The central midfield is absolutely non existant. Fleck and Finch are holding hands in front of the back four. Until Pressley realises the importance of the midfield this turgid shite will continue. Set pieces are our only hope of having shots here.

First thing Finch has done all game is to concede a foul but get away without a booking

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

True, but he played it better last week and I know one game doesn't make it a new position, but today it's like he's forgotten what his job is.

What position is he playing? All the midfielders seen very central and bunched.

 

[sw88]

A shot! We've had a fooking shot!! Just wide after a deflection

 

[Grendel]

News flash: we've had a shot

I don't know and I don't think he knows either

Fleck narrowly wide with a massively deflected shot.

Jonstone sounds like our best outlet currently .

Tbf to him he's put two great balls into the box but neither striker have got near, but have applauded the cross....

We've had a shot, what more do you want?

League 1 football... Who knew

 

[sw88]

Their number 2 has all the space in the world! Fortunately Walsall don't seem to be using him half as much as they could be

 

[sw88]

OBrien keeps making the same run but none of the midfielders are reading it

Regardless of individual quality at least Walsall pass move get in crosses and attempt shots.

We don't.

 

[kg82]

Through the middle of 2 defenders down the centre of the pitch? He makes that run a lot and no one ever picks him out. Too clever for us

Was going to go today but got booked for Xmas shopping instead. Looks like I dodged a bullet so far.

I thought we were supposed to have one of the most gifted midfield passers in the league?

Same as

 

[sw88]

Another shot!!!!!

Great ball in by the Everton lad, finds OBrien who stoops low to head well but keeper saves well. Corner leads to nothing

Dod i mention that this was dire? We'll be down to Walsall size crowds soon, Had enough, I think.

He is good at passing to the opposition.

Linnel doing his best as usual to gloss over the inadequacies of the squad.

Finch poor. Fleck giving possession away too easily. Nouble goes missing too often. Madine trying hard. Everton lad best of a bad bunch. OBrien not used enough but when he's trying to cross his crosses are poor. Allsopp not really tested. Haynes looks lost and unsure what his role is.

Nah just being pedantic over a text from a fan of 50+ years suggesting we're hardly likely to be attack minded with 5 CB's in the side ,potentially

we have ,however two of those have produced the most in terms of Crosses.

 

[wingy]

Sounds more like It this half.

 

[sw88]

Allsopp keeps it at 0-0 with a good stop and another Waslall player slips so can't connect to the rebound

 

[wingy]

Allsop has definitely returned stronger for his time out.

Game On!!!

 

[sw88]

Madine with an absolute screener from about 35-40 yards, just at the right height for keeper to recover and palm it away

 

[stupot07]

Cracking effort by madine. This is still poor.

[wingy]

[sw88]

Swanson on for Haynes. Good sub decision for a change
