v Batley(A)

[Raider83]

We need to stop this losing slump, not gonna be easy this one again. Still hoping for a win

[Raider91]

No Wigan lads this week, not ideal. Hopefully the players can step up and show they deserve to be in the team when they are available. What's the crack with Greg Burke is he injured?

[Town utd]

Give marwood a run, or send the lad back to town

When did he last play for Town? It always seems like he's struggling to get game time.

[Town utd]

Think it was north wales game, week before he went  to barrow.

Strange to send him out on loan straight after. Does Murray not rate him?

[Town utd]

I think the big problem is he can't make training all the time,think he's on shifts ,that's what I've been told ,but he's played well every time I've watched town

[Masters 13]

Looks like we have capitulated again in the second half!!!

Time for a change at the top!!! 

[ABrowny]

 

Time for cresta to go for me, get a full time coach in

We scored the grand total of 2 pts today.

Have scored an average of 5 points in our last 3 games.

You won't win any games if you don't score.

In those 3 games, we've conceded an average of 38 points.

If we don't improve on these stats we are doomed, doomed I say.

2nd in table Sheffield next week. Oy Vey!

As a Batley fan I don't think the score reflected the game that was 2 bad teams out there today sloging it out you took one of your best players of the ginger lad at 9

I wish we'd kept Sammut. No real creativity at half back 

[Ulverstonian]

OMG... I think I harped on about this pre season ( Sammut) and the amount of tries he created for others and got slagged off for it...... 

We are going down if we don't change something. On paper the players we have should be doing better, so why is the question.  Going to go down to the Whitehaven match for relegation if we not very careful

How do you propose paying a full-time coach? With what? 

NB: He'd have a lot of time on his hands as the players are only part-time.

[Town utd]

Stick together, the business time of the season is just getting started.

Swinton managed to beat Sheffield today, very bad result for us.

Really? As a Batley fan we sniffed out barrow in the 1st half who look very low on confidence in poor conditions Batley handled them well in the second half and barrow didn’t have much of a chance, Batley have won 4 out of the last 6… it’s a shame we didn’t have josh woods fit against dewsbury or Halifax 

[BarraFan]

Shocking again! Things need to change quick! Not good enough players need to earn their place in the side, certain players are clearly not good enough and not interested! Time to bring in our dual reg/new faces! Better players in the amateur game!

Sorry Paul, but I'm hearing the same sob story every week. ie: Bad calls by ref. Only 11 men. Difficult place to come. Not far off, etc. etc.

The simple truth of the matter is that once again we can't score and we can't stop our opponents from scoring.

2 tries FOR and 22 tries AGAINST (1/10 ratio) in the last 3 games speaks for itself.

These are not "small margins" as you say, rather the score-lines reflect huge fundamental issues with either the players, your game-plan or both.

Yes, Wakefield are undefeated, fair enough, but both York and Batley have lost more games than they've won - we weren't playing Wigan or St Helens for crying out loud.

I don't agree the players aren't interested, they are. But unfortunately there's plenty that aren't good enough hence why we're struggling and staring at the league 1 trap door again 

[ivans82]

As a Town fan thought i would reply to a couple of points   .   Marwood  never got a proper run in the Team and when He did play tackled His heart out and backed up every break , week after for whatever reason wasn`t picked , He will not let you down . I take it it`s all down to size as to why He didn`t feature more .  As for Sammutt , has done nothing for us this season , and now on an 8 week break with His job , so i doubt He would have been much use to you..........good luck for the rest of the season .

Which amateur players would you put forward to hold there own in this league?

[morty]

The simple fact is we have no creativity at half back, nobody who can make a break or sniff out a gap. Brad Walker isn't a half back and Johnston should stop mouthing off all the time and get on with playing rugby. 

Hope the board (what's left of them) have a business plan for L1 ??
