eleven-a-side reporting that he could be going to Bolton for as little as 500,000 pounds. Could be a bargain for Bolton if he can shake the injuries:

I think there's zero chance Reid will play full back.
He played there ina friendly under Kerr (Celtic) and was mediocre. He started his Blackburn career there and was mediocre. In fact I blame this on his slow start at Blackburn - being played out of position just piled up the pressure on him in my opinion.
He actually played centre-mid last weekend anyway.
Hamstring Injury - Out for two matches
He only came on as a substitute in 80th minute last weekend. Now he's injured again. Perhaps Trap had a point about the guys future. SadQuote:

Bolton could be in the championship by then though so they need to be taking the risk now.
Loaned out to QPR. Played one game and missing for last three games (including on telly last night) due to injury. Must be a sign that his future looks bleaker than ever. Very sad.
Not to nit pick but has played 2 games and missed 2 through hamstring strain and will be back for WBA game on Monday (which is on sky). Hopefully will start given injuries to other players in the squad.Quote:

did he do anything there?
Only played a couple of games for QPR but I'd still classify him as returning from a long-term injury so willing to give him some time. We don't need him until the Euro 2012 qualifiers start anyway.Quote:

Havent been watchin them much but seen that he started the semi final against Villa during the week so just assumed that he had been a regular... anyway great to see Reidy gettin a start againQuote:

With his injury record Reid would probably fit in on the Mets 25 man roster. Well, their DL actually.
He's just been subbed no about 70 mins came off to a round of applause from the crowd and manager. 2:0 up, Andrews on for Reid.
If only we'd made the WC, looks like he would be back to his best by the summer. Sam A seems to be blending him back into the XI slowly which is a wise move considering his injury record, if he keeps this up should have no problem getting his contract renewed.Quote:

I don't think that Sam will be around for much longer. A 2-0 victory against a team with a shocking away record is nothing to go by.Quote:

Quite possible, but isn't he hated there for jumping ship? Although that would be great for reid since hughes got some great work out of him
It would be great for Reid. At the minute with Allardyce's long ball game him and Andrews are in danger of being retired with chronic neck injuries from watching the ball sail over their heads.Quote:

Looking back on it that was really hilarious. Was it Murfinator who started a thread that went on for ages about the travesty of Trap leaving out the likes of Reid. The press went in to overdrive too, it's amazing that Trap was able to keep his cool when having to face such ridiculous accusations/questions.Quote:

Gibson played well after he came on. He defended well and looked a minor threat in attack, albeit he skied his only effort from about 30 yards.
Good to see him starting a prem game. I think i noticed some booing though for Andrews when he came on and as well when he first touched the ball.
In fairness prior to that Reid did come out and say he was fully fit and available for selection and had featured in several cup games for blackburn. He's suffered setbacks since so its not exactly that he's still been recovering directly from his injury two months ago.Quote:

He was not fit. He was injured the week of the games for gods sake. How can you possibly think he could have contributed? Do you really think Trap would have left out one of his favourite players from the squad entirely if he was fit?
BTW you seem to have developed a new found interest in the national team, at least going by your posts on here. Especially for someone who started out by saying he didn't really give a toss about the team and the likes of Robbie Keane because they don't live in Ireland and make a lot of money. The definition of a fair weather supporter surely?

Off to Sheff Wednesday now on loan - with every passing day, Trap's remarks on Reid seem to be more on the money then Sam Alldardyce baffling outburst in response
Needs a run of games and Alladyce is not going to give him that at Blackburn. Irvine is a good young manager and hopefully Stephen can stay fit and get the game times needs to restart his career.
Great news. The current Irish midfield of O'Connor and Potter are not doing the business. Hopefully he can remain injury free.Quote:
