It's the coke and rent boys putting him offExactly. So why isnt he focused !!!
Are you for real? I said this at the time, our fans wouldn't know a decent player if it hit them in the face. How about this.... Murphy's dip in form coincided with the whole team playing poorly. Murphy for half a season was the best player in the division. The whole team dipped, he was a part of this but not the cause.

To be fair he started the season on fire... scoring goals, makng assists, running defences ragged. Talented flair players like that have dips & they frustrate because they don't work as hard off the ball as we'd like in league 1 / 2 , we get on their back & for a young lad it got to him I think
Had he been in the championship or premier league he would have been cut more flack& been appreciated for what he does well... like a deli Ali type, and I'm sure would have / and will do , continue to thrive
If anything I think we overplayed him around January. Needed two or three games on the bench. Firstly so he could recharge the batteries and secondly refocus.
Yes, i'm for real. Your blinkers just prove that it isn't even worth furthering this debate.
Best player in the division for five games. One of the worst (certainly in our team) for around 25. Keep telling yourself otherwise.
Might as well play bilal sayoud or dev Kelly-Evans on the left? But i guess they wont be given a chance, funny old game.
Devon Kelly-Evans played against Barnsley and did well.

I'm in two minds about keeping Reid on. He's clearly not only a frustrating player on the pitch, but off it as well. When on his game he could be one of the best wingers in this league. However, when off it, we're better off playing with 10 men. Reid is a player that needs to play in a good team, hence why he looked continuously disheartened last season. His mentality is almost lazy. He shys away when relied upon week after week to perform when others are not doing the same. In many ways his situation was similar to Jacob Murphy; from a fans perspective it'd appear that he'd almost choose as and when to perform.
However, I personally think he has a lot of quality, he just needs the right manager to bring that out of him week after week. Is Robins that manager? Time will tell if Reid makes the decision to stay on board. Robins likes to make his job as easy as possible by employing players that have a 'can do' attitude. Hardly an illogical philosophy but it could come at a price. Flair players are integral to a quality side, and require the ability to be given the freedom to express themselves on the pitch. If Robins gave Reid this treatment, taking a calculated risk on him could potentially pay off in the long run.
We have a chance of playing well this season. This will give confidence. Confidence players should do well.Agree with what you've said and think you're pretty much bang on in your general analysis.
The only thing I would argue differently is that I think he shouldn't be given another chance. Last season was costly enough.
You are joking right? He wasn't even the best player in the city team for half a season, never mind the divisionAre you for real?

1 goal in his first 16 games
Then he had his hot spell where he scored 6 in 3 games
Then 3 goals on his final 23 games
Thing is though, Reid was apparently on decent Wages for League 1 so do we want him sat about in a mood in league 2 collecting a decent wedge?
Wage is another con of him staying. I can imagine we could potentially recoup a loan and a free agent on his salary.
Exactly, could replace him with 2 players who will both be a consistent 7/10 rather than a 1/10 most games and then 10/10 for 2 games a season.

Yes, decent return for an attacking midfielder.Which = 10 goals. Pretty good return for a midfielder wouldn't you say?
