I liked what I saw of Smalley, worked like Lewi, just never got his chance. Now you mention it he feels like the midpoint between Reubs and Lewi. His return will be a huge boost

Reid's game is not based off chasing lost causes. He needs to save himself for those little bursts of pace and power. He's built like a sprinter not a marathon runner - you wouldn't get Usain Bolt running the steeplechase would you? If he runs after too many lost causes he'll lose that power. It's not that he's lazy it's that he's smart.
Reid is a very good player when he's fit. Brunt's okay but he's not a patch on a fit Reid, at all.

Exactly this.
^^ idiotic comment, 41 goals in the last two seasons from a player that rarely sprints give me that over an industrious runner that gets 5 a season any day.dayriderBusking":3sdnfyhc said:PAFC94":3sdnfyhc said:MannameadGreen":3sdnfyhc said:Reid was carrying an injury the whole second half of the season.

I agree with this up until the point that you barely see him sprint.

Not for a while I hope......look at Brunt and Ansah at Shrewsbury......end ofgreenwelly":lp18uitv said:Pre-season now upon us. Reuban to miss start. Anybody got any news as to where he currently is in terms of rehab & when he is hoping to be back?
Look at Reuben's goal tally when he isn't playing with almost a broken foot.Knarf Reprah":fdk4v596 said:Not for a while I hope......look at Brunt and Ansah at Shrewsbury......end ofgreenwelly":fdk4v596 said:Pre-season now upon us.
