Good move looks a real prospect, could do with getting a contract extension for Wood next.

 

Hope this works out better than the Omari Patrick extension following 3 good games!

Good on Reece for getting in and performing though

 

This is great news, a good youth system is the way forward for a club in our position (skint). Bringing them into the first team when ready can only be a good thing for club and player.

 

Because two things didn’t work out doesn’t make it wrong. I know as a fact if a big club picked him up for pittance you would be saying the exact opposite. Why didn’t we sign him up for longer etc. You find a negative in absolutely everything. Not a good trait at all

 

Great piece of business by the club just now need to give wood a extension and although others may not agree I would give French a new deal too

 

At long last some positive news from Valley Parade. I hope Reece has a successful career at City.

 

We've got Longridge, BRE, French, Wood, Cousin-Dawson, Sikora and Sutton to form a backline. And AOC and Staunton perhaps to return for the next game. No need to panic and spend money on someone we won't need in a couple of weeks.

 

Liverpool as well sent scouts on at least 2 occasions.

 

Yeah nowt like building the lad up for a fall after a handful of games. He wasn't under pressure but he is now, the club already building him as a star on twitter. Better to back off and let the lad learn his trade and not lumping all our hopes on him because of a lousy transfer strategy for years.

 

Perhaps the initial lack of fans this season may help him develop and gain more confidence without being under the spotlight of a big crowd who can quickly turn against the team when things are not going well?

 

I dont have a problem with the contract. He's one of the few players we have who could be worth something, down the line. For all we know, there may have been interest in him from elsewhere.

We have much bigger problems to worry about.

 

As French is a center back and has played there regularly before joining us expect McCall to ignore this and play a center forward in that position weakening us in both positions in one stroke

 

New four year deal.

 

Well done Reece. Good luck to him for the rest of the season.

 

I have a sneaky feeling this might just be one of the better decisions the club has made recently - I know we havent made many of them but a developing left sided centre back can be one of the positions in shorter supply. I just hope Reece isnt affected by the (on the whole) mediocre bunch he is currently playing with!
He will make mistakes but looks to have the character to learn from them and it doesn't seem to stop him 'giving it a go', when some of the other shrinking violets look for others to take responsibility. Keep positive and keep learning young fella

 

Good news. Shows the others first year lads what can be achieved with good performances. Hopefully a few more get tied down like Jorge Sikora. Looked good the other night.

 

Why?
I believe he has made 8 professional appearances including subs, which is similar to McBurnie for us and a PL club came in for him. Plus clubs higher up scout players from the youth team if they’re good enough.

 

He's had a promising start and has impressed McCall enough to be classed as a starter now. Probably more to do with how little he rates BRE. I'd just like to see us let him find his feet first and grow his confidence
