Whilst I totally welcomed the midweek victory and much needed 3 points we have to be realistic. Walsall were dreadful, possibly one of the worst teams I’ve seen for quite some time. They outplayed us for most of the first half, and must of felt shocked to be 1-0 down at half-time when they could / should of been at least 2 goals to the good.
The sending off obviously changed the dynamics of the match, and although Pugh was unlucky to of received the second yellow, the ref was having a shocker and missed what looked to me like an obvious red card for Rory a few minutes earlier.
Do I think the squad we have now is better than it was at the start of January? On paper yes. However many of the squad are lacking in game time and are not ‘match ready’.
I predict the score will show Swindon 2 Scunthorpe 0 at full time.
