GrahamC Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Rich_s said: I think he'll do quite well, especially in a side with a bit more creativity. He has a decent first touch and a knack for finding space. Though he doesn't have blistering pace he's no slouch either. Look forward to seeing him on MOTD. I think he'll be the surprise package in the prem next season and be in the top ten goal scorers. When’s he joining a side with a bit more creativity then? Cardiff earned more points than us but sides in the bottom six were more creative than them. Had the lowest amount of possession bar Bolton last season, the fewest passes, most headers and second most fouls. Creativity? Nah. To answer the original question genuinely don’t give a **** how he does, dead to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how he fits in to a Neil warnock team? Maybe @BS4 on Tour... might know? He's a expert on all things warnock . I agree with @JonDolman - Warnock will probably have to adapt Cardiff’s system to accommodate Bobby - but his work rate, commitment and willingness to cover every blade will sit well with Neil’s demands for non stop effort. I do think Bobby will find the premier league a difficult place initially - and I know it’s been said repeatedly by alot of people on here - but he has only had one good season and now has a big price tag around his neck....it’s a massive season for Bobby...but he ain’t our player anymore so I’m not gonna think about it too much....

The more I think about it the more I think Warnock went for him to upset us as much as wanting him for his team, like we did with Taylor. Cardiff don’t play Bobby Reid type football, so are they really going to rip it up to accommodate one player? The lure of the Premiership and location was too much for Bobby to resist, Cardiff might be straight back down and/or Warnock gone so he had to grab his chance now, I understand that. But I don’t think even Bobby knows what will happen next season, or hand on heart if he made the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Think he will doing fine, he is an intelligent player. Probably Cardiff will be in the end of the table, so I dont think he will score 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Can’t see him doing much at all in a team that will have 10 men behind the ball in most games tbh, just can’t see how it’ll suit his game at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 He's got good technical ability though, plus work rate- could he get assists? His ability to be the trigger for the press could stand him in decent stead, dunno if there's the supply line for him to get many. (OTOH, Warnock's QPR and Sheffield United not that bad to watch but that's basically it in 30 years)! I predict he will work hard, get a handful of goals, handful of assists, generally do alright individually in terms of player ratings- but in that setup won't stand much of a chance of a decent return.

Fiale Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hope he does really well, show our academy lads that the Prem is achievable and potential youngsters that our academy can produce top flight players. Also cannot harm us if he's scoring and we get the odd mention. Also, hope he does well for his own sake, it;s been his dream to play top flight football, really hope he grabs the chance and it's as good as he hoped.

sh1t_ref_again Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Shame he went to Baadiff, not just for the fact i hate them, but I think could have looked good in the prem in the right ball playing team. As for the head slapping, the amount he is now being paid and the PR guy says can you just do this for the camera, what is he going to say, sorry a few on OTIB are going to have a hissy fit so I can't, or yes of course, but not for long as the Bentley sales guy is waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 He played against the mighty Tavistock AFC - not that preseason matters that much, but seems he had a good game. Reid looking lively Reid is a livewire, popping up on both flanks as he drifts from his no.10 position. Cardiff will hope the former Bristol City star can link up with Madine tonight. GOAL! Tavistock 0 Cardiff 4 4-0! Bobby Reid rounds off another team move to slot home. Cardiff just too quick for the Lambs here. That was lightning. Reid still looking lively Hoilett nearly latches onto a fine ball to the back post there, Cunningham has been heavily involved in this half. Reid goes through and almost scores but he’s flagged offside. Reid has potentially been Cardiff’s brightest player tonight, albeit against much inferior opposition. Fair play to Tavistock who have held the visitors at arms length for the last 10 minutes or so. An incredible save denies Madine a hat-trick! Another chance goes begging Sensational cross-field ball from Reid into Hoilett who forces another good save from the Tavistock keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I think Warnock might surprise everyone a adapt his approach a little (not a lot mind you). Maybe he will realise that you need to score 50 goals to give yourself a chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and I'd be surprised if he gets to start much for Cardiff in the PL. I supect he'll be a bench warmer. Not that I'm remotely interested.

Wanderingred Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 The thought of one of our own with the talent and work rate of Bobby wearing a Cardiff shirt makes me feel physically sick. Nothing against the lad personally but I have no desire to follow his progress or hope he does well. I hope Cardiff crash and burn and if that means a fruitless season for Bobby then so be it. Some might see this as petty but since when were footballing emotions supposed to be rational and balanced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason not to either . He is a bloody good player . There's more to him than goal scoring and he can only get better with experience. Oh ye of little faith.
