Error strewn performance, but fair play to Batley, good solid team who deserved it.

Handforth is pure quality at this level.

Lets put this one to bed and look towards travelling and beating Dewsbury,Barrow and the Blackpool big one ( not the ride ).

[quote="spanishbob"]Or perhaps the worst decision was never penalising Batley number 4 who could never get onside or Batley team for messing the play of the ball, or not penalising the player for pulling Ben black back, or for letting us get away with a blatent forward pass or etc. Etc etc................. Best team won, in my opinon, end of.[/quote]


You know, we just cannot help ourselves, cheating our way to wins against Halifax, what's that? 3 times this season?!!!

You can't read can you? Even when you select his quote - you still can't read - or at least understand what he put. Most Fax fans have been complimentary to Batley. Dork.

Re: Nightmare first half : Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:26 pm  

Agree with most of what's been said. Batley definitely deserved to win. Defensively very impressive and tactically superior - their kicking game was spot on I thought fax did vey well to come back from being 16 pts down while gannon , was my m.o.m. However my major concerns are the right hand side defence and the attack. I posted after the Leigh game that I had my concerns to which a couple of posters disagreed. Well I do think their is a major problem there. I don't know If it's the half backs not gelling or running lines etc are just not working but that is my biggest worry at the moment. I don't know enough about the game to get technical but if it can be sorted then we can still have an influence at the end of the season

Thanks for that, and actually my literacy skills are fine thanks, just my ICt skills are lacking, I uncluded the wrong quote so you are most welcome to have a go at me for that. . . . but my literacy skills do not stretch as far as understanding what a dork is!!

Anyhow, I put my post here because there are some Halifax supporters still blaming the ref for your loss, which really stretches the imagination, and yes, I know there are also some on here who said you were generously treated by him. I actually thought the refereeing was ok, if a little odd at times, but isn't it always?

So apologies for including the wrong quote.. . . but calm down with the insults!! Don't be so shallow next time!

Lol don't we all. We are all RL supporters!

Re: Nightmare first half : Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:21 pm  

Both of our half backs look relieved to get rid of the ball instead of playing closer to the defensive line & committing the opposition into decision making. Both poor, that's why we're not creating too much.
Our best attacking options come from Penky's hands & boot and Beswicks dummy half work. Greenwood, Worrincey & White are working their backsides off with the ball.

Re: Nightmare first half : Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:29 pm  

Spot on Colin. When you have pretty much those 3 who are only ones who seem willing to do the yardage work then it is predictable and easy to defend against. Everyone comes alive and starts buzzing in the opposition 1/3 of the field

Re: Nightmare first half : Sun Jun 26, 2011 8:31 pm  

Sorry for turning up and trying and cheeating at the same time.

We'll just let you guys walk over us next time cos 'it's only Batley'.
