    There are clear reasons why nobody else wanted him, and unless he bucks up his ideas his career will go on a similar trajectory to TWWW.

    By most accounts the turning point in yesterday's game was when Reeves was replaced by Fosu. He's beginning to look like one of those players we ship out to get them off the wage bill.

    Reeves was poor yesterday, and so was Harry Lennon. Marshall looked better though.

    Wasn’t there, but Lennon made a very good block at 2-1. Almost certainly saved a goal.

    Fair play to him then. I was only remembering his notable gaffes. I probably saw the block but didn't realise it was HL.

    What did he do wrong? I have only seen a 90 second clip of highlights on sky sports.

    He got robbed standing just outside the box by a Walsall player he didn't know was there, and who was then practically one-on-one with Amos. And most of his clearances left a lot to be desired. But as I said, maybe only the gaffes stay in my memory. Just calling it as I saw it.
    When the subs board went up for Reeves, at first I thought it was Lennon being hauled off!

    reeves still cant last a 90 minutes. any right minded CEO would have signed him on a per minute basis to actually make him work. he wasnt brilliant, but not terrible either. a 6/10. we improved after he went off.

    Can you ask him if he really wants to be at Charlton because his performances suggest he doesn't want to be here

    Genuinely will if you want. I don’t think the move has happened for him... yet. He’s working hard at the club and in his free time.

    Do I think he’s fitted in the the dressing room? Debatable.

    I can vouch for that, he goes to my son’s gym most days. Ditto JP and RH.

    He’s putting the work in, it’s just not working right now. I think you hit the nail on the head in October time - we could have used the money elsewhere. There’s an imbalance when he and a couple others play.

    Robinson does love that type of player. Billy Clarke & Fosu were very good in the first 2 months of the season - when those two are fit again there is no place for Reeves.
