    The Reid of a couple of years ago maybe but not the recent Reid.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Reid will struggle to get back in imo, unless we have a CB injury crisis....

    Personally don’t think he is on the same level as Diop or the General, I’d even put Ogbonna ahead of him as well

    Interesting piece about AC, I’ve always maintained that footballers hate being injured the rehab can be so tough
  • LukerzLukerz
    TBH an in-form Reid is far better than what I have seen so far of Diop or Balbuena, IMO.
  • alderzalderz
    In-form Reid pre-injuries maybe. But his last few comebacks haven't been great and he's looked a shadow. I love him, but he's not the future for us by any stretch of the imagination.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Diop and Balbuena will improve they only played less than half a season so far Diop especially I can see improving
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    It’s not the two new centre backs I worry about, and zab is steady again it’s the left side needs improvement, Rocky and diop imo have got better every game and would be my first pairing now and for the future

    Well it must just be me then cos all I saw Diop do Saturday was mark fresh air. Mind you he's a good striker that fresh air bloke. ;wink No, tell a lie, he did make one really good headed clearance that I can remember.

    Both of our CB’s are decent but let’s not pretend they are brilliant. They leave players unmarked on a regular basis. I would have Reid back in there any day if he recovers from injury and gets some consistency in fitness back.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    I believe diop in time will be a regular international he’s only young as for rocky imo will be better than Reid as of late pre injury who again imo his standards dropped pretty much as soon as his new 5/6 contract came in
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Diop's going to turn into a massive transfer fee as hes only going to get better, enjoy him while you can

    It’s been a long time since Reid has been consistently good. He’s been either injured or poor for most of the last two or three seasons, as far as I can remember.

    Considering Diop is 21 and both he and Balbuena have been playing in this league for three months, have never played together, and play in a side that’s much more concerned with attacking than defending, I think you’re doing them both a massive disservice.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Balbuena out for at least a month according to Claret & Hugh.

    Perfect

    The west ham curse strikes again

    Thankfully unlike previous years we have a replacement in Ogbonna who isn't much of a dip off in quality

    Really a testament to our current squad depth that with all these injuries we are doing as well as we are
  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Thought Ogbonna did well when he came on.
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Anyone else wince through every second of that? ;hmm
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Surprise, surprise, we're top of the Physioroom injury list with 10, although Arnie,, Hernandez and Zabaleta all listed as "Late fitness test" for Burnley.

    No return date for Rocky, Manu, Fredericks or Wilshere, end of January for Reid, and late April for Yarmolenko and Sanchez.

    OCS
    It was his dyed blond hair that made me wince. ;biggrin
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Cant wait for my favourite player to return ;pray
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    Hernandez is out, Arnie will be assessed but probably won’t be risked.

    Perez and a bit of AC and Antonio then
  • stevesteve
    ;weep when will it all end .will we ever put out our best 11
  • stevesteve
    ;hmm perhaps that's why we are winning ,if we don't know what team we are going to play ,how on earth can anyone else know ;scarf

    Saw a post on another forum from someone with inside knowledge at the club that Winston Reid'a injury is so severe that he may never play first team football again. Very sad if true.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    It's an issue with his back.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    www.football.london reckons Fredericks and Hernandez will return to training this week.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Wasn’t it Reid’s knee originally?
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    All stems from his back injury apparently Cuz. Sakho had a similar thing. It causes hamstring problems, which can cause knee and calf problems.

    I'd be surprised if we saw Reid in the claret and blue again.
