    Hi @1975citygent@1975citygent

    Hi @1975citygent@1975citygent

    Ha see what I did?

    Anyway, look if any player in world football and I am including Sunday league had been out for near 2 years I don't expect them to be back to their best for around 6-12 months.

    Reeves played well in a Mickey game and to be honest it's embarrassing that Anderson couldn't look better than Reeves but I couldn't take yesterday's game seriously.

    I don't think Anderson & Devine are not good enough for Bradford City but a fit Reeves in Div 2 has a chance but I hope we don't rush him because it's going to take time for him to get up to speed.

    Maybe we could send him out on loan to a non league club so they could get him up to speed faster than us.

    Interesting interpretation - the other is Reeves leaves to put his injury nightmare behind him.

    He's probably a big earner.

    Would be the correct and sensible thing to do.

    Totally disagree. We should continue to monitor him here under Bowyer, who Reeves seems to trust and have confidence in. Let him ease his way back into our team, no need to go out on loan

    He will be eased back in here and get his game time. If he went out on loan, he would probably be over used too quickly.

    Great idea. Send him out to a non league club to play Mickey Mouse games.

    You watched non league? Tougher than most div 2 games.

    You kind of want Reeves to get smashed to see how his body copes.

    He needs testing.

    All about man management, we saw it with McCall and Mark Marshall, Jake has taken his first steps back, on the bench at Shrewsbury and the game time last Tuesaday night.
    I'm with you I believe he will make an apperance in the 1st team squad before Christmas, maybe Tuesday night off the bench as I believe with the second round draw giving us a greaf incentive to reach round 3 Bowyer will start his strongest 11.

    Not for me. Another club won't have the same understanding of his physical or mental condition and won't care about his longer term rehabilitation. They'll simply see him as a player 'too good for their level' and they'll base their game around getting as much from as possible and they'll flog him.

    He needs easing in. Building back up. 10-20 mins from the bench. 30 mins from the bench. 60 mins from the start. 75 mins, then a full game. Staggered over the next 6-8 weeks, then by the start of next year hopefully we have a fit and confident Reeves, ready to play a full part.

    Rubbish.
    Sitting on the bench at Shrewsbury would have been a big challenge for the lad after 2 years out, if brought on could he be an asset would he let his team mates and himself down ,could he influance the game if brought on.
    Those would have been things going around in his mind, Tuesday night he started and looked the best City payer on the park.
    As @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart says Bowyer and his backroom team know where he is both mentaly and physicality..

    No.

    Yes that's what we want, him getting smashed all over the pitch.

    Another great idea.

    It needs testing gradually, not by throwing him into the mire of non league.

    You might be a tycoon of the business world Fordy, but never get involved in physical training. The LAST thing you do with a long term muscular injury is to throw high volume an high intensity straight at it. And given the role that Bowyer has played in getting him back into a 'good place', the last thing we'd want to do in terms of his well being is show him the door, even temporarily.

    Absolutely spot on. Its a nonsense idea of Fordy's, to send him out on loan to a non league club, to get 'smashed up' in his words
