Taz Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 He's actually listed on their website as a midfielder - looked on there the other day when the thing about his name came up! Warnock doesn't see him as a striker at all. Strange one though when you consider the reason they bought him was on the back of his goals scored from playing up front last season....

Obviously we won't be paying all his wages though. Stitched Colin up well there didn't we, even worse than we did with Tubby Tomlin. I doubt he will have any more of our players on his shopping list. Maybe Bobby will get a game when they bounce back down to the Championship at the end of the season. He is playing in the PL so don’t be too bitter now, with Murphy on one wing and bobby up front or on the right wing, we will do ok, junior hoillet and zohore too, we have plenty of pace. Added to this 2 new midfielders in Arter, who looks perfect and camerassa from Betis, we now have a midfield who can play a bit, how un Warnock hey? Still, it doesn’t bother me if we do come back down, we will be a lot stronger next season. Can’t work out who I want to win today with you at the unwashed. I guess you lot aren’t going anywhere, so jacks to lose and go down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a perfectly valid approach, though I think it will have limited effect in the PL and personally I don't enjoy watching it. It doesn't require a number 10 however but rather combative and energetic players. Bobby fits that description but his role would be more likely be to try to pressurise defenders and pick up loose balls around the box. He certainly isn't going to be a playmaker.

Because he can have the energy to get in behind that long ball or beyond it if it sticks. The ten viewed as a playmaker there is misnomer. Cardiff attacking players are all expected to cover lots of ground in games but also in a pressing capacity.Bobby Reid's physical capacity to cover ground is a primary asset.

Very true but the clear evidence is that they were a long ball team. Of course they will score a number of goals by passing, any idiot can work that out as they are pro footballers, but essentially they are a long ball team and there is tonnes of stats to support it.

Yes, the term no.10 does seem to be used to mean different things by different people. I could do with a glossary. Or a return to full backs, half backs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_exile Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 pretty sure he's made a mistake by going to Cardiff, but that's hardly the end of the world. He's still young and how he gets on at Cardiff won't define his career - he'll get the right move eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I think Bobby is the type of player that needs regular football. If he is not starting regularly then he may fade.... Best of luck to him but given Cardiff’s style I just can’t see him doing well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
