reid is obviously struggling with his fitness. came off after 30 mins on sat presumably injured and has only featured in two other games one of which was as a sub. also, he was desperate and grossly overweight against chileQuote:

Did I miss something?
I see Gerry McDermott from the Indo is the FAI's new Press Officer. Maybe this'll help improve communication.
what does this tell you bout the impartiality of the indo during the previous managers reign???? delaney wants kerr out - independent slates him - independent sports writer gets job from delaney.Quote:

Reid failed as a winger at Spurs. He impressed me with his passing and off the ball work last season when he was a regular in the team (up until about October). He's a central midfielder imo.Quote:

McDermott was really annoyed about this.Quote:

Very strange decision if McDermott is the new press officer.
Yeah its a very suspicious appointment. Dont expect any criticism of the the FAI in the indo anytime soon....
Andy Reid looked pretty poor for charlton on sat before he came off. altho I like him and think he offers a bit more than Kevin Kilbane,John O Shea or Lee " charm offensive" Carsley.
Reid needs a lot of fitness work, he hardly figured in Spurs pre-season and was shipped out just before the season started from the litle I've seen of Charlton so far he needs to lose weight and get himself in shape big time.
Talent-wise he has the edge over all our other midfielders with the exception of Duff & possibly McGeady. Attitude & application is where the problem lies
to be honest his passing was way off....thats what I was gettin at....as for his weight I think he just needs to play for a team that wears all black or stripes....:)
Very good article. Hopefully someone gave a copy of it to Staunton.
