I hope you dont mind me replying to your reserve team managers comments about yesterdays game.
Whilst i accept the younger players on show for your reserves clearly have ability you can't expect more mature players that they will meet through the season to roll over and let them do as they wish. i agree the game was physical but nothing more than they will meet week in week out in their respective division. the comments by their manager were some what disrespectful to Bournemouth Electric indeed the only major incident i witnessed other than the normal run of the mill occurences that happen in a game resulted in our player quite rightly being removed from the field of play. Other than that, to suggest we singled out an individual for rough treatment was over board. The incident that resulted in Mike Glavin's injury who incidently used to play for us and still is friends to many of the team, appeared quite innocuous from where i was stood and i hope that Mike recovers quickly.
That said clearly PT reserves have some quality young players who once they get used to senior football will more than hold their own and i wish them well for the season.
