walsall 1 Scunthorpe 1

hooper

[tape66]

let the defeat commence

1-1 :roll:

[adjisaddler]

there caining us now .... hooper is the hitman for them... could of been 3-1 to Scunthorpe within 2 minutes

[Jolly Johnny]

Forgive what may be a silly question, but is the Scunthorpe goalkeeper )Joe Murphy) THE Joe Murphy ???

Yes it is. He's in his 3rd season there I think now. Always thought he was a good keeper and got a bit of bad treatment from a few who loved to criticise him. He was certainly better in his second spell with us and looked trimmer etc.

If only we had some experienced defenders at the club who would help see us through such sticky patches in games. :roll:

Well, when you don't play proper fullbacks what do you expect. In fact, we are desperately weak down both flanks.

[adjisaddler]

half time -1-1

Im not so confident now .. mick kearns says there stepping up a gear and as they have seemed to able to cut our defence so easily in just 2 minutes its worrying .Mullen needs to give the team talk of the season to liven us up.

[Welsh_Saddler]

The stats make grim reading...

Shots on target Walsall 2 Scunthorpe 7
Corners Walsall 1 Scunthorpe 3

Let's see what amazing tactical moves Jimmy Muddle makes at half-time (but I'm not holding my breath)

[loop]

We will win 7 - 1 :mrgreen:

[gerryhatrick]

Four internationals ( at various levels ) plus Nicholls, and Boertin, on the bench.

It's a bloody farce.

[adjisaddler]

lol don't hold your breath .... but come on Saddlers

Just what I'd put a minute before you! :D Agree with what you say about the flanks too - the right one especially. I presume Zaaboub can't be completely match fit either after a long while out. Be interesting to see if he comes off at some point and who comes on for him! :?

Gilmartin, probably.

When you don't play your best 11 when they are available and allow favouritism to get in the way of playing your best team then you're basically doomed, if not today, then sometime in the near future.

Still, UTS. I'll try and summon some enthusiasm for the second half.

[adjisaddler]

:D he can't do any worse can he

I'm going to stay positive though for my beloved saddlers though.Come on lads

[adjisaddler]

stephen hughes off ...... On Bradley

[Jockey]

Deeney and Zabooub will terrorise their full backs this half :wink:

[adjisaddler]
