Bobby Reid situation

Wed Jan 09, 2019 1:09 pm

I don't know about everyone else but it is plain for me to see we are not utilising Bobby Reid to his true potential. Callum patterson wins everything upfront and just needs someone to play off him....Bobby reid!!!!

He was top scorer last season because he is a poacher. He rarely creates his own chances...but give him the ball near goal and he will tap in. Callum wins everything with 2/3 players around him a lot of games just with no one to pass to. I know Bobby can score plenty if he is used like this

its an odd signing as Warnock if in doubt will go for physical players which Reid isn't. For me his only position in how we play is the number 10 role which he did to good effect against Fulham but then we have Camaras and Patterson who can play that role as well.

It won't just happen in one game. It needs to be regular

I'd swap him for Maupay if I had it my way

Thought Paterson played wide and Reid up front in that game. :bluescarf:

No. I was there and Patterson was certainly up front or pheraps just behind Reid with Reid further up. Mainly so if Patterson wins it he can send Reid through. But didn’t work for many reasons, one reason being Gillinghams defensive line was very deep and they were very well organised. As soon as we start playing that way in the premier league, it will take the opposite manager 30 seconds to tell his defensive line to sit deeper.
