    I liked O’Brian when he came on. Put some good passes and tackles in, plus he has the required red hair!

    To be fair @How@How none of the goals came from his side of the pitch.

    Reeves is a fairly middle of the road player. Nowhere near as good as Cullen but a considerable step up from what we've seen in midfield this season.

    Jones could come good but I think we'll be okay with Doyle and Ball. Not keen on Miller, runs around a lot but offers very little, so Jones could replace him as a 3rd option if he gets back to full fitness.

    Just been perusing Jones's stats to remind me how cack he is/was and I was amazed to see that he is 6'1", he gets knocked off the ball like he is 4'6"!

    He's 24 in 2 weeks and has played less than 50 league games, 24 years old! He needs to get his arse moving now or he has no pro career and so.................no sleb tottie. Good luck to him.

    I am worried about his numerous injuries and keeping him out for nearly a year. I am already thinking we can’t rely on him, just too fragile.

    guys! i'm all for writing off player who have proved they are not up to it,

    but while fit both these guys did a good job!

    alex jones scored goals and with reeves we did good and the league position with him playing proved that

    imagine of the poor guys were reading this now? lets not demoralize the guys before they are even back?

    lets give them a chance.... i personally am looking forward to having them back, hopefully both at the same time, and scanell..

    lets not be too deafeatist... i know its frustrating and i have been the biggest critic of this shit that's been happening for the last 10 months or so... but lets try and find positives and as i said lets not write these guys off before they have had a chance to come back and show what they can do

    At least if Jones is fit there’s no space for Kai on the bench. He might not be a great player but he’s better than Kai.

    I can see Reeves revelling under a Hopkin type manager as Managerial his style is similiar to Neal Ardley at Wimbledon, where of course Reeves did well

    Jones. Im not too certain, although it's feasible he might play better with the current type of forwards we hav3
