    Great News.
    Everyone involved in Jake's lengthy recovery deserves a huge pat on the back.
    Our club has it's fair share of critic's and doesn't always cover it's self in glory stories but this news will be heartfelt by our supporters up and down the country.
    Welcome back Jake missed but never forgotten.

    Maybe they have shown more in training just a thought.

    This is a surprise as I was assured that we'll never see him in a City shirt again.

    Best of luck to him.

    What do you mean how wrong could I be?

    He's on the bench.. not played a minute for us yet.

    Will more than likely play on Tuesday or when we play that joke game.

    After that when Harry, Donaldson, Palmer, McCartan are back we might not see Reeves for another 20 months.. he needs to go out on loan for at least a month in my mind.

    Brilliant to see him back in the squad. A fit Reeves definitely belongs in our current squad but whether he can become the same player prior to his original injury remains to be seen.

    Am so pleased for Jake that his name has been listed. Gutted I'm not there to cheer him on.
    Come on Bradford fans give him a right good back if he comes on!
    Good luck Reevesy!

    What do you mean how wrong could I be?, well it was you who suggested he went out on loan to get himself match fit , were as I said our fitness/conditioning coaches would want to do that, nurse him back, player management call it what you will.

    You could be correct he might not get game time today, looking at the Swindon squad today it looks like we aren't allowing Doyle to be Cup tied, good move from Bowyer, so if he doesn't get game time today he will I would suspect get some Tuesday night,

    For showing such determination to overcome the injury and lots of setbacks, for ignoring the over the top and at times unpleasant stick he got from alleged City fans. After such a lengthy lay off he could have made a case for collecting an insurance payout and retired, but he didn't, he stuck with it.
    Any supporter would want a player exhibiting those qualities in their team, especially as we know he can hold his own in the league above the one we are in.
    I sometimes think you are a bot @Fordy117@Fordy117, you don't seem to exhibit much human emotion.

    That's what I have. The squad(bench mainly) looks to have Tuesday's game in mind. Reeves will more than likely play a part in that. He might come on today but after Tuesday I don't see how he gets game time as I would like to like Harry, Palmer, Donaldson, McCartan are close to return.

    So a months loan isn't a stupid thought as I am sure Reeves will want match time and the club would benefit as a 60% fit Reeves is better than a 100% fit Devine. It's one of them but Reeves isn't superman and he needs match time.

    He was always going to come back. It's his career. Not one was retirement talk mentioned.

    He's out of contract in the summer and needs to prove himself.

    For me it's see you later come the summer no matter what anyway.

    What a weapon - use your brain.

    For overcoming his lengthy layoff, working hard and earning his spot back in the squad.

    Even if he fights his way back into our first team, plays really well and helps us to promotion in the spring?

    Any game time today will be a big challenge for Jake, I believe that's more Bowyer's reason to pick him how Jake will reacted if brought on, out for almost 2 years even 20 minutes will give our backroom guys an idea of what his mental fitness is like.
    Then another run out on Tuesday night, slowly a game at a time and hope there is no reaction.

    People have broke their leg in 3 places and been back quicker.

    Not many players out for 20 months with a groin injury. What size is his groin.. like a horse.

    The truth will come out soon enough!
