I loved him but obviously the flair players got the headlines and love. He was just fucking quality. He definitely comes under the banner of players we wish we'd seen more of. Never been more surprised by the quality of a player than him. Thought he was just a hard nose but i was blown away by how good he was. @Disco a fan I think too.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I liked Speed but he was never a great player. Very good player, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Rob Lee for me, Batty was exceptional however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think emotionally most fans will prefer Lee but Batty was the superior player. As NUT said, we just didn't realise it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thinking about it, Batty has probably been one of the best defensive players the club has had. Not sure if he was the best midfielder though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I loved Batty when I was little, he was my official favourite player (as I had to have at that age) after Peter Beardsley left. I always assumed he was a big part of Blackburn's PL win, but just seen he was out injured most that year and only played 5 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 City game moved forward to Friday 14th. Thought they were meant to be getting pushed back to allow fans in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nar, last two games are when fans are in so Sheff Utd home and Fulham for us! So, we'll play at home on the Tuesday or Wednesday surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Ah shit aye, didn't realise that was originally Wednesday night! Thought it was that weekend's fixture. Must mean we're playing Fri/Wed/Sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a decent player in there also, just a shame it never really worked out. He has done well at Porto though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been a great chance, think he's rattled and trying to score himself. Hadn't remembered that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
