I didn’t see any trouble and thought they were decent noise compared to other clubs who’ve come down, caveat a bit with it being a big rivalry for them so probably helped but other than giving the ball kid stick about his weight which was a bit harsh when he’s a kid (well done Sam Hart for...

We stayed up with a poorer squad than the one we have now but it is difficult especially post mid season, Mansfield maybe a good example at the moment once the wave is over it does become a slog.

Not too downbeat about that one, it was a farce in terms of conditions and why Vale were so keen to get it on with 1500 or so not turning up and the game was a dire watch. Neither side got to grips with it really and oddly the team playing against the wind seemed to have the better of each half...

Farcical game in these conditions. We have got the wind second half at least behind us.

Ronan Curtis was a 1 in 4 man at Pompey. He’s playing the high press

I’m guessing we’ve gone with three number 10/wide men up top to keep it on the deck so the conditions! If we can get 30 out of Byers though il be chuffed.

Strikerless wonders! Odd one but Byers making the bench is massive news.

Rumours on Walsall forum an inspection is planned.

Dackers has faced us three teams this season (2 for Salford in League and cup and for Morecambe) and he has been very poor each time.

Morecambe played a lot better than their position suggests, very limited and their subs are old journeyman like Slew and Hope but they work very hard and have Tollitt and Rhys Williams who are decent. They don't have the quality really but do battle hard.

Not the pitch that could be the issue I guess safety if 60-80mph gusts and flying debris which may see some games be called off.

Huge top of the table clash at Vale Park, set to be played in horrific weather conditions so likely not a classic. Obviously Walsall as mentioned have a big hatred for us having re-ignited a decades old rivalry from their side since we signed Darrell Clark from them so will be difficult as will...

There is no issue if you behave, its not banned for away fans to wander round there but its segregated in terms of parking is usually through the back of the the stadium across the field at dimensions and no drinking facilities for away fans on the side where our fans generally enter it. If...

Not quite the "El Ceramico" is it to be fair :ffs:

They’ll be closing the access so won’t get close, didnt see a single Crewe fan outside the stadium and they had 2000 there, it’s quite weird considering fans used to mix in Tommies but on the flip side it’s pretty much made trouble non existent.

It was big decades ago but completely died out by the 90s, the puzzling bit is why it randomly reignighted on the Walsall side a couple of years ago. No incidents or anything controversial really and your fans said they weren’t bothered about DC leaving. Win, lose or draw Saturday it won’t make...

Players just seem rusty and we make 4 or 5 changes a game, like Shorrock, scores a wonder goal, not in 18 and imagine he will play at the weekend maybe? The huge squad is great in that unlike many other teams we can largely cope with injury problems, all be it all ours are central midfielders at...

Makes sense, sure we go to Colchester on a Tuesday in January for example. Actually only 6 midweek league games this season but assume this round of fixtures was the Saturday moved up because of the cup weekend, but suppose with International Fixtures causing postponements too even at L2 level...

To be fair I was in the dog house for waking the wife and kids up cheering when that went in! Meant keeping top spot and as I said about the Crewe celebrations more relief than anything. We've been below par for a few games now, (no surprise since Garrity is out adding to Byers) but Byers...

Still remember us getting them at the Etihad in 2020, they made changes but their “reserves” was Foden, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Stones, Cancelo and Aguero :lol:
