Phil Loxton Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 They only beat Swinton 26-24. Nothing is certain in sport. What if Toulouse get a player dismissed early doors? And what if Batley decide to hit a purple patch? Stick by em. I've stuck by Fev for 56 years and seen the good the bad and the ugly.......and some very very ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Toronto blip Coolie? Is that the blip that saw us keep 'em to 34 instead of the possible 64? Can't work out what the normal service is either!! Great grub, good bars, good crack, is that it....!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieone Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Perhaps normal service is moan, moan and more moans on the message board.

There's friction between the fans and the coach.. And I can't see the situation getting better, wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't afford to get rid of diskin.. We've been in that situation when the coach needs to go.. It's down to brass then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever is done there is always Mr doom saying how terrible things are thankfully the 6 or so are not representive of the fan base. One win in seven with the team conceding on average 27 points per game is bound to get people moaning . Do you seriously expect people to express positive opinions with this kind of playing record ? I reckon that those fans that pay their money to watch Batley are entitled to express their opinions whether we agree with it or not ! Even the most ardent Batley fan should recognise that there is not a lot to shout about as things stand . If you think it is only half a dozen supporters who are dissatisfied with things then I suggest that on Saturday you go and ask people on the terraces what they think . I think that you will get more than half a dozen negative views !! In reality , as Batley supporters , we are already reduced to hoping that all we need to do is to beat Swinton , Rochdale and Dewsbury to maintain our Championship status which seems to be the extent of our falling ambitions for this season . I think it is fair to say that most fans were expecting a little bit more for 2019 ! It seems a long time since those heady days of 3 years ago . At home , this squad should also be capable of beating Halifax and Sheffield plus Featherstone (if their "guest" players are absent ) but will they ? For what it is worth I think that we can easily avoid relegation trouble but that does not make it a good season ! If that's moaning then so be it !!!!

toffeedog Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 dont wish to sound negative but does anyone think the second half performance out weighs the first half performance. no disrespect to the chairman but he were unlucky against Halifax but appoling against Bradford and featherstone and Barrow even worse.how many more games does a coach get to get it right either it's his tactics or motivation that's the issue. Halifax first half embarrassing then Toronto first half as for naming and shaming players is un professional and disrespectful to players who he expects to play for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
