Reid has to start on Tuesday, he has to be motivated to do well against them.
When he is on his game he is an asset to the team, if he hadn't come out with the "gentlemans agreement" bollocks then he would have been first choice no. 11 this season and Shipley would have still been in the U23's or on loan at the Boro.
Every cloud has a silver lining then and Shipley has stepped up to the mark, all credit to him.
Seriously we need Reid at the moment with injuries/illness so let's see if he can prove himself. Thought he did quite well when he came on Saturday. Apart from that he needs to put himself in the shop window to earn a contract for next season.
