuff. "Long may it continue", is, I believe, the mot du jour here. Shame his shot - on 1m35s below - wasn't as good as the one at Fullum. Still, he can't score with every shot, eh?! Paterson's ball to him wasn't as inch perfect as Tomlin's to Pack. The way Tomlin keeps their backtracking bloke guessing till he nearly ties his own legs in knots is wonderful. Paterson, below, probably knackered, doesn't quite put the ball in Reid's stride pattern well enough, see how Reid has to adjust a little. Tiny things like that, as anyone who plays football will know, um, make a difference...hang on I seem to be comparing myself to the First XI here...er...anyway...how bout that shoulder barge, eh?!

Fiale Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 0:15 seconds he gets back, kicks the ball a little wide giving our defenders time to get back 0.28 A perfect pass and should have been a goal, when you see players making these types of passes every game (and he does) you know he has talent shame the pass to him forced him to check and go to the right more, but a good run.. thing is he does this stuff the whole game, damned man crush coming out again !

That is the mark of quality - the ability to time and weight the pass perfectly. Ditto for Freeman v Fulham. I think most defenders think Tomlin's ego will mean he'll go for the spectacular, but he appreciates the higher percentage option. He's a lovely break now. Hope he doesn't take a couple of games to get up to speed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 0.28 is a ball that only Tomlin could do apart from Bobby, he has a great eye for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
