mannings bandy legs 439 Posted November 5, 2023 Camera's on Batth and Duffy in dugout. No talking and distinct lack of friendship clearly visible. Club is a mess that't going to take a lot of sorting!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
komakino 282 Posted November 5, 2023 Either Batth simply isn't rated by Wagner or there has been some sort of issue between them. I cannot think of any other reason. At least his reputation isn't damaged by this ****show that appears to have no end. Does MA even know what League One is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted November 5, 2023 Why feel sorry for him, he’s picking up his big wages and giving 80% as per our standards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,991 Posted November 5, 2023 I noticed Batth was first to lead the players round the pitch to take the flack at the end of the game. He knew what he was doing and clearly not happy here and I would expect a swift January exit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penelope Catchpole 34 Posted November 5, 2023 Maybe Batth is another example of our woeful recruitment policy and isn’t good enough or fit enough (mentally/physically) to start. Fringe player’s reputations always grow when the team are struggling. It’s entirely possible Batth is as useless as the rest of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was player of the season for Sunderland last season. Something has happened between him and Wagner, or another player (s). It’s obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 4,272 Posted November 5, 2023 Hanley and Gibson injured, Duffy suspended next game. If he doesn't get a start then he never will, although hopefully it'll be a new/temporary manager by then anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GodlyOtsemobor 2,829 Posted November 5, 2023 Think he'll be off in January, probably end up recalling Tompkinson if we need another CB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would not be too surprised if he's seen how awful the defending is only to then request to play only for Wagner to take that as an insult.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect he's a **** stirer. Seemed strange today he was quick to drag the players round the pitch to draw abuse from the fans. Get rid, play the youngsters.
