1-0 to Tranmere. Eddie Sonko runnng the full length of the pitch, and chipping Ince with a sumptuous lob.

latviancheese and philthesaddler to miss most of the first half due to tucking into port and a well stocked cheeseboard :)

3-0 Tranmere.

Willy Nilly travel contingent to unilaterally declare a topless day, but all wear gloves in honour of Sonko.

Err - I think you must surely know the answer to that question already sj! But to clarify, no chance mate.

I can't honestly see me going to any Walsall match ever again, certainly not at home, and certainly not while this clueless cheap option clown JM remains as manager, and even when he's sacked (as he will be eventually, and the sooner the better for the good of the club) I shall return only when JB either sells up and leaves, or demonstrates a degree of ambition that matches my own. I can't define the latter, but if it happens (fat chance) I'm sure I shall know.

Going for the same scoreline to be honest.

With Bradley out as well as Ricketts, I'd say a probable line up is a 4-5-1 of:

Ince
Palmer Weston Gerrard Sansara
Deeney Mattis Reich Taundry Nicholls
Ibehre

Muddle doesn't like picking Reich I know but can't see who else he can play unless he bungs another kid in.
Would change that team bringing Boertien in at left back but after the rumours from Boxing Day game, can't see him being in the 16 again even.
That should make the bench very interesting!! :shock: If Zaaboub can't even get in the 16 now then he never will!

Presume Clayton will be captain for this with Hughes and Ricketts out?

Probably, but I don't really think making the 'keeper captain does much. I'd give it to an outfield player who can influence the game a bit. Either Mattis or Weston would get the nod if I were in charge. But I think you're right. In the 'pecking order' it'll probably go to Clayton.

Reich, Sansara in for Rickets and Bradley. Gilmartin, Smith, Adkins Davies and Grigg on bench. No Boertien with such an inexperienced bench. Unbelievable

Strange to note after 30 mins that Tranyy have had no possession whatever, according to the BBC web site. Despite this, they have managed 7 shots and 3 corners!
