If our wheels totally fall off and we’re here next season I wouldn’t be against loaning Wyke, last summer we couldn’t/wouldn’t pay what he’s on now especially when he would’ve been behind Cook but next season could likely be Cook’s last year, how does he cope after his ACL more so one who turns...
It was a timely reminder of that run of refereeing decisions in recent years. Obviously yesterday, Elliot Watt’s red card when McManaman equalised at the death under Hughes, the main one of course when Ian Goodison took Kyle Reid’s head off with his elbow and Darren Drysdale only booked him...
I think the pen was their only shot all game? Obvs the ref has had a massive say but think we could’ve played all night and not worked McGee more, those missing are crippling us.
First game was a friendly against Man U in 95, then next game was beating Notts County in the 96 PO’s but didn’t start going every week until the following year when we stayed up in what’s now the Championship when we had Mark Schwarzer in goal and Chris Waddle in midfield. Two seasons after...
That last sentence is what I’m hoping for. Sarcevic and Pattison have an injury free shelf life of only a few months (granted Pattison has had his appendix out) so I’d rather they miss this ‘easier’ run of games and be fresh/available for the final few weeks versus the big hitters.
I’m personally less concerned about our away form and more the effect two games a week for nearly two months has had, Pattison/Sarcevic/Pointon even Cook, just one of those increases our attacking threat today significantly not mentioning the rest. Two home games to come and no midweeks for a...
1 win in 15 vs 1 loss in 15, should’ve seen it coming, Alexander manager of the month too as per tradition losing your next game.
Only watched after the goal but we were awful, couldn’t put two passes together, no shots, Gills just time wasted (no criticism) and killed the game easily.
Other...
The good run started in December when we beat you, Chesterfield, a few others, all were games beforehand I thought ‘we’ve no chance there’, we played nearly all the top sides and apart from Notts County we did well (similar run of games to come in April).
But the difference has been that January...
Obviously far too early for all this ‘congratulations on your trophy’ comments from the exact same people who have been saying the same to Walsall all season.
Put a run together in this league and you dramatically rise, Walsall first half of this season, us second half, Doncaster last season...
I can’t remember another season where we’ve had this level of depth, missing loads tonight but in come replacements just as effective as those missing.
I’ve said before that the lack of atmosphere at Tuesday night games compared to a Saturday reflects somehow to the match meaning I'm never quite as confident going into them. We’ve had a run of low key night game 1-0’s and could definitely see a repeat tomorrow. Difficult to predict a team...
We’ve a run of six games or so now against teams lower down before the final six against the big hitters. Would love to be in a position where we can get far enough in front to afford draws against the other top 7 sides.
