Reids 5 goals last season was his 2nd best return.
Glad we are getting our money back.
Bobby Reid has started the last 9 of 11 games for Fulham.
In midfield.
According to the fella in my office who is a regular down there, he’s often one of the best 3 players in their team.
He blames others for some of their bad results.
Scraping the barrel trying to remember really, but I'd probably go Brighton home win, thought we played well and last minute winner, Leicester away 1 nil, late winner. And probably Brighton away as I genuinely thought after that we had a chance to stay up. Could replace one with the Man U win but we were down, the team played with a freedom they didn't have previously and United were just awful.
Thought Reid in that game looked decent, and as I type this probably the Bournemouth home game also. Clearly he's not a bad player, I just don't think for the money we paid, he or Murphy did enough. There were other matches where I just felt he looked far too light weight and yea doesn't suit a team where his time on the ball would be at a premium.
If someone doesn't want to be here, for whatever reason, then they shouldn't be. He's a Bristol lad I believe, only reason he came was for the premier league opportunity, back in the Championship it may be that whoever is our manager he wouldn't be bothered about coming back anyway.
Reid came on as a sub against Brighton, same at Leicester, so he was on the pitch when both late winners were scored.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the 4-2 victory over Fulham in which Reid played the full 90 minutes and scored. As you know, he scored both goals in the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth. From what I saw, while the system didn't really suit him he was under-used last season. I thought he looked one of the better players on the ball. Murphy has talent but he's hopelessly inconsistent and often flatters to deceive. He was definitely a waste of money as it stands, although maybe a new manager will galvanise him.
As for Reid, the ship has obviously sailed. Shame as I think he could have done well here under the right circumstances and he's reportedly doing alright at Fulham despite not scoring yet.
The loan was just a way of Fulham getting around the FFP surely? They are committed to buy at end of the season.
