Anyone heard anything for Thursday?

Nothing on the courier site or the club website.

Gleeson and Said are the 2 probables I'd have thought

Being that we should despatch Batley without too much hassle, I'd say its best to rest Said and Gleeson if they aren't back to 100% ready for the Haven game which will be a lot tougher. Matt James will probably come back into the side after been cup tied vs Widnes I'd have imagined.

Not sure about the injuries this week, but with regards to Matt James, if he can't currently get in that shower of a Bradford side he must be wondering why.....
They're terminating Tame Tupou's contract and talk of them delving into the transfer market to replace him, Deacon will miss the derby against Leeds, things are looking real good for them at the moment

Gleeson may be back & both Bowmans are included in the squad along with James. http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/local/H ... 5156949.jp

Sounds good to me. This is definately a game to bring the younger lads through and give them experience of first team football.

Long overdue for Andy Bowman to be in the side.

Got to respect batley though- pick as strong a side as possible to ensure the points. Its never easy against batley, even harder if you get all cocky

It will be nice to see bowmans out there. Who's he dropping then?

Could rest Dave Larder, he deserves the break after the effort over last 3 games and will need his workrate on monday in Cumbria.

One of Black/Penky/Govin/Beswick could make way for younger Bowman.

James is back so no point risking Said.

Hope Barker plays, he looks to be improving fairly well and a good run out tonight could be just what he needs
