    Both these guys are coming back from injury very soon at the same time

    ironically, other than Knight-Percival they are the only 2 players left from our wembley play off and play off season...

    also, whatever anyone wants to say about reeves, the stats show, with him we did good..

    he got injured at half time home to Rotherham,and thats EXACTLY when our season started to fall apart last season... Alex Jones, KNOWS where the goal is... it was just fitness, hes been trying hard to sort that..

    IF THESE TWO COME BACK FIT, we have a chance of salvaging this season..

    fingers crossed..

    They might make a guest appearance for a game or 2 but can't see them staying fit for longer than that.

    Two middle of the road players. Not bad, not amazing, can't see it making much difference.

    Jones is the same as Doyle and Ball so unlikely to start any games.

    Reeves would probably get in at this point, but will take a while to be fully match fit.

    You never hear about this in the national press do you, it's all the negative stuff.

    Well Done Reeves and Jones.

    I still have hope for these two. Reeves is a good player who was clearly struggling with injury at points last season. Certainly impressed early last season as opposed to Wright so far this season.

    Jones is frustrating. Clearly a good striker and really does know how to score goals but he desperately needs to get over his injury troubles. We can't be relying on him to get our goals because he will need a lot of phasing back in.

    Reeves had the confidence when he first came to get on the ball and try and take the team forward. Think the team was poor going forward and he lost his way and then got injured.

    We have no one at the minute who wants to do that in midfield. They look terrified.

    Ahhh didnt explain properly, i put wembley and play off season, meaning last seson when we were in too 6 going for the play offs, we were 9 points clear at one point and it fell apart as soon as he got injured..

    Makes sense. I don’t think he as bad as made out. He had big boots to fill when Cullen went back to West Ham but we were never going to get someone as good whoever we signed

    I’ve given Reeves peltere in the past but he walks right back into our midfield without question, even if they were all fit

    That’s how bad it is

    As for Jones, cameo sub appearances I think is the best he can hope for

    Scary that it’s the case, but someone dropping short for the ball as Reeves does is just what we need, on Jones, his goal/game record is pretty decent.
