In what's turning into one of the most boring off seasons I can remember for a long time, we finally make a new signing...a 3 year deal with errera to produce our kits. Though not the news of a new goalkeeper, defender, winger or striker which we are still in desperate need of, the news … Continue reading Finally a new signing…a kit deal
So with the season now at an end I thought I would rate the players on their performances through 16/17. As I write this every player is still a under contract at Walsall FC (or have been on loan, with the exception of Osbourne and CMac). I will only be rating players who made 10 appearances … Continue reading Player Ratings 16/17
Bittersweet. That's how I would describe the season coming to an end. Saturday afternoons at the Bescot are a place that brings my friends and family together. I attend games with people who have travelled from from Cambridge, Leeds, Wigan and Manchester, coppers and bar managers who decide to book holiday days to follow the … Continue reading Final Thoughts – Saddlers season ends
Apology not accepted Jon. (I've waited 24 hours before writing this to try and calm down...it hasn't worked). The Saddlers come away having lost to soon-to-be 4th tier Coventry City in one of the worst (if not THE worst) performances of the season. After the boys drew with Charlton and then lost to Fleetwood in … Continue reading SORRY’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
The reds left it late but finally we taste victory again. Though we scored in the 85th minute we could have easily been ahead after just 25 seconds. A cross from the left hand side evaded everyone and fell kindly to McCarthy at the back stick who's driven shot rebounded off the far post only to … Continue reading Leaving it Late
Another lead thrown away and another 2 points dropped rather than 1 point gained. A frustrating afternoon for the boys in red and the nearly 1200 fans that made the short journey to Shrewsbury on Friday afternoon. Kieron Morris opened the scoring in the first half, sending the fans into rapturous celebrations and giving the … Continue reading Spoils shared in Shrewsbury
Where do we draw the line? Many of you would have seen this week a tweet from Neil Etheridge basically calling out a fan for suggesting they would 'cheer' had they seen the incident that lead to him taking an injury this week. I tracked a lot of the different reactions from players, ex-players and more … Continue reading Saddlers on Social Media
He's done it! It's been a long time coming but we finally got to celebrate a Makris goal and it was a strike worthy of the wait. A lovely cross field ball was nodded down perfectly by Edwards and the Cypriot took a touch to control and another to volley into the roof of the … Continue reading HE’S FINALLY DONE IT
Another home win for Bradford, hardly unexpected. We could have played our best football of the season at Valley Parade Saturday and still come away with a loss. Bradford have truly turned their home ground into a fortress and have not lost a league home game all season, so coming away empty handed probably hasn't … Continue reading Lackluster
It's finally over! The international break has finished and we can start looking forward to domestic football once more. Last week I wrote BUSY MONTH AHEAD -PART 1 on the first three games of April, so today I will be focusing on the final four games of next month. My views and opinions will no … Continue reading BUSY MONTH AHEAD – PART 2
