Quote: The Whiffy Kipper "I see the Cherry & White tinted goggles are out, Batey (as it should be spelled) is currently playing at 80% of what he was playing before he left. Last season was 70%, some fans really to need to stop bullting certain players up just because they are your favourites'"
What performance trackers do you use to come up with those percentages? Why not 75% and 85% How can you tell if someone has improved by 10%? Which bit of his game would that be?
I thought he was awful last season (by his high standards) and i hold him in very high esteem which is why he is in my all time wigan 13 alongside Betts but that was from his first stint with us. I don't think he is near peak Bateman yet though but has admittedly been a hell of a lot better this season than he was the last. He is playing well.
