Hurrah for the left winger!

Phil Parkinson has a good track record of bringing in players to fill the positions most needed. He has done it again today with the loan signing until the end of the season of Kyel Reid (note his first name is not mispelt here) from Sheffield United. Reid is being described as an "out and out left winger" which I assume will mean he is left footed and doesn't wander more than five yards from the left-hand touchline. I will also assume for now he is quite fast, has a few tricks and can cross the ball. 


Wikipedia tells us that we will be the seventh club he has turned out for,  although only West Ham and Sheffield United have been permanent moves. With a total of little over 50 first team appearances to his name, perhaps we shouldn't expect too much but he is only 22 and has a string of England U17, U18 and U19 caps to his credit. He is another south London lad and joins Burton, McKenzie and the Sodje brothers with the distinction of having been brought back "home" by Parky.


I am sure we will see him tomorrow if he's match fit. Let us hope he does better than some of our more recent January loan signings.
