Reid was uncertain when his manager, Lee Johnson, switched him from midfield to a striking role last summer but he could end the season with the Championship’s golden bootAs Bobby Reid says, this season everything has clicked. A quick glance at his numbers tells you as much: 21 goals and counting, almost twice as many as he mustered across his first seven years as a professional. What has changed?

I hit the ground running and look where I am now.” Related: Lee Johnson puts Bristol City back on map and plots Premier League course | Ben Fisher Bob would be the first with the ball, he would play all night, him and his mates still playing in the road walking home Continue readingreadfullarticle
