I'll be happy with 15 - Reid

Last updated : 17 October 2008 By Bigrich.....
Reuben has settled into Millers life really well, and despite featuring in some games out wide, he's happy to be wearing the shirt regularly wherever he starts.

He explained:: "The gaffer spoke to me when I first signed and he asked me what I was looking to score. I told him any striker would be happy with 15. But remember this is my first full season starting games regularly as a professional so I'd be more than happy with 15.

"I've got five goals so far. If I repeat that ratio through the rest of the season then I'll have a decent return. I've set a few up as well. At 20, I'm still young, but I believe that if you're good enough to be on the pitch, you're old enough.

"The position I'm playing on the right hand side at the moment is unfamiliar to me. I'm still learning but if I can get a few goals along the way and the team is successful then I'm happy. Generally, I'm happy with my own form. It's only going to get better."

Reid then reflected on the JPT win recently over Leeds, "I won the penalty and I would like to have taken it," he said. "The lads said Hudson was nominated beforehand, so obviously I had to back down. He scored so it's no problem to me."

Reuben then touched on the Millers away form, which has yielded only one vitcory in the league but still only a solitary defeat at Chesterfield: "All the away games in this league are going to be difficult," he said. "Anyone who knows anything about football knows that away from home you're not going to have as much of the ball and sometimes the quality of the ball into you isn't as good.

"Being away from home is an attitude thing. You don't open up as much. I was feeding off scraps at Bournemouth but, looking at the match as a whole, I think in the long run it will be a good point.

"Bournemouth came out and were on top in the first half. We were lucky to go in at half time without conceding but in the end we could have nicked it."

Ahead of the visit of Barnet tomorrow, Reid is in confident mood and has every right to be if the lads continue their unbeaten run at DVS

"It's not nice for any team coming up to play us at the moment," he concluded.
