League Two leaders open doors for former England international to regain fitness.
Speaking to BBC Radio London, Reeves outlined the common denominators he has observed in promotion-winning sides. "There are many different ways to do it," he said. "The common denominators of those promotion-winning sides were hard work and having each age group - you need youth, middle lads and experienced ones there. You have to have a nice blend."
He elaborated on how different age groups contribute to a team's success. "I feel like when it gets tough, the experienced boys really show up. When it's going really well, the young boys are feeding off that energy because maybe they haven't done it before," Reeves stated.
Reeves also emphasised the importance of leadership within the squad. "So those two aspects [are important] and obviously you need a manager [Dean Brennan] you respect and trust, and we've got that as well," he added. "I think we've got a very good formula to really give it a good go."
