I was personally expecting him to get a game this weekend with the way he has been playing for the reserves. Either way, definitely a good loan signing for Batley, and I'm sure he'd much rather be getting some first team play elsewhere than be in the reserves here.

Well I don't watch our lads train and PR does so I think it is best to leave team selection to him.

Regarding his comments about last week and some players being out of sorts due to a virus why would he lie ?

I have posted before judging by team selection for last night's under 20's Acton will replace Aspinwall and the others will be same as last week.

Re Alex Brown the loan period will do him good. It's early days yet.

Probably something in that but this season when there's so much riding on finishing 1st or 2nd you just have to do everything to win every single game by as much as possible, that's all that matters; if a few fringe players you would have quite liked to keep ask to be transferred at the end of the season, ah well so be it, so long as we get that top spot nothing else matters this year.

Just had a look at the League table. We are still top and unbeaten...........

Despite Alex playing in the first two games!

LS you are right , finishing in the Top 2 is so important this season , nowt else matters , if we DONT finish in the Top 2 our money for finishing 3rd or Lower would be substantially lower than our Rivals , we must play our strongest 17 every game as long as they are Fit of course ,no room for sentiment now , agreed we have a big squad now , but the players who cant make the 17 , must take their chance when it arrives , and make sure Rowls notices them .
