Apparently Reid had a great game for Forest today, chipping in with an assist to get Forest a vital win - http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthr...=30898&page=15
Nice cross for the second goal. The first goal by Gareth McCleary was something though, he picked the ball up and ran 3/4 the length
of the pitch to score, which also says something about Coventry who are the worst away team in the division with just 3 draws
and 7 goals out of 16 away games, that's 3 points out of a possible 48!
Another assist to McCleary to put Forest 1-0 up, if it wasn't for Reid, Forest would probably have been relegated this season.
Having a great game today for Forest against Millwall. Perhaps Trap will call him in for the euros?
I honestly think I have a better shot of getting called up by Trap.
Sure why would he take you when he could have me!Originally Posted by Colbert Report
AR set up 2 goals brilliantly there and took his goal very well.
Miles more creative than anything we have currently, but then he doesn't fit into Trap's 'modus operandi', shamefully.
He barely fits into his own shirt, shamefully.
I saw him on Goals on Sunday. Two good set piece deliveries and a great shot.
The most notable thing for me however was how his legs filled a pair of baggy shorts.
Couldn't you find a better quote than that rag? And what's his 'size' got to do with anything? If he can play, he can play...
I didn't quote anything they said. Just added some context to the photo in case anyone thought I was using an action shot of the local pub league star to embellish things.
I am however, scoffing at the notion that Trap's indifference to the ex-messiah's 'creativity' represents something shameful. Stephen McPhail and Owen Garvan can also play. A stunning 30 yard drive from either within the next couple of months and Trap's predictable starting XI in Poznan will look nothing short of diabolical!
Yeah, but that paper's a rag. Surprised you bothered with that link.
And whilst normally acknowledging your dry (& quick) humour, it is a serious point about a lack of creativity.
Don't mind people scoffing if were to sneak through and win the Euros this way, but won't so would personally rather sacrifice pragmatism for the AR's of this world.
McPhail however's, well past it and Garvan never was nor will be good enough.
Jesus, hadn't laid eyes on young Andrew for a bit. He has really let himself go. Does anyone know what his weakness is lads? Is he a beer merchant or is it the fried chicken and cake?
Reid's creativity, overstated as I believe it is and has been, has about as much merit for inclusion in the team as Ian Harte's set-piece ability. We could do with one of them and all. However anything either of those players might bring is offset and then some by what they don't, imo.
I think Andy is just unfortunate in that he has a very short neck which has the effect of making him look more barrel chested than he really is.
I'd be interested to see the effect if someone photo shopped that and stretched his neck little, I think he should look pretty athletic.

Would that explain the barrel chin as well??
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Yes the chin would disappear as the neck is stretched.
He's certainly a lump alright. Just imagine him (literally) bulldozing through that limp-wristed Spanish midfield...
Athletic ability is not everything, there are plenty of athletes who are rubbish at football,
Andy does not rally rely on athletic ability for his game, he could never play Shane Long's
role but them I doubt Shane could deliver as many quality crosses.
Horses for courses.
I don't know, I had a quick scan of Google Images for him there now and it would strongly suggest the matter extends well beyond his neck. Built, shall we say. Built.
