This is a hard one to call. Our home form is poor but we are nothing if not unpredictable.

1-1

About time we surprised someone, and about time someone underestimated us (pitiful as that may seem).

2-1 Walsall.

It will be interesting (as ever) to see Mullen's team selection. It wouldn't surprise mr if he went 4-5-1 leaving Jabo on the bench.
I'll go for a boring 1-1 draw. Ricketts to score, 3200 in attendance.

No it won't - there will be all the usual lack of thought about tactics, the opposition this week, etc. We won, hence it'll be exactly the same side except that possibly Jabo might come back in for Deeney. :wink:

I'll go for a draw too. They're a good side, but will be missing Luke Chadwick who has played a big part in their recent run of form.
1-1. Ricketts with our goal.

Can I just add that this season I'm really loving the impromptu comments on the match threads regarding potential supporter actions at the match. A totally unique feature, having visited many oppo sites this season, and very, very funny.

Thanks, fans - that's part of what makes Walsall become The Saddlers. OUR club.

Our away form is better than our home, I suggest we play in the black kit and with very few Saddler Fans there on Saturday it will seem like an away game anyway.
Mullen to do his favourite and only tactic of 1 lone striker 5 man midfeild, and us despite Dongs having 95% of possesion to sneak it with our only attack of the game. !-0 to us.

:D

I'd love to, but I'll be penned in the Family Planning Stand, surrounded by many children, some parents, and having Queen Crimson moan in my ear about 'whatever do you see in this?' and 'How much longer til we can all go home?'.

At last year's game v Luton (the one Money described on WM as a great game), she was dead right. Hoping for a better event than that 0-0, freezing cold bore-fest. :(

5-0 To Walsall, Ricketts to get a hat trick, Jabbo to score two on his return, and the referee will send his self off.

2-2 Draw.Mark Wright to get both proving he is not a wimp by battering Gerrard over the hoardings and breaking away for his first goal and clattering Clayton into the back of the net for his second and doing a finger on lips shush sign to us lot.

I agree! Although the attendance will be 3,825 seeing as I'm going. First match of the season for me - what's the odds on it being a boring 0-0 with 40mph northerly winds and snow showers!!! :o
