There are times when he shows a total disinterest in the game, I am not even convinced he totally likes the game. When we score he is more often than not the last to congratulate the scorer if off course it wasn't him. Yesterday his football brain was in full switched on mode, not only did he grab a couple and not miss any obvious ones like at Bath. Something small yesterday when Keating was doing something with his boots and oxford were clearing their lines he was switched on enough to sprint back and cover Keatings responsibility, something I have never seen in his game before. I do not agree with the comment that Reid may wont away because he has received abuse in the past, really, even the gentile surroundings of the family stand where I sit you ought to hear the abuse some players get when they are having an off day. As a goal scorer in this league he in undoubtedly prolific, In the national league with his confidence up maybe, in division two, just possibly. Anything higher not a chance. Look at Andrews and Lemonheigh, give them three years undoubtedly they will be in the top of the championship and maybe the premier where they will undoubtedly meet and play against Janneh who is a natural goal scorer. If he wont's more money offload him to Billericay. If a scout saw him yesterday they would recommend him as a good punt, if they saw him at Bath they would keep their purse well and truly padlocked.

If he does go a big concern is that Reid, Janneh and Andrews, our three leading scorers, have scored 36 league goals between them. I can't see the Bristol lads being here next season. It is going to be a hell of job getting replacements for these players.
