A tough one all draw.

They'll score first, but we will strike back early in the second half. Last twenty minutes will be a bit 'Alamo'.

Forest are going really well and are playing with real effect. But, the hoodoo must remain. :D

Difficult one to predict this, as I'm not confident of which side will turn up - the Walsall that plays fast and flowing football, or the Walsall that lumps it up the field and has one chance in 90 minutes

Well, one thing's for certain - Bennett won't score 'cos he 'ay playing.....

According to BBC McDermott injured playing for the reserves, Ishy likely to be on the bench.

Forest are quality (fairly consistently) and I have to say I think we'll lose 0-2 :cry:

But I always love being proved wrong :D

If that's what the BBC are reporting, can we assume McDermott's fit and Ishy will definitely start?

:lol: Offer here,

If you were to back Forest via any Bookie, they"ll take your bet / bets all day long and even longer.

Forest away to a mid table side with just 6 points between the two.

Forest have not beaten Walsall in their last 9 meetings.

Walsall have only lost one game in the last 12.

Notts forest fans know this, thats why, if their really honest, they"d take a point all day long.

COME ON , LETS GET REAL, LOOK AT THE FACTS AND IT"S 3 POINTS FOR THE SUPER SADDLERS.

:lol: Offer

:wink: Offer

Sorry to spoil a bit of winding-up and banter with our Forest friends, but it can be seen that we are not really Forest's bogey team, historically speaking. They have beaten us several times, including a league double over us in 1999-2000. It's just that they haven't managed it since February 2000! :D


Horrific schoolboy error, Leamore! I started supporting Walsall FC when we were in the third tier under Graydon, prior to our victory at Cardiff. As a result, the 2001/2 season is the first set of fixtures for Walsall v Forest I attended. We've yet to lose since.

Some people like to re-write history. Personally, egocentrics such as myself prefer to deny that there WAS any history before me (or BC - Before Crimson). 8)

:D


didnt we beat them 4-2 with 2 andy watson goals in extra time at some point in the late 90's??

or have i got the score wrong?

I think he's waiting for a double celebration of a Forest win and a 1000th post at the same time!

Let's hope he has to settle for the latter only :wink:

If you worked for WM, what would you fancy on a cold December Tuesday night, the Banks's or Barnsley? I know which I would choose.
