Batley at home.

[spanishknight]

Another hard game, cant remember the last time we beat them home or away, hope we didnt pick any injuries up in France and we have one or two players returning, if we get behind the players like we did in France we will be O.K.

Any kind of win will do me. It's that silly time of the year when you get surprising results eg Dewsbury winning at Widnes, Halifax winning at Sheffield. A crucial 2 points and push back up the table before we wind our way to Rochdale.

Was that  whynd or wind

Should be a cracker , the dogs will be smarting after their hammering at home to Leigh last Sunday , knights by 10 , attendance 1700 .

Up the fantastic kneets

[spanishknight]

Knights by 8 in a close hard game.

[Barlby Knight 65]

i would be hoping for a better attendance than 1700 , we should be pushing for over 2000 now , no football so lets get the City fans turning up for their sporting fix 

[Fenton Knight]

Agree BK.

The football season may be over but the rugby season is in full swing. And there’s a cracker taking place on Sunday at BC between the Knights and the Bulldogs. Let’s get the flyer out to as many people as possible between now and Sunday and spread the word about York City Knights.

Oh, and under 16’s go free, so folks can bring the whole family!

[White Knight]

Does anyone know if we got through Saturday unscathed? Matty March didn’t look too good. Would be good to get some of the injured lads back. No news on Tim. Looked like he did his hamstring against Widnes. 

[Gav Wilson]

Tim's a few weeks away. As far as I know we got through Toulouse in relatively decent nick.

(As decent as you can after 3 games in 8 days and a trip to France anyway!)

[White Knight]

Cheers Gav

With so many players now getting game time and not looking out of place ,Fordy must be in a position where he now knows he can bring these players in and not make the team any weaker.Will be a tough game against Batley who have been a bit up and down this season,but I think the Knights will win by 8 to 10 points.Crowd 1600 to 1700.

Not a hammering on Sunday, Brierly the difference between the teams, Went home happy with our performance, possibly picked up a couple of injuries + a couple of players suspended but I am looking forward to a very competitive match.

Batch not in 19 for saints this sun , fingers crossed that he features for us again .

I'm a strong believer in players playing in their 'proper' positions. but if Batch is available I'd play him alongside Salter in the centre to stiffen the defence up a bit in that area.

[White Knight]

Not sure where we are injury wise, but no Ash Robson, Ben Cockayne and Harry Carter (long term), Tim Spears and Matt Chilton are probably a few weeks away, but Graeme Horne, JJR and Joe Porter are hopefully ready to return. Hopeful that Batch and Jordan Baldwinson will be available too. 

[HaxbyKnight]

I think we will see a fair bit of rotation over the next two weeks, and nobody will be risked unless 100% fit. League positions suggest we should have too much firepower for the next 2 games, and with 3 very tough fixtures following these, I'm sure Fordy won't be risking anybody.

Do you mean instead of Bass? He's been our standout performer so far (IMO) this season especially if you consider where he came from. Would be harsh to leave him out and I personally don't think batch has looked any better.

I agree Bass has had a very good season, but since his injury I think he has looked a little off the pace, and a rest wouldn't do any harm. Anybody who gets left out at the Knights is unlucky, but you can only play 17. Last season nobody would have thought Brad Hey wouldn't be a regular, but he has struggled to make the side this season.

Had a good game last week, im glad Fordys picking the team instead of the so called experts.

[spanishknight]

Good squad for Sundays game, a few players back.

Theres no easy games in this division, this is not league one.

No Batch included in the squad for Sunday's game

Didnt think he would be, can't see us getting him back this season but live in hope.

Quick question to you all, is it cheaper to buy tickets online at £17 than paying cash on the turnstile?

Also, which stands do you open for the RL?

Thanks in advance.

 

 

[HaxbyKnight]

£17 on the day. Last few games, the main stand, and the David Longhurst stand behind the posts have both been open. I would imagine it will be the same this week.
