Line-Ups:

WALSALL: Clayton Ince, Rhys Weston, Daniel Fox, Danny Sonner, Anthony Gerrard, Ian Roper, Darren Wrack, Martin Butler, Tommy Mooney, Scott Dann, Edrissa Sonko.

Subs: Michael Dobson, Paul Hall, Ishmel Demontagnac, Bertrand Bossu, Troy Deeney.

OLDHAM ATHLETIC: Mark Crossley, Neal Eardley, Rueben Hazell, Sean Gregan, Ryan Bertrand, Andy Liddell, Jean Paul Kalala, Mark Allott, Chris Taylor, Craig Davies, Michael Ricketts.

Subs: Lee Hughes, Gary McDonald, John Thompson, Matty Wolfenden, Neal Trotman


Does that mean Sonko on the left and Gerrard centre-mid again? Hughes on the bench for them.

Now that I've seen the line-up, think I'll stick with 1-0, with Mooney to score it.

Not taking chances again, by the sounds. And Mooney wonders why fans are getting frustrated.

What an utterly EMBARRASSING result today and BOTTOM again to add to it.
3-0 to a team bottom of league with 1 goal scored away is PATHETIC.

Bottom of the League and i think in all fairness we deserve to be there!!! Our performances have just not been good enough and todays effort was dreadful!!! Mr Money has got some explaining to do especially following the substitutions he made i mean Deeney in the middle of the park??!! WHY?? Dobson was on the bench!!! Substitution Sonko when he was one of the only players performing - MADNESS and for Hall of all people EVEN MORE INSANITY!!

I used to rate our management but today looked like desperation!!

Lets face it - we suck!!!

Just got back we were poor today never looked like scoring at all, we had a stint at the start of the second half but that was it.

Money has some questions to answer for taking off our best player Sonko and bringing on Paul Hall who was below par and putting a natural goalscorer like Deeney in centre midfield while Mooney wasn't performing I just can't understand it.

Very disappointed bottom of the league and from what we've all seen we deserve it.

Im going to give the following analogy to be taken into consideration.

Its like giving a master carpenter; a squirrel, 3 pieces of cake, a Phil Collins Greatest Hits CD, an umbrella, a small piece of tarmac, imitation vanilla flavouring, a sand castle and syphilis and expecting him to make a masterpiece.

Here it is!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bristol City 2-2 Burnley

Byfield 80
Byfield 86

(HT 0-0)

Appalling result obviously, matched only by the tedious "but... err" commentary on Saddo World.

Some strange decisions today, amazed he subbed Sonko when we were chasing the game at 0-1, and then left Mooney on for 90 minutes and put Deeney in midfield. Will await explanation from those who were there.

One thing I'm sure, if we go to Hartlepool with the same starting line-up as today then Andy Monkhouse will have the easiest game of his career and we will get slaughtered.

Just got back, today was typical of this season. A lackluster performance against another very ordinary side. Ok a dodgy penalty decision, but the lads just let their heads drop.

No pace, no creativity, no finishing ability.

Just got back...

All I can say is shocking performance, really didn't look like we wanted to be there at all today.

Subbing Sonko who was easily the best player on the pitch, was pathetic.

Shocking game, shocking.
