    So complacent that he couldn't even get into Michael Collins team....So complacent he only scored 1 goal and only appeared 13 times (4 in cup games) for Yeovil......Yes he's our saviour....glad he's back, we've missed him...

    I understand Reeves may be appearing in a new TV drama, 24 Months in A&E.

    How does it work with players insurance? Aren’t they obliged to have injury insurance? Plus if he continues to be injured shouldn’t he be retired as u fit for work?

    Insurance is up to the clubs as it is them that pay them. Some players have their own if they can not continue playing due to injury but currently the risk lays with the club so it would depend what level of insurance the club have in place.

    He will be getting paid by the club whilst injured.

    I believe with Reeves its a mental thing. I'd heard he was passed fit to play by a physio but in his head he believes he's still injured. But, as with anything else, nobody knows the full picture.

    There seem to be firms which are offering this for the individual professional rather than a club.

    Such as, PFA ‘We believe all players should have their own individual Pro-Secure Personal Accident Policy in their own name to insure against the loss of future career earnings and secure their future’.
    https://www.thepfa.com/thepfa/proudassociated/P/prosecure
    ‘Protect yourself and your family with career ending injury cover that pays out a cash lump sum or regular payments’. https://prosportinsurance.co.uk/
    ‘Our specialist knowledge in the professional football arena has enabled us to develop a product suited to meet the needs of the modern day professional footballer in the event of accidental death, injury or sickness’.
    https://www.bluefinsport.co.uk/proplayer/#.XDi9KhqnyhA

    So there seems to be a market for insurance for professional footballers, if different providers are offering policies.

    Jordan Gibson is a good player, still only 20. In the past few years we have one or two players go too quickly.

    Him and Devine are wasting their careers at Bradford City.

    They're not good enough.

    Yep they are the ones for career ending injuries which I said some players take out in case they cannot carry on playing rather than his current position which would be the club paying him

    If you dislike him then dislike him. There's no need to contrieve false stories about him.

    Micheal Collins was working within Rahic's structure of a development squad, therefore on a three year contract OP was very much a part of this, hence loaned out to Yeovil.

    Some Yeovil fans have been quite crtitical of how Darren Way utilised OP often preferring Zoko.

    IIt's interesting you level complacency as a failing of OP.
    DH has openly stated many current players are surplus to requirements, however has brought OP back to work with him.

    I don't know if OP will realise his potential with us or not. However looking at DH's record so far getting the best out of players, there's a damn good chance he'll improve OB.

    Hopefully OP will bag a few and you'll have to find another to dislike.

    I think Devine is only kept at the club so we can meet the league regulations regarding home grown players. If I was him I’d look elsewhere. He’s just not pushed on and in reality should’ve left at the end of last season.

    As for Gibson, successive coaches/Managers can’t get him to perform consistently. In my opinion once he got the contract, he probably thought he’d made it.

    We need players of the calibre of LOB and Colville who’ve both showed more than Gibson.

    Sorry from what I've seen of him, nowhere near good enough to play regular league 1 football.

    He has to wear a name badge so people at the club know who he is.

    That's a bit like @Fordy117@Fordy117 who believes he is driving an £80K Merc when its actually a Dacia Sandero
