My Batley supporting work mates weren't quite so damning!

They were obviously being nice. Genuinely, he's been appalling. He spent the entire game against Whitehaven been told where to stand, what to do, and being generally chastised by our coaching staff. It was pretty embarassing really. Even when he manages to catch the ball, he doesn't know what to do with it. For such a big lad, he's not broken one single tackle yet.

Funny, he looked ok with us.

Maybe the coaching staff need to think how to get the best out of him rather than bollocking him.

His form was absolutely dire before Sundays match and his 80 minute coaching session on how to play the game. IMO its been a bit of a shock to him that he's no longer playing against spotty teenagers in the Academy.
On the other hand, Alex Brown has been excellent for us, and definitely has a talent that is worth keeping in your ranks.

Strange that because he is a good player!

Maybe he just does'nt want to be at Batley in which case he should say so and either go back to Hudds or sort out a different loan deal.
