He bagged 13 at the end of last season in his last nine appearances in a final total of 22.
Ahead of tonight's Carling Cup third-round clash with Manchester United at Elland Road, Reid told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "When the chance fell to him on Saturday (at Liverpool), I was right behind him and I thought 'goal', but at least he has hit the target.
"The only way forward for him is to keep working hard and keep playing because he's too good a striker.
"Fortunately for me he went on a run last year and scored goals. He is that type of striker and hopefully it will come again sooner rather than later.''
