niceandfriendly Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 With Schneiderlin out, could Harrison Reed come in? I didn't see the Barnsley or Sunderland games, so forgive me I'm not exactly sure if he is ready or the right sort of player to replace Morgan. Could he do it and fit into the team just as JWP did? Probably? I'm sure Poch and Cortese would be very keen to get another academy player in the first team, and at home to Villa might be a good time to introduce him? Or is all this winter sun going to my head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 No chance ahead of Davis or Cork. Bench though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 Of course he is ready. That is why he has been part of the squad for several games this season. But Morgan being injured does not mean we have to throw him in just yet. We have bags of experience for that posistion in JWP, Davis and Cork. Hell, even Lallana can do a good job there. Cork is the natural replacement but Davis has performed well each time he's been called on so far this season. JWP or Lallana playing there would leave a more serious create gap behind the lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 4 December, 2013 Author Share Posted 4 December, 2013 Looking forward very much to seeing Corky back in the team if Reed isn't there yet, but with little game time recently I'd guess he won't start. Sorry this all should've just been in the Villa build up thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifter Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 >>Needs to get to 70 on fifa before I consider him for my team. Agreed. Also disappointed to see Omar Rowe's rating of 57 hampering his chances for a first team call-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 Who cares if he is ready? We are unlikely to make euro qualification this season, and we aren't getting relegated (that is for damn sure!) so lets get these kids in and blood them as much as possible, yes we may lose some games, but f**k it, its a wasted season for me if we A.) don't get europe, or, B.) Don't blood the youngsters.... needs to be one or t'other frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 well logic says NO, but I was thinking the same thing......so I won't be totally surprised if he starts but it's more likely that he'll come on as a late sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano6 Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 So what you're saying is you'd be happy finishing 17th if we played a few youngsters here and there? While nobody wants us to finish 17th, Saint86 makes a good point - if we don't make Europa qualification then it doesn't really matter where we fall between 8th-17th (save for a few quid for league placings which is not that significant in the scheme of things). So blooding youngsters could bode well for us in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncanRG Posted 4 December, 2013 Share Posted 4 December, 2013 (edited) Official twitter just posted a picture of Reed making a tackle, reckon he's nailed on start. I don't think the media team know the team selection that far in advance! Reed's looked promising in the League Cup games but it's a tough position and he's hardly had any minutes in the Premier League. I'd expect a few run-outs from the bench (possibly tonight/as long as Morgan's out) before he's in contention to start.

Windows:rolleyes: Exactly why Poch is boss and I am his able aide from the stands;) AND why I am doing care in the community for failed footer experts like your goodself. Poch knows best..........when and where:) Just the way Reed ran onto the pitch...anyone could see he was a footballer and ready to go:D COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 8 December, 2013 Share Posted 8 December, 2013 I was very impressed with him up at Sunderland, I quite fancy the idea of him being eased into the team in the latter stages as SD understudy, take off a Jack Russell of a midfielder and replace him with another Jack Russell except this one is on Speed and wired into the mains! His brief cameo showed he has no fear against " the bigger boys" and his little burst of acceleration he showed yesterday had folks sat around me getting a bit excited.
