Reid hails Bruce influence

Mon, 02 Nov 11:46:20 2009

Andy Reid praised Sunderland boss Steve Bruce for making Saturday's thrilling fightback against West Ham a possibility.

The Black Cats went 2-0 down and, after Reid's superb free-kick reduced the deficit, Kenwyne Jones was sent off just before half-time.

Sunderland were still the better side in the second half and secured a point through Kieran Richardson.

"We owed the gaffer a performance on Saturday after the way we played at Birmingham," Reid told the Sunderland Echo.

"Last season, never mind 2-0 down, if we'd gone 1-0 down I don't think we would have come back. That was the mentality around the place.

"The new manager has given us a new lease of life. He's been brilliant. He's been straight, he's been fair. At times he's been fun and at times he's been hard. All the things a manager needs."

    cant agree with you at all on this one Reid is a­ class player and will only get better, he is so at­ ease on the ball and has the skill and knowledge to­ take on opponents and score goals asan end product.
    ­ However, we do agree on one thing Reid is palying well­ and your admission of the fact is as good as you saying­ you would have him in your team cos yo know you would

    Reid may be playing good at the moment but the­ minute he has a bad or upsetting day - family­ bereavement for example - we all know he'll seek­ solace in the arms of an extra large mixed kebab with a­ side order of fries and onion rings. Before you know it­ he'll be 18 stone again, and lets see how quick he­ gets round the pitch then........
