    Where have I said Cullen was ours?
    All I said was Reeves was definitely not an upgrade on Cullen, which some fans claimed

    You were stating we had gone backwards in terms of reeves for Cullen. Which yeah we have but he wasn’t our player anyway.

    If we had sold Cullen and replaced him with reeves then I can understand the comparison.

    It depends what your aspirations/goals are as a club. Cullen was not the finished article by any stretch, but he showed us what a really good midfielder looked like. Of course we had only loaned him from West Ham, but I expected that we would replace him with similar quality. Reeves is nowhere near the same quality, plus if Hopkin’s observations are correct, he also lacks the inner strength that is required at this level. I think we can safely say, he won’t be returning any time soon.

    As far as I am concerned Josh Cullen is a class act, both in terms of footballing techniques and inner strength and I miss seeing him play.

    Maybe the best person we could bring in would be sports psychologist

    Think that would benefit the whole squad and not just Reeves/Jones.

    That's pushing the boat out, we didn't have ice baths according to Grayson and still none when Hopkin came in.

    I only ask because when I had a muscle injury I looked up treatments on ice and heat packs. It all seemed a bit controversial with the medical lot having divided opinions.

    I think there's a difference between a non athlete and an athlete/sportsperson having ice baths after training to quickly repair muscle damage/muscle use from performance rather than repairing an injury to a non performing athlete/sportsperson.

    In that article it is more about football injuries than as you say athlete's, as I posted @brisbanebantams@brisbanebantams would be the one to tell us what ice baths offer.

    Same as most on here I would love Cullen back, but if he is such a class act why is he back in league one again. He played well against us but wasnt outstanding and gave the ball away much more than I remember when he played for us.
