According to Sporting Life, the key player is...Mark Wright.

Thats 7 home defeats in 11 games in all competitions now, losing 5 out of the last 6. We have conceded 21 goals at home already :oops: .

We have a squad that is nowhere near big enough to cope [we need at least another striker and centre half] and Mullen consistently not picking the best 11 available players that we do have.

How we are 10th is beyond me.

Just got back, Atrocious.


Nothing there, thers absolutly nothing. No quality, no fans, no football. Just alot of running around and a "manager" looking clueless.

Mk dons passed the ball nicely, but really didnt have alot going forward we just let them score 3 easy goals. MK dons defence was also showing severe weaknesses we didnt exploit because our "manager" has about 3 brain cells.

Whole team was dire, Ricketts was a lazy twonk, but had no help, but he acts like a spoilt child when he doesnt win.

Weston worked his bollocks off, you could see him getting frustrated with himself and the team

Manny smith was fine until he went absent for their second. Gerrard was fine.

And their third goal was the worst. It was a cracking shot but the team just watched mark wright run into acres and tap the rebound in.

Where was boertien? Palmer is useless at left back.

Zabooub should of been on earlier, Nicholls was dire on the left.

WILLY GUERET IS A C***, always has been always will be.

Not sure about their second goal but ince looked like he came racing of his line needlesly, but no chance with the first.

Gilmartin shouldnt even be in a womens team. he sufferes from "sticky line" syndrome.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF, not one ounce of passing from the team. Then again, there was no movement either.

Deeney should be released hes the worst player ive seen pull on a walsall shirt. HUFF PUFF fu** all ability.


PS. Mr Wright was the worst player in their team, he looked scared of the ball everytime he got it.

Yet another shambles whilst a manager supposedly not as good as Mr Mullen has led Wycombe to another victory and I believe maintaining an unbeaten run in the league.
I doubt whether I will ever set foot in Bescot/Bank's again if this shower remain in control.
I would never have even contemplated supporting another team but the commitment and determination shown by AFC Telford having been demoted 3 divisions after going bust and now clawing their way back make them much more worthy of my support and unless anything drastic happens in the very near future at Walsall I certainly will.

We are officially a shambles, from top to bottom.

Chairman doesn't care about the football.
Mullen and Schofield don't know anything about football.
The team can't or aren't allowed to play football.

Those of us that turned up today deserve a medal, or perhaps counselling.

Having sat there freezing my nuts off for that shambles, I'm just hoping that the press conference goes along the lines of:

"Well Jimmy, what went wrong then?"

"I'm what went wrong and I shall resolve it straight away by resigning"

Well, we can live in hope anyway.

That first half was without a doubt one of the worst 45 minutes of "football" I have ever endured.

A bit more effort in the second half but today was a day that made me embarrassed to be a Walsall fan.

It's a shame I've already got a ticket for next week or I wouldn't be going.

I was in Bonser mode today - my fleeting disappointment at the result more than compensated by the money I made piling into the MK Dons at 13-8. It's really the only way to salvage any sort of enjoyment from home games at the moment.

ABSOLUTE DROSS.
I never come away early but today I did - could have sat there all night and we wouldnt have scored.
We have no craft,no guile, no effort and above all no tactics ( well any that make sense!)

Just awful hoof football, its painful to watch.
We missed Jabo yes but its more than just that - we are not a team.
I noticed today we no longer do the 'huddle' at the start of the game - I know its only a small thing but it is indicative of the lack of any team spirit at all.
Later when Clayton went down and seemed to stay down not one of our players went to check he was ok - small things I know but its shows no team spirit at all and fighting qualities.

I can take loseing , but not even competeing is beyond it for me - as i feel tonight Im going christmas shopping next week cos just cant face another weekend feeling like this.

Dreadful dreadful performance. In fact the only thing I smiled about this afternoon was the scoreboard : which throughout the game had the two teams as Saddlers v Nine blank boxes, one for each letter of Wimbledon's name. Nice one.

Insane Saddler!

The 1st half was the worst half of football I have ever seen ANY team play in my life! That includes Under 10's and i'm being completely serious!

The 2nd half was a slight improvement but it couldn't get any worst. It hurts to see what's happening down there it really does and there is nothing it seems that can be done about it which frustrates the life out of me!

BONSER OUT! MULLEN OUT! SAVE OUR CLUB!
