Record season ticket numbers will dwindle next season!

Well, that will surely depend on results during the season rather than the pedantics of whether the club/manager have splashed out on 'names' just to appease the few who don't understand the club's position

There will be disappointment for the club, manager and supporters that some of their targets haven't materialised but we are where we are and we move on...mainly (but clearly not all) together!


We havent splashed out on anybody Sven. Just given our rivals a helping hand

Hardly prolific is he? Take away his one season wonder tally of 21 and his record is appalling :old: 3 in 33 on loan for Plymouth, 0 in 3 for Oldham and another 5 in the other 6 seasons for Bristol :clap:

Completely anonymous! You may wish to watch is movement and cross for our second goal.

No you dont have to give us 10-12mil have him on loan!!!

This is can only be that we're trying to save on wages!!

Just when you think you've seen it all!!


In fairness I don't think anyone are our promotion rivals.

If this window has shown anything it's that, despite the same bollocks that gets trotted out every transfer window, the club really isn't serious about trying to compete for promotion.

They are keeping their fingers crossed and banking on Warnock being able to work his magic like he did two seasons ago.

Manga leaving was a far bigger blow than losing Reid - never really took to Reid - not Messi in disguise as some on here would make you believe!

Look at the official club statement on this deal and compare it with the statement on Greg Cunningham, with Reid it's "Thanking him for his contribution whilst at the Cardiff City Stadium", with Cunningham "It wishes him good luck during his time away from the Cardiff City Stadium"

That says to me Ried is not coming back.

I agree mate.
He’s gone now so we move on.
Support the players in the short, the ones who want to be here.

reid was never played to his strengths. he's the total opposite to how neil likes to play. he's well suited to fulham.

No problem with him going, i do doubt why we ever purchased him in the first place though

I totally agree with this scenario. “Engineered” a move, hopefully back to Bristol City first...

Apart fr8m that 1 season his record is shocking, was he always playing attacker though? Basically Neil is admitting he got signing him wrong, and madine, and Murphy is on dodgy ground.....not looking too good for big money signings are we?

totally agree, he was a cracking player and a big loss at the back, Reid was totally ineffective for us, it was like playing with ten men!

Can't believe there's idiots saying they glad he's gone, we'll be left with lower league chancers but hey, if they can hoof the ball in the air or chase hopeless balls they are just what we need, Warnock style. Can't blame him wanting to go though it must be frustrating when you want the ball played to feet and not coming down on you with snow on it.

Agree with some earlier posts. BDR is a player you build a team around- thats what the Bumpkins did and look at the results- he was sensational that season.

Unfortunately, we get the ball forward really quickly either straight out to the wingers or with perhaps one or two touches on centre mid.
This means Bobby doesn't get on the ball because we don't really pass it around much in the middle.
IMO Bobby has NOT been given a fair crack considering his obvious talent. Why did we even bother blowing 11 million!??

I expect BDR to have a huge influence on getting happy clappers at SW6 promotion. He will assist loads of goals and will likely score a fair few.
Scott Parker must be laughing his tits off and be gobsmacked at our generous help with their promotion campaign!

I'm not mad at losing Bobby, I'm in the "it hasn't worked out" camp.
What I can't understand is why it's a loan to a promotion rival.
We haven't recouped the hefty fee and Fulham are now stronger.
Also, he started last week so has this only come to light since the Wigan match? Or if they knew during pre season tour why did he start?

Not angry he's gone, just a strange way to go about it.

My prediction for this season is promotion via the play-offs beating Fulham in the final where of course Bobby Reid will not be able to play :D

It's a sale but loaned for twelve months first people are saying £10Million plus?

Maybe it's the only way Fulham could get it through FFP?

Regardless he didn't want to play here and he's gone, so best all round.

Two sides to every story and all we have heard is Warnocks. Proof is in the pudding and there was certainly never any indication that Warnock was building a team around Reid, he rarely played him!! :lol:

WOW I've not wanted to comment as in Neil I trust But you have to question this .Played in the right roll hes a good player but to loan him is odd.
Seems like a waste of money from the time he walked through the door he just hasn't been given a stay in the team.
In a way I dont blame him wanting to go.
He could of just worked harder to get in the team .is it a case of he cried about it and wanted to go

Fact is we spent was it 10 m on him to loan him out.
Warnock wants a team of hard workers no matter who you are if you dont work your out nobody is untouchable sets a statement.

Dont no just trying to justify it.
