What we couldn't have is the batch we saw in his previous stint at number one. If it were him ahead of hans, I would be a little nervous of our prospects. When in form, batch is terrific to watch. His gating recently has been sublime. Against lakeside, he trapped five times out of five. Sure, he was passed twice by a very determined nicholls, but a number one needs to be quick from the tapes. I would like to keep the spine of this years team. That would leave us as orlovski has pointed out, not much to play with at reserve. However, if the management can make an inspired signing, such as mikkel b jensen or one of the other promising young danes, then we would look pretty good again.
