    Most entertaining game I’ve seen for a while.
    We gave the ball away less.
    Never looked like scoring.
    Delaney – immense, Millen – excellent.
    Missed Nuttall winning a header (never got off the ground) and his burst of pace, are you sure it was him?
    Still don’t think Rowe & Grant can work in CM.

    Somebody will have to persuade the directors of Cool Silk to provide a budget for an upgrade to their ground. Any suggestions?

    Blimey I thought this was a rumour about a new owner or manager. Very disappointed.

    Strange signings it appears. We were aware that Nuttall hadn’t played much for 2 years, to me it looks like he’s never played before. He looks lethargic, 2 speeds – walk and trot, and failed to hold the ball once as far as I remember.
    Pyke has an air of invisibility about him.

    The big difference for me, 2nd half especially, was out of possession. When we had the ball we were immediately put under pressure by an opponent. When we gave them the ball, which we did frequently, we backed off and gave them as much time as they wanted to decide what to do.

    Was at pains to point out it was not him and the players that caused the problem.
    You are certainly correct about that Keith.

    Sorry MK, I can’t agree. I’m no fan of Swann and I admire Hill’s efforts but today was solely down to manager and players IMO. Decent first half but the difference in the two managers half time team talks must have been massive. At least half of our players clearly have no desire to continue in league football.

    I think you made a mistake with “the other 3 as they were” when Matheson was at RB. Millen to RB certainly.
    Thompson was on the bench last week so might get a start.
    I don’t think Feeney still has enough pace for an out and out winger, much better in a 3 playing in front of Grant.
    Not seen enough from Sinclair to pick him in front of Lewis.
    Burns definitely, not decided between Nuttall & Pyke yet, both have plenty to prove.
    Big problem is that last week Hill said something along the lines of “Rowe will always play for me.” Can’t have both Grant & Rowe in CM IMO, not enough creativity.

    Still not answering questions though. Have a read of Pat’s post above and then show some courtesy and reply. A simple “nothing” will do.

    Just another example of anti-supporter behaviour. ” Let’s get the fans out in numbers to support the team.” What me?? No I’m not going!!

    Feeney an improvement on Hippo IMO. Not sure about Sinclair yet.

    Prefer young Matheson TBH to Millen, I think he has more energy and is more of an asset

    I predict an almost every week performance.
    Playing not badly, a few half chances, blocked shots, corners for us.
    Then the opposition take advantage from a mistake by us (loose the second ball, a defender who let’s his man slip behind, losing possession in a dangerous place), and with our lack of scoring goals we cannot repair anything. Later, given away space while trying to attack, they will couterattack to a second and maybe a third goal…

    Blimey Dutch that’s sppoky! Did you buy a lottery ticket? With foresight like that you could win enough to buy the club!!

    Well based on Matheson being a £1 million pound player I’d rate our squad at approaching the £100 million pound mark.

    On the pitch 2-3 RBs, on the bench 2 LBs?????
    Interesting how we line up, 4-2-3-1 maybe?

    Hill has undertaken the job of assembling what is akin to Dads Army, and I’m no time at all is expected to turn them into battle hardened bloody paras.

    Two players over 30 – hardly Dad’s Army m’Lord!

    I don’t rate Millen at all and I’m starting to worry about the lack of width when we attack.
    I want wingers who hug the line, have chalk on their boots etc…
    Stay wide and keep options available for the switch or counter!
    Then it’s all about balls into the box, good quality balls for the front lads to attack

    That doesn’t seem to be Hill’s way at the moment though SS24. He’s currently favouring the midfield diamond which could be because:-
    We don’t have any wingers he trusts and
    We haven’t had a forward that’s won a header in the opponents box for about 3 seasons.
    (Just remembered one from Jarvis, sorry)

    What a terrible and difficult watch, thankfully a great result, well done lads!
    For half an hour we looked as if the players had met for the first time during the warm up. Players had difficulty seeing the difference between white and claret & blue. Never seen such an inept display of passing EVER. I got the impression that Grant and Feeney were holding something back in order to last the 90 and not fade late on. Rory & Delaney outstanding, Millen & Manny pretty good (where did that free kick come from??) The rest really no better than average but faultless in their effort. We probably used up most of the luck we didn’t get in January. Same effort and same result on Saturday would be good, could we?

    Interesting? stats from the Oldham game.
    Oldham possession 29%
    Shots 13

    Possession football – who needs it.

    Hi all. Walsall fan here.

    Our press and fans are suggesting Taylor might be sacked if we don’t beat you, with even a draw deemed not good enough.
    Thoughts ?

    His job is almost certainly safe until Saturday evening.

    As per my previous post on this thread, you don’t offer a reason why these supporters are stayaways.
    Can’t just be a fear of catching Covid can it?

    Never answers any questions, especially those that weaken his already weak argument.
    He just can’t see that any business consistently providing sub-standard product will lose customers. Don’t forget he only wants fans not customers.

    Hill admitted we tried to sign Agard and Zanzala. Both were transferred during the first couple of weeks of January and to clubs better placed than us and probably paying more.

    And the player that scored them absent, have we ever put out a team with such little goal threat. Can any statto advise the total number of league goals scored by that team in the last 2 seasons?

    Could not understand two substitution Sinclair who looked like the only player to cause Oldhams defence problems and Nuttall the best of the front two

    Agree about Sinclair, the only thing I saw Nuttall do was miss a sitter. Pyke much the better for me.

    I think, initially, we have to trust the manager on this. It’s very common for players to flourish under certain managers and underperform with others.
    For example look at the difference in McAtee under Hurst and then Cox. Hill clearly thinks he can get more out of these players (players he knows) than others can. Hope he’s right!!
