Quote roofaldo2="roofaldo2"Well, Batley's players are playing at the limit of their capabilities and are in fine form as reflected in their current standing in the table.
Bradford's players are not playing near the level they are capable of on a consistent basis, yet find ourselves just a point behind Batley in the table.
Lack of leadership and direction on the field, coupled with poor game and man management off it are why Bradford are currently slugging it out for 3rd place rather than contesting a top 2 spot.'"
And I think today's performance and result backs up my point nicely. Batley were probably the better team everywhere but on the scoreboard.
That being said though, a number of last minute withdrawals are always going to mess up the best game plan.
