Sheffield have been badly let down by Batchelor…Holder and Ellis have done their jobs and so have Howarth and Pickering but you cannot win when the rider you signed as number 1 scores like Batchelor has and you have no real reserve strength.

apart from when Howarth & Pickering are riding together, and in heats  13 & 15, in effect we have a reserve in every heat, 2 in heats 2 & 8

In those circumstances we have done well to get to the play offs at all

In heat 8 Batchelor was well-placed after the first two corners but appeared to ease up on the third bend to let Pedersen through and then allowed Andersen all the space on the fourth to follow his partner for a 5 - 1.It just strikes me Batchelor doesn't have a fight in him; he just invites opponents to pass him. Two points from a rider who started the season as the league's no.1 is beyond pathetic. He looks like a man who's given up.

And I think you've summed that up spot on...
