Bantams winger Reid keen to show he's the daddy with first home goal (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Reid and Daley could be twins! Not in the looks department, but in the inconsistency department.

Both are excellent on their day, but imo Reid has more bad days than Daley. I have no idea why Reid gets less stick than Daley did.

Daley would get the ball, run and cross. Or he would get the ball, run, cut inside and shoot.

Reid will get the ball and sometimes do the same as Daley, but a lot of the time he will stop, try and be too clever with his tricks and lose the ball.

That is why I think Daley just edges Reid on a good day.

On a bad day they're both as bad as each other, and both would look like they can't be bothered.

I would have loved to have seen them play together this year with Reid on the left and Daley on the right. I wonder if the could've changed our season.

Morning Danstarr. Surely the thing that you shouldn't be able to comprehend is why any player, playing in claret and amber gets anything other than encouragement and then there's that much abused , word support, from City fans.. Serious questions have to be asked of any so called supporters who give our players stick in the form of abuse and ridicule, whilst the game is under way. Then look the word fan uf and you'll find it derives from fanatic. For Bradford City to get out this hell hole of a division, we don't need fanatical abusers we need fanatical supporters. Supporters that lift players when they have made mistakes or are not playing so well. Those people who dish it out, look the word up, Support. We need support for 90 mins, when we're winning, yes but even more so when we are not! Such true quality support is the cement that could hold Fortress Valley Parade together, enabling us to make the most of our assets, large ground, our fans and a hard working team. Abusers of City players are as much a part of the equation that keeps us in this division as any manager or under achieving player.

Danstarr69, I'm worried for you... Reid is in a different league to Daley.

Eh?

Wingers are known for been inconsistent, however Reid doesn’t really suffer from that as far as i can see, he’s been good to great more often than not and is certainly more consistent than Daley. Sure he’s had a couple of poor games but all players do. I liked Daley and he was a great player on his day, but his day was much fewer and far between than Reid's!

reid is a fab player on his day ,just hope he doesnt try too hard to score as it wont happen as we have seen a few times this season same as nakhi when you try so hard it doesnt happen for you so i hope they both just go out and enjoy the game and it will happen for them i sure it will.

Imo Reid has had about 40% average/rubbish games. I think people think he's better than he is because he is our only form of attack most games.

How often do his crosses come off? How often does he stop when he has space in front to try and be clever with skill, instead of doing a quick attack? A lot if you ask me.

1st thing Daley did when he got the ball was run. Reid needs to do the same, and run when there's space instead of giving opposition defenders time to get back. He also needs to work on his crossing...its better than Fagans, but they go high alot.

PS how did Reid get MOM about 3 or 4 home games ago when most people think he didn't deserve it?

You are a terrible excuse for a fan Danstarr.

Wingers are inconsistent at this level as its the flippin' 4th division. You'll never see a consistent match winning winner at this level and if one emerges he'll be off higher...

I'm not saying he's crap, I'm saying he's been very good but not excellent imo.

If I'm the only person who thinks this way, why do I hear people shouting for Reid to run when he decides to stall on a counter attack?

He needs to take advantage when defenders are tracking back, and run.

Mr Gardecki, although I don't agree with all of the post, I do understand where you are coming from. I have often commented that Reid will pick up the ball, start running at the full-back, check his run and before he knows it, he is getting closed down by two players instead of one. I would love to see him taking on the full-back more often (first time), especially as he states he has confidence to beat his man.
.
Perhaps he just isn't as fast or skillful as Daley and this is why he often checks his runs?
.
The one attribute that he beats Daley hands-down at is his defensive duties. You say both often 'look like they can't be bothered', but I just can't agree that Reid doesn't put the effort in.
.
I would have liked to have seen us try to develop Compton to play on the opposite flank or even play Devitt there more often (instead of giving him a free-role). That way, with two wingers causing problems, it makes it harder for teams to 'double or treble' up on Reid.

His crosses dont come off as often as they should for a few reasons, and many of them are beyond his control. He often puts the ball in the right are and players are not in the correct positions to be a threat.

So often he gets the ball in the right area and no one has attacked across the near post to add a touch (we hardly ever attack the front post). Someone like Peter Thorne would of loved having reid out on the left.

Sometimes Hanson doesn't go round the back post.

and we never have the right winger coming into the box to attack the back post ever. we never have a center midfeilder breaking into the box if Syers isnt playing.

More often than not in our team Reid only has Hanson to aim at.

I really rate tRied and at this level i doubt there is a better left winger in the league, my only critism of him would be some times he crosses a little early instead of beating his full back and going for the byline.

Your way off the mark Reid has a lot more to his game than Daley he also puts far more effort in. When things didn't go right for Daley he went missing. Reid tracks back as well as attack you'll be hard pressed to find too many agreeing with you on this one.

I'm with Nickloza; cannot believe that anyone would put Daley in the same bracket as Reid.

Daleys better days were better than Reids best but for constant level of performance Reid wins every time.
