Can Robins explain why he put a tub of lard on carrying at least 2 stone over where he should be over Reid who can deliver a cross?

He said to try and open the game up and maybe get a goal

 

[steveo1987]

Open a pie you mean.He could barely move he is so fat

Reckons it was Cos the game was being played through the middle ,seemed to suggest NC dictated that.
So why not switch Bayliss back and use Reid to stretch it.
He seemed to say that because the crosses hadn't worked they wouldn't work with different personel.

It's nonsense as Barrett went wide left too.

He's massive. His shorts looked like they were Lycra cycling shorts they were that tight on him.

Reid is a terrible professional. Colchester who are below us did not want him to extend the loan. His attitude last season was a disgrace. To indulge him and pretend he can save our season (or care less) is delusional.

He’s supposed to be a championship standard footballer who last season ended up in league one where he was abject. In league two he’s no better.

When I saw him waddle on I knew it was game over

Reid will cross more balls that tubby will do in a lifetime

That’s true. But it’s painful. When have we ever scored from a cross. We weren’t ever going to score from a cross today.

McNulty and JCH for all their attributes aren’t great in the air. I agree with robins more likely the cut back in getting close to penalty area.

TBF to Robins his substitutions weren’t bad today and he made them early.

JCH and JP defintaely made an impact on the game.

First time seen Barrett.
Must admit don't remember seeing a similar physique in 50 years of watching professional.
Not convinced will help our cause much.

Tommy Lawrence?

Nice reply.
Incredibly my first game 50 years ago was against a team in all red back in 68. Most likely Tommy Lawrence
was the goalie if it was indeed Liverpool.
To be honest I don't remember their goalies physique that day!!

Must agree with most of what he said
He only came back because no one else wants him.
Should have kept his mouth shut and got on with it.

So you would still rate Barret higher than Reid. Utter tosh !!

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

To be honest for all of Reid’s pace and beating of his full back he hardly ever produces any end result. I can’t understand people’s obsession with him.

Doesn't he have more league assists this season than any of our other players?

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

I’d doubt it this season for us or last season

 

[Pete in Portugal]

Doesn't he have more league assists this season than any of our other players?

Only 1 assist for Reid in the league this season. McNulty has 5, Jones 4 and Biamou 3.

None according to this for us.

I think Nick is including his Colchester spell

He may we’ll be but it won’t help us out.
Reid’s best to come on for the last 20 minutes and run at people. If nothing else it will put the opposition on the back foot a bit. For an experienced winger his crossing is not very good.

That's obviously wrong then.

It’s one then is it?

 

[johnwillomagic]

I think rightly or wrongly as one of our higher earners and when like yesterday we appear to be lacking in pace.
People clasp rather desperately to the "get Kyel Reid on" phililosophy based on that he is one of our quickest players and has played at higher level.

The reality is that he generally ....takes a while to build up to his pace and his delivery is hit and miss being generous at best.

I also do not think with Notts County's aerial approach he would have been that effective that does not really seem to be his kind of game generally.

All that being said would have probably put him on before Barrett for sure and probably JP and he got our goal - all about opinions.
Let's not forget he started in the 6-2 defeat though.

Sod that - they don't count!

He's massive. His shorts looked like they were Lycra cycling shorts they were that tight on him.

They were lycra. He likes the feel of them.
