Quote The Leyther="The Leyther"There's only two ways we can respond to this, lets hope it's the positive way and we can try and tick that box by getting to the grand final.
We was outclassed, out enthused all over the pitch tonight which is disappointing considering it's the biggest game of the season, but full credit to Batley they went at us for 80 minutes. Our attack has been very poor these last few games, we seem predictable and can't get the ball to our outside backs quick enough to make up for their lack of pace.'"
I totally agree with everthing you say. I'm pretty sure that Milllward will be looking to turn the lads around from this, and that's the best we can do. The top six is looking close and I think Batley, with 7 home games left if sky are correct, look sure to feature this year. Barrow and Halifax are poised just behind us. Catching Fev is probably the unattainable.
We need to put tonight behind us, work out what went wrong, and try to put ourselves in the best place possible for the play offs. Confidence is a big thing in this game and the most important thing is to try to make sure that this isn't the start of some kind of freefall.
Batley were great tonight and no-one should try to be dismissive of the fact that we were up against a team that performed really well. Equally, we are disenchanted because of recent performances that have looked a lot like last season. I don't know what the answer is but a bit of actually 'running onto the ball' would be a start. We looked woefully flat in attack.
