As a midfielder, Bobby is average and I would have let him leave at the time but as a striker, he's excellent, a totally different proposition. I disagree, despite everyone hating his style of football and much more, let's not forget Sean O'Driscoll was the first manager who I remember giving Bobby a sustained chance in the first team. He recognised his all round footballing quality. I always felt Bobby was able to drive the team on and change the tempo more than other midfielders at the time.

Bobby has had one good season and he has one year extension on his current contract. As supporters, we have no influence on any of this (unless of course you are Lansdown). So I suggest that we all stop wasting our energy on speculation and enjoy Bobby for the time being...! Spoilsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was poor in midfield Tone but he didn't, at the time, appear to be any better than the other midfielders we had IMO , a tad lightweight was how I remember him in midfield TBH. As a forward, he's top notch but, obviously, I didn't see that before LJ moved him up the pitch. Hands up fella, I was wrong then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I do not rate LJ he has to take a lot of credit for moving Bobby further up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club can remind anyone who's 'head is turned' how Flint could have ended up there Perhaps they wouldn't be where they are had they managed to sign him of course. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it mind, who would have thought Brum would be where they are, and us where we are in back inJuly 2017?

City lost top scorer Tammy last season and Kodjia the season before so if Reid did move for a very decent fee on I wouldn't be too worried.

PHILINFRANCE Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 On 11/04/2018 at 15:02, The goal is that way said: He had talks earlier this season with a prem team from the north west. I’m sure they are keeping tabs on him still! He’ll be gone imo On 11/04/2018 at 15:15, The goal is that way said: Don’t want to say who as I shouldn’t be saying this. But I know he was talking to representatives of the club at another club in the south west’s ground a couple of months into the start of the season. If they still want him (and let’s face it he has carried on doing well) I wouldn’t expect him to turn it down, or the BCFC turn down the money!!! Do enough digging and I’m sure someone else has named the club! So we can rule out Newcastle and any of the London teams . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I've always rated Bobby Reid. I think the club said that as we enter a new era we are to expect more players to come and go. Bobby has been fantastic and hitting the 20 goal mark is significant for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 If he were to leave this summer, I could see it being Swansea (if they stay in the Premier League) - for reasons below: Relatively close by He would fit into their team and wouldn't have to displace any serious talent. Could fill the void of Tammy Tammy might have recommended Bobby from their time last year Carvalho probably keeps close tabs on the Championship - though to be fair, I would imagine most Prem managers do - through their talent scouts etc. Just a thought.
