In addition he lacked the composure last season to finish at least 2 sitters which cost us points in games, whilst his feeble surrender of possession in others led directly to the opposition scoring. The manager went from describing him as a potential £5M player to bombing him out completely because he couldn't "trust" him. Would a player who hadn't come through the academy be given so many chances to redeem themselves or re-invent as something they're clearly not? Of course not. It's the only reason he's still anywhere near the first team but helpfully allows the manager to brown nose the owner about giving youth a chance (a pre-condition of anyone, post Cotterill, being given the job).

JamesBCFC Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think Johnson confirming our interest in Eliasson means that transfer is not a million miles away from being resolved, whether for good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Apparently no interest/bids from Leeds for Flint and Bryan and "they wouldn't want to move there anyway" or words to that effect. That's the rumour on Twitter anyhoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another year on MM...His shooting was well on target and very powerful too. I know it was only against Yeovil but it don't matter when shooting ...I know his history but this is his year what with younger players coming in he got to make it or be moved on..

Course it does - against a lesser defence you got longer to compose yourself - against top defences you don't get that time and as a result you end up snatching at shots, refer back to last year with him.

Benjam!n Ultra Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Reid is one of the worst finishers, including his composure, out of our attack minded players so this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was under pressure to shoot and got his shots in one of which he scored from, agree he ain't going to get the same time in the championship but when do hopefully it will be at least on target.....Think he will get better with performances but the idea situation will be Matty Taylor back fit but i do think that this is interesting ...Everyone see's it different eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 also remember Đurić, Taylor and Engvil are still carrying knocks, Hunds is unlikely to be in the first team, that doesn't leave us much, but then if we change it to 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 the same people would then be moaning that we are too negative or setting up to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Are some people really as stupid as they sound on here..?! All our other strikers are carrying knocks, so he's trying Bobby up front. IF, come the Barnsley match, other strikers haven't recovered then that will be our only real option. If the other forwards are back and match fit, then of course Bobby won't be first choice for the front two. It's really not that hard to understand or see the reasoning behind!!

That's a good point - He does strike a ball as well as anyone in the squad - His goal at a bath last year and watching him in shooting drills shows that The composure in a split second is an issue for any striker / potential striker - if he could crack that he does have attributes to make himself a second forward Im not sure he will pull it off, and certainly wouldn't want to rely on him in that role atm but it's not outrageous to have a look at it IMHO if I squint slightly I can actually see quite a bit of Nicky Maynard in him what will be interesting is who he plays in our final friendly and whether Gustavo gets any mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
