Batth, 35, signed after leaving Derby and worked with Neil at Stoke.
He says Neil’s impact on the dressing room is something he hopes can spur the club on.
“We had a great time together,” Batth told BBC Radio London.

The football purists won’t be banging on the Oxford United club shop door for a DVD of Saturday’s game against Bristol City.

Leicester City’s potential deal with Michail Antonio will not be going ahead following further injuries, Foxes boss Marti Cifuentes has confirmed.

The Leeds boss was asked by Sky Sports if this was one of his best weeks as a Premier League manager, and said: “No,

Chairman Mehmet Dalman and chief executive Ken Choo have now started interviewing those contenders.
Club owner Vincent Tan, who has faced fierce criticism from Cardiff fans lately, will have the final
Murphy has not played for England at any level since the 2017 European Under-21 Championship.
He reportedly turned down a chance to change his international allegiance to Nigeria, where his biological father is from, earlier this year.
And he is hoping for a first senior call-up this summer by Thomas Tuchel. He was given encourgament by Magpies team-mate Dan Burn, at the age of 32, making his England debut under
For Ramsey, still registered as a player and with no coaching experience, there was a chance to enhance his hero status by inspiring an improbable escape act.
And despite the high stakes, it was relatively risk-free for his reputation because too much damage had already been done to lay any of the blame for relegation on him.
