Quote: Famous "I cant see this at all. My only criticism of Bateman is precisely that he doesnt pass and stiffles our attack on the right at times by not passing when he should. He also sometimes gets in the way instead of being a dummy runner as Farrell does on the left and as Hansen used to but hopefully that is just him getting used to our systems. To compare his passing to O'Loughlin's is an insult to O'Loughlin.'"
I haven't seen him play this season. The last time I saw him play was when he was being used as a battering ram at Bradford, which was criminal.
Trust me when I say he is a better ball player than O'Loughlin. The game I am referring to against AIS he was the most natural ball player on the pitch, AIS included.
