Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
Has been lackadaisical. Its kind of disconcerting this business of dropping players on form.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
Personally, I have wondered if paying him as the 3rd tall, meaning he has regularly lined up on true key forwards giving away plenty of size, has taken a bit out of him.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
It happens all the time at good teams.
Our shas been one of the few clubs over the years that has had a large number of players who get picked every week. At most clubs, good players in reasonable form find themselves on the sidelines for a few weeks all the time, esp if the team has had acouple fo disappointing outings. They tend to come back more determined to keep their spot when they get back in.
I've been waiting years to see this happen. Hope it lasts more than one week though.

I meant disconcerting in an exhillerating-kind of way. Also sarcasm, which is a perennial problem of mine. Its great to see.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
We're actually in really good shape for medium defenders.
It's our midfield depth that's the concern. One reason they were likely prepared to see how Batch went in the role early in the season.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
I reckon his drop off in form has really happened since Grimes went down. Not only did we lose a good player, but others had to pick up the slack.

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
I still like him a lot as a player though.
Probably has. He has had to play too tall.Brodders17 said:

Re: Pick 30 - Jake Batchelor
I'm really disappointed with how Batch is travelling this season.
Where's the spark??

Second year blues, I'm not too concerned because we know what he's capable of. Batch is definitely part of the future.
