My enquiry was made in the hope that there would be some positive news re possible return. OK after his injury he was not the force he was before, but a fully recovered and fit Reuben has to be what we want. Then let them fight to earn selection.

I wouldn't waste your time debating with him on the subject of RR.
To Frank he is useless and lazy, the fact the he is the first Argyle player in years to score back to back 20 goals a season is irrelevant, as is the fact the if we were to sell our entire playing staff, he would be the one that commanded the biggest transfer fee - thus as a business our biggest asset. Neither will it make a blind bit of difference if he scores 20+ this year.
RR isn't perfect, i dont think anyone suggested he was, but if you dont have the ability to see the positives that having RR on the playing staff has, then you probably need to ask the club for a seat that faces the pitch this year.

each to their own opinion. I've never rated him.....my opinion I just think that we defend better with a running strikerVoice_of_Reason":3gzf69ew said:
For those who want a reminder of how fat, lazy and useless RR is, last season's league goals table looks like:
Not bad given he was carrying an injury for the last few months.
Code:
Player Club Goals
Matt Tubbs AFC Wimbledon/Portsmouth 21
Jamie Cureton Dagenham & Redbridge 19
Reuben Reid Plymouth Argyle 18
Marc Richards Northampton Town 18
James Collins Shrewsbury Town 15
Tom Nichols Exeter City 15
Barry Corr Southend United 14
Danny Hylton Oxford United 14
Jed Wallace Portsmouth 14
A. Akinfenwa AFC Wimbledon 13
Mark Cullen Luton Town 13Not bad given he was carrying an injury for the last few months.
So in a side that was made up of 3 centre backs, two wing backs (one of who played centre back), 3 central midfielders of which at least two were classed as defensive players (of which one again is a recognised centre back) - you were looking for greater defensive responsibility for our one out and out attacking player?
Yes. All great teams defend from the front. Can't you see that the reason we played so deeply was because the forwards weren't worrying our opponents' back four allowing them to bring the ball out unopposed
I never saw RR duck out of running back until he was injured.
He played way past when he should have (Exeter away was his last good game IMHO).
Any manager that was not 'risk averse' would have played Brunt up front for the majority of the games from then.
We're now paying for that, and many of us can look forward to seeing Reuben fresh again, whenever he is ready.

i hope the lad has a great season, but if we're going to play ŵith pacy wingers I can see Jervis and Brunt starting......IJN":2u9dqvod said:
