I am not sure how this works but there seems to be topic albeit under different headings regarding Neil Lowe can these be merged or something please.

I would have thought that Barry has to dig his heels in especially on this type of thing otherwise I think this could show weakness, what every player in all sports should understand is they form part of a unit and if that means having to play in the 2nd team now and then so be it.

Can you imagine if Barry said right Mr Lowe you win you rule you are guranteed a place now that would put any coach in a poor position with the rest of the squad.

Spitting dummies out hold no sway for me, if he had been playing better than the others he may be in a position of strength but sadly as much as I admire him as a skilled player he has not.

I hope he knuckles down and perhaps realises he was asked to play in reserves because it was needed to help the reserve players too.

Yes they can...er, give me a minute though.

There, done.

Was impressed with him last season,but been below par this.

Heard a whisper in my shop today there might be a suprise player at the reserves game tomorrow night which we are unable to attend.

Do tell

A Scottish World Cup Player no less

Good for him if he is. Also somebody who knows him should 'no more nail him' to the tread mill for a fortnight and we will once again have back a player who adds another edge to this team.

Hopefully hes realised his mistake and has appolgised. Now he must do his talking on the pitch to get the Cougar Faithful back on his side and prove he is committed to the club and will play regardless which team he his picked for.

I am still hearing Mr Lowe should be playing in reserves tonight I really hope so but I think he has done himself so much damage with the other players etc I cant see him being here long term.

Sometimes you gain respect by doing the things you really don't want to.

Sometimes you gain respect by saying sorry.

Sometimes you gain respect by putting your hand up and saying you have made a mistake.

Sometimes you don't gain respect because people are narrow minded.

Sometimes you don't gain respect because others cannot see the bigger picture.

I would suggest that perhaps somewhere in there is the current situation should things come to pass.

Halft time score in reserve game york 18-cougars 12, neil lowe playing.

Final score 36-22 to cougars.

Do we know how well he played?
