Jorge
Bennett

[Exile]

Depends on which team we put out.

4-1 win I think. Got a good feeling about this game.

[Ace]

Hah. No way.

Walsall 2 - 4 Bournemouth

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Hah. No way.

Walsall 2 - 4 Bournemouth

Come on, AC, this is "like, err, our FA Cup", remember!

[PerStener]

We are going to win this... but it will be tight.
2-1

[SaigonSaddler]

2-3

An experimentation with yet another new formation (6-3-1 flat) will spell disaster.
Nice one Paul! :evil:

[PerStener]

Pead is back for this match...

I think we will convert back to a 4-4-2 tactic..

Murphy (if loan extended)
Pead, Roper, Westwood, Fox
D.Taylor/Leitao, Skora, K.Taylor, Demontagnac/D.Taylor
Larossa, Fryatt/Nicholls.

Whose going to the match?

Ill be there, Id expect a 3,000 crowd.

[Stu]

3000??? That's a bit optimistic isn't it. I see this being sub 3000 to be honest, unless there is an offer on which I've not seen.

No, I'm a season ticket holder, but I absolutely can't be ar$ed to get my ticket for this. After all, they don't come to see me when I'm bad !

I expect a 2,500 crowd, with virtually NO away fans.

[tinned]

As you may know, I can't get to many midweek games due to the wife working. So usually I jump at the chance to attend one when she's not at work.

Well the wife is off tomorrow but I just can't be bothered to go. Not just because it's an early round of the LDV but also because I just can't stand the thought of watching another episode of the Paul Merson Comedy Show. The jokes are wearing a bit thin now and the plot lines are very predictable.

No, I'm sorry, my £10 will stay firmly in my wallet and not be wasted on watching another game of formation roulette hosted by Merson.

I was being optimistic but throw in the fact that its £8 for season ticket holders if you buy your ticket before the game.

with virtually NO away fans.

Some Walsall fans cant even travel 5 mile to watch their team in the LDV vans tomorrow! so I think Bournemouth will do well to bring 30, Geoff.

[bournemouthsaddler]

Offical site says Constable can play. I think a few reserves will be included as Weekend game is much m,ore important. I would play Rene in goal for the experience, and the other young winger. We cannot lose as i will be at work.

[PerStener]

I hope we play our normal squad so we get this settled formation that everone searching for,
I go with our best setup in the midle of the park and in defence and try out the reserves on the wings and up in attack..

Larossa, Nicholls or Constable to take two of the forward places... forwards and D.Taylor and Sztybel or Demontagnac as wingers.
We have to win this to get a momentum and confidence in time for saturdays league match.

[Mirek]

Merse is taking the game against Bournmouf serious and has said Bournmouf are a different clarse and dont deserver their league position and we need to treat them with respect

Sort of a Christmas tree formation with a flat back 9 ( 10, 1) The gameplan is for Rene just to hoof it to Fryatt to tumble into opposition penalty area and get a penalty.

Team to be

Gilmartin

Pead, Gerrard, Westwood, Staunton, Roper, Bennet, Harkness, Dann, Fox

Fryatt

I think we should bring in a new central defender on loan.. we have to few central defenders right now :D

[Mirek]

Forgot to mention the subs bench

Whalley
McManus
Bonser
Rev M Butt
The bird with the big tits out of the club shop <Name unknown>

Do I get Merse's job?

[Neil Ravenscroft]

I ain't going, but I've got a sicknote.

[geoffwhiting]

I ain't going, but I've got a sicknote.

Can I get a sick-note too Neil, I'm sick of watching Walsall under Merson !

[Neil Ravenscroft]

To be quite honest, Geoff, I'd think twice about it if I were fit enough to go!

[Neil Ravenscroft]

Preview now on line.

[LankeySaddler]

I ain't going to this one! Its a choice of Ian Brown or this!! Hmmmmm this is a tough choice though!!!

[Magic Man Fan]

I wasn't going to go but I've just found out the other half is out so I might as well make the short journey and have a couple of pints in the process.

I think we'll win this one. 2-1.

bournemouth - Constable is registered from today to play but I think it was stated somewhere that he won't be joining up with us until Wednesday because he's got things to sort out with his job etc. I hope this is wrong because it's the perfect opportunity to give him a run out and see what he can do.

[PerStener]

I would go if I where nearby.... thought everybody would be interested to se Constable in his first match.

He might not be playing!!!

[WFC_Rob]

The Birmingham post says that Constable will be involved tomorrow, probably as a sub.

Either way it ain't going to tempt me down there. I'm sure I'll see Constable sometime in the future. Although a later apperance may mean that the lad's natural flair and motivation will have been bled out of him by the incompetent fool :cry:

[Saddler Jim]

I won't be there,don't think its worth it,the crowd well 2,000 if they'r lucky.
