I'm not in anyway shape or form driving one into Bobby with my comments - I'm just saying let's not get ahead of ourselves and think that he will be the one to replace tammys goals based on 4 tap ins.

If I was a Championship centre back I would lose very little sleep over facing him. I really want him to do well because he's an academy boy and is city through and through. However, do people really think he causes the opposition enough problems?? I'm not a BR fan - certainly not in his 'former' midfield position - but if he's scoring in just about every game I expect the opposition defences are starting to worry about him. If this was Taylor scoring 4 in 3 we'd be saying what a great Championship striker he was proving to be. Whether BR can keep it up, or offers enough in his all round game if the goals dry up is another matter, but while he keeps on scoring you'd have to say he's doing enough.

Yes he was in the right place but I doubt his goals scored yardage doesn't make the 18 yard box. Each goal he has had time with and pretty much an open goal. When under pressure he still rushes his shot and misses a fair amount of good opportunities. I'm hoping given games he develops the composure under pressure to his game but let's not get to carried away just yet. See next post. 1 hour ago, otib118 said: Not sure Tammy scored many from outside the 6 yard box last year and that didn't go to badly for him!

At one point I think he'd scored 11/12 goals from a sum yardage of 71 yards. There is no pleasing some City fans, some who seem desperate for his goals to dry up. We are so fickle and short term in our thinking. We fought to the end tonight to grab an undeserved point. Can't we sometimes just wait for 90 minutes (or 98 in tonight's case) before giving our verdict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Đurić out for 12 weeks we desperately need a striker Yep, but when that happens 4x in quick succession it's no fluke. It does alter the fact he may have been otherwise poor because putting the ball in the net, however scuffed or shinned, is so vital. He's missed a couple of sitters but his conversion rate is still very good, even taking into account nudges over the line and tap ins. I've criticised him in the past - and LJ seems to agree he's not consistent enough for m/f duties in the Championship - but even I can't find fault with 4 goals in 3 games!

I guess we all see it differently and that's why forums are interesting places. I personally thought we defended pretty well, fought hard but had little outlets and weren't able to move up the pitch. barring the first 15 mins when I thought we were excellent, I thought we caused them little problems- not just Bobbie by any means, but to be a good team you need strikers who can create something out of nothing. Although Fam was poor he has that about him, the hard truth is I do t feel Bobbie has. However, I would love to be proved wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong he's doing well and long may it continue. The whole team was poor last night, not just Bobby. I just feel it's essential we sign a striker with pace that can be a natural outlet for the team when we're under pressure. We couldn't get out of our own half last night and offered zero attacking threat after the first 15 mins. I was celebrating the goal like we'd won the league but it didn't change the fact we were completely outplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yes Bobby is doing well to get goals, but last night both he and Diedhiou were poor up top. This led to a lot of pressure on our midfield and defence meaning we got overran and thus conceded goals. We need more than just goals, but I'll out last night down to an off game.

bearded_red Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I can't believe what I'm reading. Is this really a thread about Bobby Reid? Where are all the top level comedians hilariously repeatedly calling him 'young Bobby'? Or even the superbly arrogant shout that is claiming those of us that like him do so because we're simpletons blinded by his place of birth rather than just thinking he is quite good at football? It's almost as if he's a decent player who's ability and new found versatility is good option in our squad Enjoying the arguments that he only scores tap ins and he's missed chances in between the ones he scored though. I promise you, much, much better players than Bobby Reid are guilty of those heinous crimes. And sometimes when they haven't actually scored 4 goals in 3 games. Is he perfect? Well obviously not. Is he as good a forward as the two we've been fortunate enough to have up front in our last two seasons? Well again, obviously not. But he is a good player who has now shown that with confidence he can score and has the ability to see and pick a pass in the final third. I've barely seen it mentioned and it didn't make the highlights, but his pass through to Diedhiou Saturday was excellent. His pressing from the front in my opinion has been the best part of our play this season, although unfortunately he was doing it alone last night which will lead to nothing more than chasing shadows. Well in Bobby, keep it up. (Although recognising that 4 goals in 3 games obviously won't be kept up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really an argument I have championed ' Young ' Bobby for many seasons so agree that he is a good player and now is beginning to show what he can do when not constantly dropped to make way for a new glamorous signing. It was this that stopped him from progressing and I'm delighted that LJ has given him a run in the team and boosted his confidence. That saying I bloody hope he isn't dropped if we bring in a new forward . Long my his form continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
