Bateman had a good game and posed problems, running hard and defending well. He was certainly one of our better players. The "drop" the commentator referred to was Bateman offloading and hitting the tackler, at a time when few other players were seemingly trying to do much to get the necessary score.



Williams having a nightmare was 75% of the problem.

Yes, I heard him. I stand by my contention that he was no worse than anyone else, and better than several.
