It will be nice to see Tom back if he’s fit he’s an asset and if Adam Gledhill returns I’d be well chuffed . I thought Adam was one of our most reliable players last year They would make competition in the forwards interesting But one player I’d love to see back this year would be Jack Broadbent that lad has a great future in the game Has he been loaned anywhere yet ?

Not a lot between the two sides I thought our halfbacks were the better pairing and showed promise for the future and in fact White impressed with his first run out in a Batley shirt .Apart from conversions I thought Sykes was very poor .Forwards just about cancelled each other out both far to many handling errors Leaky doing an 80 minute stint again good effort for the first game of the season .In all a better performance than I thought it may have been considering the personnel changes and a change of coach a promising start and I was so pleased to see Danny Bravo pull a shirt on so pleased for the lad !!

That was the hardest afternoon that any of those players have felt pulling a Batley shirt on or any teams shirt come to that Two weeks have passed yes ONLY two weeks since that tragedy Do any of you know how those players felt Did any of you ask them !! No a certain minority didn’t ask them or put an arm around them they decided to shout obscenity’s at them Get a grip !! The performance was poor but our team was short of good players that didn’t help Those lads are human they have feelings!!! I know we always expect a result and no we didn’t get one today but this really has been an awful season for the club to go through mainly off the pitch These lads are only human remember this folks

To be fair I think it could be a Fev win by a margin It’s going to be a difficult difficult day just for the lads to get back on the pitch after what’s happened Whatever the result they need commended for coming together and getting out there to play Come on Batley

I’m not sure if you saw the last two matches toffee but I have to say Joufrett has impressed at fullback he has what Scotty doesn’t The way he comes into attack at speed and the lines he runs at least two tries at Rochdale and one against Dewsbury we’re down to just that I for one can’t criticise Diskin for that selection .Scotty is great under the high ball and defence but lacks the attacking edge of the Frenchman

And the fact that Fev will probably not have the Leeds players next season .They could need quite a few extra on their books next year
