No surprise we won easily. Have to smile when the team's problems can be attributed to one player without whom we would have lost more often despite his faults. Tħe weeks ahead should be interesting.
So, you weren't suprised we won easily ? Did you actually watch the Barrow match on Monday night AT HOME ? It was one of the most inept displays I've seen the team put in for some seasons. Do you know how difficult it is for ANY TEAM to win at Mount Pleasant ? Have you actually been to M.P ? Please share with us less in the know , just why you weren't suprised.
Of course the team problems are not solely "attributed to one player without whom we would have lost more often despite his faults". However, Dec has been known for blowing hot and cold for some years, and when things aren't going well for a team, a culture of petulance can be easily stirred up by individuals.
Batley are not a team to steamroll easily - especially at Mount Pleasant. They were absolutely smashed to pieces today, notwithstanding that one eye must have been on Wembley, by a rampant display from a team who played unlike the team has played for some time.
Therefore, smile indulgently at those misguided supporters who have their thoughts on the subject, and fill us in with your version of today's performance.
