Mr. Bonser it's time for strong leadership.

show the fans you care; sack Ishmel (I don't care if he becomes a good player elsewhere, he is an arrogant little gangsta rapper who takes himself too seriously); mullen should be farmed off to the nearest retirement home; and while you're at it Bonser, you might as well stay abroad (and don't come back).

If Doug Ellis's son is around, 'CHANGE, WE NEED'!!!!!!

It won't just be the fans leaving if people don't make tough decisions - it will be players (Gerrard's gone, Ince will be next, and then where are we heading?)

It wouldn't suprise me if Mullen is gone by the next match. Out of all 3 cups, crowds in freefall, the results and performances over the past month surely will force Bonser to act.

Money scrimping get you no where, Walsall are destined to be a mid table league one side for some years i fear.
Stadium, investment you can see there is not much there.
So dissapointing and frustrating

That would be easily our lowest home FA Cup attendance since 1914, when we were in the Birmingham League. In the 94 years since then we have not gone below 3,000 in the FA Cup.

Not really surprised at the result. That's us out of all three cups, and a glorious three home defeats too [6 home defeats in 10 this season in all competitions]. The club as a whole is totally shot at the moment, we have a manager that does not know what he is doing/wilfully not playing our best 11, we have our support in freefall and we have an owner that simply DOES NOT CARE. I said a couple of weeks ago that if we avoid relegation to League 2 in the next couple of seasons [if things remain similar to the way they are now] then it will be a minor miracle. I think that may have been too optimistic.

What a shambles.

Is THAT attendance genuine ? If so, good God, a massive swipe at the owner and manager, and I can only hope that the message is getting through to JB that "Mr cheap option" JM has to go, and right now!

Unbelievable! :evil:

Crowd confirmed on the match report of the Scunthorpe Sports Telegraph. 2,318 with approx 350 visiting fans.

That means less than 2,000 Saddlers. But Mick Kearns view is that its because ST holders have to pay for tickets, lol... This club is rotting from the inside at the moment.
