Walsall vs 'Insert Team WIN'

[Saddlerrad]

Well, this one is going to be fun isn't it? A push back to the old days with big away followings, empty home stands and expectations of a draw being a great result. Can't see it, a decent point in isolation at Bristol Tuesday, but not enough considering who we have played and who is coming up, we also got absolutely battered for the entire of the 2nd half and relied on some good saves and awful finishing or else it would have been another defeat, a heavy one at it.

Bolton have done okay considering the financial state they are in, some good league 1 players and experienced heads mixed with some exciting younger playes. Phil Parkinson knows this league like the back of his hand. Osbourne apparently back fit for us which could make us a bit stronger down the spine, still no JOC though I believe.

Nothing but a hefty away win coming up, possibly embarassing - more than 3 etc.

Won't be surprised if we are back at 3,500 home fans either.

1-3.

I'm as pessimistic as Saddlerrad.

3 points from our last 6 games and we haven't deserved more, we've been awful.
Bolton are flying. They have never won a league game at Walsall and they've been trying since the 1890's
Today is the day they will end that run.
Expecting a comfortable away win, 3-0.

No Osbourne or Cuvelier again, although it appears we are either playing 3-52 with Edwards and Laird as wing backs, or Whitney is trying Edwards as a central midfielder, McCarthy at right back and playing 4-4-2 with Makris partnering Jackson upfront.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Edwards kindly ensuring the inevitable is probably a little more of a heavy scoreline.

Thanks Joe.

It's all his fault anyway, he's a relegation merchant.

Got Bolton on your acca? Least you have some better odds to play with now mate.

Nah.

Great timing of your post though!

Hmmmm.

Weird game is football. Not a shot last Saturday against a pretty average looking Northampton side, who have lost today.

Bolton must be horrific, Etheridge with numerous excellent saves apparently.

4 points in 2 games.

Superb victory.

Looking at your OP, what a miserable doom and gloom merchant you are..

Great result, never in doubt even after we went down to 10 men after 15 minutes.
Etheridge and Oztumer superb...

Will this stop the overreaction on every thread now saddlerrad?

After 2 games where our keeper was MOTM? No chance.

Posh away, Millwall, Scunthorpe and Sheffield United are our next 4 games.. expect 4 predictions along the same lines.

There's just no pleasing some people .

Fantastic performance, easily the best of the season. Laird, Etheridge and Oztumer were all absolutely fantastic.

Bolton won't go up playing that kind of football though. Sammy Ameobi was laughably bad.
