Walsall Match Thread (4 Viewers)

[Covstar]

So after our first away win last weekend, are things going to look up now and we put on a good run of results or is it going to be back to the usual drab, uninspiring performance and losses leading to the return of Pressley Out threads after today ?

My prediction for today : 3-2 Thriller in favour of City with Reda Johnson proving a point and scoring a Hat-Trick including a penalty in the 93rd min. Manset to score for Walsall too.

i got this one down as 2-2 probably be the same as the crawley game

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Dion Kelly-Evans not in the U18's squad so most likely starting or on the bench.

Game has got a draw written all over it but Walsall to win if neck on the line. I still think we are far from convincing but happy for a solid 3-0 performance today to shut me up.

 

[Kingokings204]

Interestingly the bookies have Walsall as favourites for the match. Slightly surprising

 

[6 Generations]

Don't worry about Walsall being favourites. I'll put a bet on them !!

 

[Evo1883]

Score draw i reckon , sell out as its a local derby

 

[mrtrench]

Can see Clarke getting a few today. 3-0 to Walsall

 

[Nick]

2-1 to us I think

 

[sw88]

2-2 draw for me. Manset to score a blinder and make Pressley wish he'd kept hold of him (or not)

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Wonder if we will continue with Haynes in midfield?

I reckon so, if Walsalls defence is as suspect as it has been in previous years he will cause havoc!

They have the best defensive record in the league

Oh! Still think he can do a decent job

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Definite draw, so I'm going for a 3-1 away win.

 

[skybluejelly]

Quite confident of a win again today ..had £20 at 7/4 and aron martin to score first and anytime...

 

[wingy]

Is Jackson on the Bench today ???

Intriguing .

 

[ccfc unlimited]

feel a win today start of the comeback

 

[Grendel]

Pitch looks dire.

 

[wingy]

Here we Go then!!

 

[SkyblueBri]

What team have we put out?

 

[wingy]

Under early pressure ,how many there today lads?

 

[stupot07]

Walsall giving us an early football lesson - pass and move.

We get the ball, pass and stand still.

I'd guess at 8.2k

What team have we put out?

Same as last week minus Phillips through injury. Everton youngster starting.

He's settled in well too.

We've not caused little problems and giving Walsall a lot of time on the ball. Shots restricted to long shots though

We hate shooting don't we! Then again I suppose we have to get near their goal to register a shot

sound's like we're too narrow ,and fleck seems to be giving It away relentlessly.

 

[sw88]

Haynes looks lost today. Hesitating quite a bit too

 

[Grendel]

Yes flecks passing is very poor. No width at all. Just dire.

 

[wingy]

25 gone 3 attempts at getting the ball in their box ,turgid.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

The 'we need a big meaty ball winner central mid' brigade is being exposed here by a nimble Walsall team who are passing it around our central midfield like they're statues

 

[stupot07]

Flecks been shocking so far. Is there a clause in his contract that says that everyone must pass to him at every opportunity, even if he's not the best option?

It's almost as if he's playing out of position.....
