Reid's assist for the equaliser was perfection.
The enigma that is Andy Reid. Never made it in the Premiership for Spurs and Sunderland but has excelled for Forest in both spells. Why I am not sure - perhaps lacking the required pace or physicality despite his corpulent frame. He's 31 now and nearing the end of his career which should have delivered much more I think.
Saw the game last night and two of his crosses for goals were excellent. He was once again man of the match. Other interest in that game was Cox came on as a sub and scored two goals and Sean Murray playing for Watford.
He was class at Sunderland.

Reid's assists and Cox's goals here.
A radar light foot or a radar left foot?Quote:

10 assists and 8 goals so far this season

Another week, another assist for Andy Reid. His terrific set-piece delivery on show again as Jamaal Lascelles meets his free-kick from close range.
Blackpool 0-1 Forest
Looks like they've consolidated a Playoff place at the very least. Now it's just a question of who goes up with Leicester; QPR, Burnley, Forest or Derby?
And another week and another assist for Andy Reid. It's getting a bit boring at this stage.Quote:

Of making the semi final, could get another good draw after that and make the final.
However United have equalised. Reid almost flicked a free kick in, don't think he has got any slimmer ;)
Forest have imploded. 3-1 now.
Andy Reid just converted a penalty putting Forest 2-1 up against top of the table Leicester.
I should not really comment though as it normally goes pear shaped for any team I follow shortly
after. However having said that, Leicester have just had a man sent off.
Will be just typical for me if they still go on to win with 10 men!! (about 30 mins left).
Charlie's comment above just typifies what can happen at Forest!!
Hard to see Leicester coming back with Paul "Hairdo" Konchesky having walked.

Andy is out for approximately 4 weeks.

up to 6 weeks
Looks like Andy Reid's enforced absence is going to coincide with Forest losing their grasp on a Playoff place.
They lost again today and there are 3 or 4 teams breathing down their neck with less games played.
Yep Forest seem to have imploded since his injury, joint worst team in the league, relegation form.
Hard to see them getting play off place, it's like watching a horse you backed fading into the pack
you just no he ain't coming back.
Looks like Reid is back,
- 31 Cox (Derbyshire - 78' )
- 21 Paterson (Reid - 71' )
- 39 Abdoun (Henderson - 78' )
Came on as sub and Forest scored 9 minutes later, meaning Forest didn't lose, it would have been the 4th
match in a row they lost without him.
So he seems to have a considerable positive effect on Forest.
Indeed he provide the cross for the goal.
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27048149
"Nottingham Forest have lost only four of the 32 Championship games in which midfield play-maker Reid has figured. They have lost seven of the 10 in which the influential Irishman has not."
Yes I think I mentioned similar before, if he can do that for Forest surely he can have a similar effect Ireland.Quote:

Ruled out for "the rest of the season" but this seems to only mean their league games. Forest are currently 1-0 up at home to lowly Birmingham while Ipswich are losing, and if the scores stay the same they'll be three points from the playoffs with three to play. I wonder if Reid could make it back if they qualify?

Following the announcement I am likely to miss the rest of the season with a calf injury, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the Nottingham Forest fans for their support this season.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am to have picked up another injury. It’s been a very frustrating period for me but thankfully it isn’t serious and I’ll be ready to go again next season.
As I highlight in today’s programme, our focus today rests solely on putting in a performance our supporters can be proud of. It is up to us to give them something to shout about because we are in the middle of a difficult run. It’s tough for us all, but when the team and crowd work together The City Ground is a tremendously difficult place for any side to come to.
Please join me in giving Gary Brazil and the players plenty of support today and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2014-15.

The commentator just said he'll miss the playoffs also should Forest get there. They've just gone one up through Derbyshire after a couple of minutes at Leeds.

Andy Reid made the Championship Team of the Season.
Glowing article about Reid, even loved the tentative comparison to Pirlo. Hopefully, MONROY give him opportunities in the upcoming Euro qualifiers, at least to lead the singsongs!
http://seatpitch.co.uk/2014/08/12/im...8Seat+Pitch%29
Eirebhoy often made the Pirlo comparison a few years back!
He is the heartbeat of that Forest side. Well, he was last season. Their fortunes coincided with his. Seeing him pull the strings last December was a joy.
Did Reid figure in one of MON's early games? I have a vague recollection of him playing some part late on against Latvia.
I'd love to see him being instrumental in this campaign.
He played the second half against Latvia and was presumably going to start the Poland game before injuring himself. I don't think he's been fit for a squad since.
Interesting, sounds a bit like John Robertson, also a left winger with a bit of a weight problem, an inch and a half taller than Reid's 5'7", back in Brian Clough's days the saying was "Stop Robbo and you stop Forest", although that was easier said than done.Quote:

Also note the comparison to gifted Italians, in Clough's humorously 'unflattering' description of Robretson here which matches the comparison of Reid to Pirlo in the article!!
Also worth noting that Pirlo was born 11 days before Forest won their first European Cup, in which John Roberton played (Martin O Neil was on the bench)Quote:
Brian Clough, Robertson's manager at Nottingham Forest, was quoted as saying "John Robertson was a very unattractive young man. If one day, I felt a bit off colour, I would sit next to him. I was bloody Errol Flynn in comparison. But give him a ball and a yard of grass, and he was an artist, the Picasso of our game."[1] In his autobiography Clough noted that "Rarely could there have been a more unlikely looking professional athlete... [He was a] scruffy, unfit, uninterested waste of time...but something told me he was worth persevering with." but that "[He] became one of the finest deliverers of a football I have ever seen – in Britain or anywhere else in the world – as fine as the Brazilians or the supremely gifted Italians."
Robertson score in the same cup final the next year.
Note that Reid has the same 'stocky' build at 0.26

Also note Martin O Neil the no 7 at 0.16!!
Note all English Scottish or NI players, not the multi-national sides we see there days.
Going further off topic, another vidoe here

Interesting to see how thing have changed, the state of the pitch, the ground, the dug outs, the crowds, the lack of replica shirts etc..
It all seems so different these days, immaculate grounds, all seated, polite applause etc...
Great post Tricky.
Funny, the roof (of Tunnel?) with the piece broken off of it at about 2:13.
The corrugated plastic? I think Cloughie banged his big head on it!!!
I was disappointed in his performance against Wednesday today but he may have been carrying an injury as I read elsewhere he's withdrawn from our squad.
