So Reeves is missing...very odd as he's about our best player at the moment

He had a fight with Mohsni this morning.

Not happy that Reeve's is on the bench as have enjoyed watching him play as an excitiing and skilfull young player.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Reeves was a class act on tuesday and Corr was awful so very puzzling. Can only think he is not 100% fit.

PS mentioned in his BP interview that he was feeling the strain of playing twice a week.

Gutted reeves not startin

Harsh on Reeves! Impact player later on? Only reason I can think of?! The words Straws & clutching spring to mind with my reasoning!

 

[Kenny]

Mohsni starts - just how match sharp is he likely to be?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Look on the bright side.Reeves'll almost certainly be back for the Orient game.

Can see a pen against coming up/

Akinfenwa on the bench for NT apparently.

 

[LeedsSUFC]

Probably resting Reeves for Wednesday.

 

[southend-mad.94]

gutted with reeves on the bench as he looks a class act! However, i think we are resting him for Wednesdays game! i think that with that in mind it is a good call because we dont want yet another injury.

Can't help feeling that today's a bit special. I'm also a little surprised about Reeves..........as with Barna, remember Luggy making a comment about the amount of games Reeves was having to play. Probably being kept fresh for Wednesday, anyway, he's certainly handy to have on the bench if we need him.

 

[ntfcfan]

Akinfenwa on the bench, should be a lot more solid at the back today hopefully. Pace going forward too, Platt has been playing the better out of him and Bayo. Overall, a big change, but we needed one after previous away games.

Chris Phillips says the pitch is awful.
