Cider-Head23 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 If he wasn't a local lad, and had been at the club for so many years. He'd of been hung out to dry like Mark Little.. Has some talent, but is nowhere near Championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ' slagging off ' started with your hilarious spelling of Reid's name and then the suggestion that he's not even good enough for the division's whipping boys .The first bit may have been an error but the latter certainly was n't. I just find your thread divisive at a moment when we should all be getting behind the lads as they try to get back on track . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 One of our better players this season, so the answer to the OP's ridiculous question is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Last night he was poor. Playing in the 'Tomlin role' he should have been getting into pockets of space to be creative, but he was always marked and offered nothing. Yes he's been good at times this season but it seems anyone saying him or Bryan are poor get shot down because they are local or young-ish. If we want to move forward as club players need to improve or be moved on, Reid and Bryan "currently" are OK championship players but probably not good enough to progress us long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I thought it was quite good when he got the ball on the edge of our box, ran half he length of the pitch and then played Abraham through on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 An interesting one for me. At times looks very good and at other times think he only gets a start as he's local. He could certainly work on his finishing and tonight had 2 great chances which neither found the target. What does confuse me is why he gets played in behind the striker but Tomlin generally seems to be pushed out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingLear Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I unfortunately don't get too many games due to personal circumstances so I will admit that I may not be in as good a position as others to commentate on individual performances. But singling out players and suggesting they are not even good enough for the bottom club isn't starting a debate, it's fishing for an argument. It winds me up as much as when people use the term 'Little Lee'. It's derogatory and isn't helping the situation, it's being divisive in a time when we need the exact opposite.

Put in a shift defensively that you wouldn't get from Tomlin. Thought he found the spaces well just didn't have the final ball on the day. Snatched at a couple long shots and had a few through balls deflected away. He was quite direct and kept working. He'd probably fit better in better teams as he'd have more space. You're not getting Tomlin like plays from Reid but Tomlin is probably one of, if not the best attacking midfielders in the league so I wouldn't expect him to thrive like Tomlin. Anyway, thought he played well as did about half the team. Unfortunately that meant about 4-5 players off the pace which is why we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does confuse me is why he gets played in behind the striker but Tomlin generally seems to be pushed out wide. For all his flaws, I doubt Huntingdonshire-born Lee Johnson would pick players for the first XI just on the basis that they were Bristolian. What Bob offers is an out-and-out attacking midfield role, making break-out runs down the centre and either having a crack himself or getting a pass to a striker. He's more direct than Tomlin, although obviously not as skilled. Last night, I thought he was decent until he was stuck out on the right wing, when he might as well have gone and sat in the stands. One other thing Bob does that is sadly rare in the team is that he harries his opponents when they are on the ball. He's a little terrier in that respect. Reid is no defender, but he is not going to let opponents stride past him in midfield if he can help it. Johnson's dilemma is that Reid and Tomlin are best in the same sort of place - attacking forward midfield. But when you play one and not the other, you lose the dynamic that the other player can bring to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Benjamin Ultra. ULTRA? Curious user name given Ultra ideals are SUPPORT THE TEAM AT ALL TIMES. Thought you and your Ultras were a bit crap last night Benjamin. Outsung by 250 Brentford. Too whiny ... Need blokes whose balls have gone South in the trouser dept. Can we swap you?

Nogbad the Bad Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Bobby obviously splits opinion and he's the sort of player who probably always will. Some fans can see no wrong in him and are extremely defensive at the slightest criticism. Others, like me, while accepting he's a naturally talented player, feel he has many limitations at this level. LJ rates him a bit too too highly imo. and he seems more loath to upset him in his rotations than some other players. Last night being a prime example of BR contributing very little imo. yet staying on while another more effective midfield player was subbed.

But when you play one and not the other, you lose the dynamic that the other player can bring to the team. It was an important, and publicised, part of LJ's remit to show there was a clear and visible pathway for local players from the Academy to the first team. It may therefore be that he is more willing to overlook deficiencies of local players, and give then more sustained opportunities to impress, than others who may be of a similar standard, i.e. in BR's case Brownhill, but who are not invested with the same long term hopes of those within the club. It is very notable how the club, through the OS, make a point of stressing the inclusion of local players as being a huge positive, i.e. last night the OS pre match headline, 'Bristolian duo recalled for Brentford clash' where the big news, in fact, was the manager 'resting' his own most expensive signing. Bobby Reid has made more appearances this season than any other City midfielder. I'm not sure such near constant inclusion has always been justified, nor do I think he would have been so prominent without the clubs policy of pushing home grown players, or indeed whether he would have been such a mainstay under another manager who hadn't known him since coaching him at u.14 level.

Fiale Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Best pass of the night, felt he and Hogan were the 2 better players in the game. Piched up the ball just outside our area, ran with the ball into space (I think a lot of our players forget you don;t have to pass if there is space ahead of you). Put through a perfect through ball to Tammy, who was then 1v1 with their keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Our third highest scorer, ffs!! Actually, scrap that, he is our second highest scorer if you ignore Tomlin's penalties! So for all the love for Tomlin, Reid is actually a more effective player this season. He needs to improve on his finishing but he'll be too good for us when he does.
