    Reeves is this season's Mark Gower in my view.

    A once good crocked veteran who managed to con our medical staff for one more payday.

    Watching on the stream I thought he did well on Saturday until it came to his finishing. More to come from him if he can stay fit.

    I thought Blackburn were poor. One of the worse teams I've seen this season. I'm assuming they're normally much better than that. If not, there's no reason why we shouldn't finish above them.
  • “I’m getting fitter every week,” he explained.

    “It’s been really disappointing for me not to be able to hit the ground running. It’s just something I’ve got to accept now that that didn’t happen. I can’t look back and do anything different. I do everything I can to be fit every week. It wasn’t meant to be at the start for me unfortunately but hopefully now I can just kick on again. The most important thing is just to be involved and hopefully get the results that we need and I’ll do as much as I can to make that happen.”

    Reeves was just one in a number of injured players who have had to suffer lay-offs this campaign, with the likes of Tariqe Fosu, Jason Pearce, Patrick Bauer, Mark Marshall and now Ricky Holmes all having spells on the side-lines.

    Reeves, who worked together before with the now-Charlton boss Karl Robinson during their times at Milton Keynes, admits that he’s never seen it this bad at any of his former clubs.

    “I don’t think I have,” he said.

    “Especially the positions it seems to be happening in – it’s the same positions it keeps happening in. We’ve just got to deal with it. Fortunately, we have got good players to back it up and it just shows how good we can be when we’re all going to be fit.

    “It’s been frustrating for all the boys this year because it’s not just one or two that’s been out, it’s four or five. It’s just something we’ve had to deal with. Hopefully after this spell we’ll get a few more back and that’s it, hopefully we can keep a fit squad for the rest of the season. You always have one or two in or out but hopefully we’ve had our bad luck at the start of the season and we can all be fit for the rest of the season and use that as a point to push on from.”


    That's a lot of hopefully's.

    He must have had a hard life.

    He runs like he's 66.

    Yessssss Reevzy - I feel so confident now after reading that.

    Seriously - he feel he’s getting fitter....this means he’ll be out with a chipped finger nail over Christmas.
  • After the interview, Reeves was rushed to hospital after straining his vocal cords. He is expected to be out for 3 months
  • It’s a shame Reeves hasn’t hit the heights he was very good as Draco Malfoy

    We weren't great on Saturday but I wasn't particularly impressed by Blackburn.

    That’s not what his hairline is telling me

  • (Ben) Reeves and (Paul) Mortimer - only one of these has something to prove. Clock's ticking, Benny boy!!
  • Why not give the bloke a chance- I think he is a quality footballer if only some of the usual cynical lot on here can wait to see!

    He's got good ability on the ball - but it seems to me, he needs the team built around him to be truly effective.
    Only problem is he's been out injured or not match fit - so is it too much of a risk?

    It's good for the players to have a positive attitude and believe we can turn recent form around.

    Don't let Jacko see that photo.

    He'll pin it up on the dressing room wall at Sparrows Lane!

    He'd benefit from playing near an enforcer type of midfielder. We don't have any though.

    Kashi was that sort of player a couple of years ago. Who knows, if we went 4-4-2, maybe he'd start getting around the park again instead of sitting in front of the back 4 all the time.
