    Walsall vs 'Insert Team WIN'

    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.:crazy: Etheridge and Oztumer superb...

    Walsall vs 'Insert Team WIN'

    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.

    Midweek match: Rovers vs Walsall

    He's not had much game time yet and hasn't been given a chance in his favoured position - striker. Too early to judge for me.

    Midweek match: Rovers vs Walsall

    I didn't go last night, but from the reports I've read Rovers were the better team, especially in the second half. I'm just greedy for three points, we need them! Our form is worrying me, we only have one win (at home to Wimbledon on the opening day) and we are definitely not playing well. Our...

    Midweek match: Rovers vs Walsall

    I'm gutted considering the penalty you scored from was a foul committed outside the area. Apparently we had a "cast iron penalty" appeal rejected two minutes before your penalty as well. I don't know how to post a photo, but there is one doing the rounds on twitter that clearly shows the foul...

    Northampton v Walsall

    Horrible day, awful performance, horrid little chavs near the station too, luckily they had no balls when they realised I wasn't taking a punch unanswered. Not what I want to get involved in, especially as I'm clearly the wrong side of 50.. Northampton were easily the better team, which isn't...

    Northampton v Walsall

    Our only experienced centre back, James O'Connor is missing this game due to a hamstring injury. We'll be picking two from Matt Preston, Jason McCarthy (on loan from Southampton) and Kevin Toner (on loan from Villa) They have less than 60 first team appearances between them (McCarthy has 40 odd...

    Northampton v Walsall

    Not optimistic about this. We rarely cope well with forwards like Alex Revell. Fellow Saddlers will remember the carnage Bradford's Hanson caused last season and Revell seems a similar type. We have signed a lot of players (twelve?) since last June, but none of them are the dominant centre half...

    Walsall vs Charlton

    We haven't scored in the 3 games since the opening day win at home to Wimbledon, some injury problems too, so I'm not optimistic. For any Charlton fans venturing up by train, spend as little time in Birmingham city centre as possible. Birmingham are at home to Wolves and there are usually...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    I'm amazed that we have broken our 37 year old transfer record.. No doubt our fans will be expecting him to be as good as Messi A 20 year old right winger or striker apparently. The deal is subject to a medical tomorrow. I'm assuming it's our owner that will be having the medical, he must be at...

    Stickied League 1 Transfer Rumours/Confirmed Transfers 2024/25

    Latest rumour, as reported by the Daily Mirror, is that Watford have turned down a £20 million offer for Troy Deeney from Leicester and that we have a 25% sell on clause of any profit over the £500k Watford paid to us. Sell him now, we could do with £5 million!

    Someone posted on twitter (so unlikely then) that Coventry have offered a two year deal to Sam Mantom, he's out of contract at Walsall, but has been offered a new deal.

    League One Title Odds 2016/17

    Fully agree Saddlerrad. It looks like we will need a massive rebuild, far to early to say how we will do until we see exactly which players are leaving and who their replacements are. I think Sawyers Lalkovich & Mantom are definitely off, with better offers from other clubs, Bradshaw will...

    New Loan Rules for 2016/17

    Apparently youth loans cannot be registered outside the window - I've misunderstood the FL rules. See Freethinkers post above!

    New Loan Rules for 2016/17

    I'm not in favour of the loan system. 5 loanees on a team sheet is too many. I note that youth loans, defined as "Contract Players aged 20 or under on 1st July immediately preceding the Season in question." can still be registered when the transfer window is closed. That's if I've understood...
