As yet I haven’t seen any of match , but epitomises what TM constantly drums home - you have to give 110% every time out to be given a place on the pitch.
As for your 10 for Reed, going back to his first game for us I ‘dared’ to suggest he reminds me quite a bit of a certain Mr P Scholes!
If he turns out to be anything at all to his calibre we have a real gem in our ranks.

Great comparison despair he is very much like that
Incredible energy and a nice shot on him too.

[Saxo1man41]

Your comparing him to P Scholes? You mean Reed is massively overrated..?

[robinrover]

A better Robbie savage then 😁

[Despair]

Maybe Champs would suggest its Mr Scholes who is overrated 😉

In all seriousness, he for me exhibits some similar traits to PS and in that I made the ‘dared’ comment.

And on another note to the gentleman who patted my bold head several times when reed scored,many thanks it's put a nice sheen on it today.

Weird. I'm sure I replied to this post earlier, Robin, but it's disappeared. No doubt, another senior moment!
I was asking about Palmer. What did you think of him? I see some people have praised his performance, but I thought he again failed to read the game well, and that he lacked composure too - although that may simply be lack of experience. Also, you don't always get the full picture on the telly.

Jay Rodrigues 10/10

[robinrover]

Alf first of all bugger off
He would get 10 for being a dirty ex dingle but that's about it
Now aucks I clean forgot to mark him
He did ok nothing more,didn't win a single ball in the air and despite willing running his attacks very often led to him giving it away.
