Agree with most of this - although I think this is the first time M Phillips has ever played as a striker in his career - as far as I'm aware he's always been a winger/wing back, but he has made a big positive difference.
Definitely agree on Reid - he's got a decent scoring record this season, but he misses a lot of big chances and his inability to hold the ball up really hinders us. He's a very strange forward - I think we're all grateful to have someone scoring 15 goals, but he does seem to require quite specific formations/tactics to be successful. He also seems to suffer from drops in confidence easily, which shouldn't be the case for a L1 (and international) forward.
I would be perfectly happy with a finisher who offers little else, but I don't think that would work in our system, where everyone has to contribute defensively. It's a tricky one - and the chances of us finding a diamond in the rough - and beating better funded teams to their signing - are pretty low, so we will probably have to make do with what we have.
Thought we played well last night, and started far more assertively and attacking than I expected, but Plymouth are a good side, and we can't win them all!
