Not great first half, though I thought after the first ten minutes we dominated that. Then Widnes forgot to come out in the second. Very satisfying. I have said it before, but the lad Gilmore might be the best signing since Brambani! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOGFATHER Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That was a bit special in the 2nd half. Outstanding display!!! It's not just the fact we're winning, the style of football is fantastic to watch. Well done lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cattivo Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That was one poor Widnes team.worst ive seen for a while...not taking anything away from Batley. great performance by the lads and i'm more than happy. Widnes fans on their forum now moaning about losing and that "this is Batley we're playing after all" ...unbelievable.... "you never win a game unless you beat the guy in front of you.

bromleybulldog Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Was that six back to back tries in the second half. Can't remember Widnes touching the ball at all for about 15 minutes! Brilliant stuff, though it has to be said that Widnes seemed to give up and were very poor once we took the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have that in the team, as well as speed of thought and in the legs!! Not to mention the desire to keep them scoreless in the second half.

I thought the bubble had burst and we were back to normal when we conceded the second try, and we would come back down to earth with a huge crash. Boy was I wrong!

The Phantom Horseman Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 On 21/04/2021 at 14:59, The Phantom Horseman said: Widnes look a bit soft in the middle to me, they have little depth to cope with their ongoing injury issues, and apparently they've only won twice in Yorkshire since 2016. Comfortable Batley win for me. I must admit I didn't think it would be THAT comfortable. Widnes are pretty bad, and Batley are pretty good. Think your coach deserves credit, as well as the player himself, for what he's getting out of Gilmore; fans of his previous clubs have been pretty critical of him, especially when he was at Widnes on their forum.

Crown Flatter Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I have just watched the highlights of your game and (gulp) I was very impressed with your teamwork and with some individual performances too. It’s hard for me, but well done. I thought we were conservative in our win at Widnes last week and believe we could have done more, but Batley showed how it should be done. Legs, Dews, Legs.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes wonder where the club would be today,if we'd gone for Linners instead of Diskin when Kear left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Nail and head Gittinsfan! Straight after a 3rd place finish we needed Kear-like continuity. Still, in defence of BoD they actually went on JK's advice. They ended up as disappointed as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerT Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi distantdog yes I have watched them again just having a bit of fun, we wouldn't have been doing this 2 seasons ago, even if we falter in the next two games nothing will take away the glow of what we have seen so far this season.
