Interesting! A little risky with no keeper on the bench but might work out for us. Who would go in goal if Ince had to come off? Do we have a designated 'outfield keeper' a la Rio Ferdinand?! :D

I reckon it will be a 451 as you've said above Dave, at least for the firs 60 mins anyway and see how the game is panning out.

Should be an interesting afternoon!

Is Nicholls injured? He hasn't figured for the last couple of games even on the bench. I think he offers more of a goal threat than Deeney so would rather see him there, but if he's crocked obviously that explains it.

I would agree with that Bristol. Deeney was not up to it when he came on during Tuesday's game, would pick Nicholls ahead of him at the moment. Nicholls played for the reserves at Oldham in the week, so maybe he picked up a knock there, or is just not in DD's thinking for the 1st team squad at the moment.

Agreed with JJ and Bristol , disappointed not to see Nicholls on the bench unless he's unfit , surprise to see Ishy on the bench to be honest

Wish the commentators on Saddlers World would commentate on the action, rather than waffling endlessly.

"Outstanding rear guard performance although the hosts had more of the play Ince was hardly ever troubled " according to WM.

Very pleased with the result and performance hopefully we have stopped the rot , we are still in a play off place its all to play for.

a caller on WM just said Dobson made all the difference in midfield . Roper at the back awesome surely that can't be right :wink:

Drives you absolutely mad. The last 10 minutes was like sitting in the pub next to two old geezers discussing.................well something.
