I think some people would cut off their nose to spite their face. If Robins thinks he will improve the team or the squad by Picked then I wouldn’t have any objection to that. The club are paying his wages so might as well get some benefit from him. He would certainly want to put himself in the shop window for the summer. It might be said he is doing this for himself. However if he is playing well it can’t help but improve the team’s chances. Imagine if he was the difference between getting promotion or missing out? I would think that Robins will only play him if he thinks he will increase our chances of winning. If he doesn’t think this then Reid won’t play. I would be happy to go along with Robins’ decision.
Very sensible
I saw most games last season. In the games under TM in the early part of the season Reid was brave in the face of repeated fouling and intimidation in some games but seemed to go missing in others. We then had a chaotic period when TM left and the next two managers made wholesale changes.
Once Robins came in he had a plan which led to us winning at Wembley but it was too late to turn things round in the League
Reid did well at Wembley
I watched the DVD recently and was reminded how often he took pressure off us by carrying the ball forward and drawing fouls or panicky clearances for throw-ins when Oxford were on top
Unfortunately things went wrong in pre-season this year and Reid did himself no favours
Robins hasn't been wrong about much so far and I back him in whatever he decides to do now
I suspect Robins will keep him hungry
