The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I don't know if anyone noticed but James Reid has signed for Lincoln on non-contract terms. Good luck to the boy I say - didn't do it in the rough and tumble of the Conf but no doubt will go far as he definately had ability.

Wouldn't be unhappy for him to have signed for us and then loaned out. A good little player but needs experience and mentoring. Doubt he would have wanted to do that, but the current coaching staff, if it is JE or someone else or a combination, seem to be very good at improving players, and it wouldn't take a lot for Reid to become a decent player on what I've seen of him.

If it doesn't work out for him there then he would definately be worth a look at a later stage.

Agreed, and funnily enough, i think he may do better in the league where it will be a little less physical. Good luck to the lad, and maybe we could take him next year?!
