Think about something else then! :wink:

I predict a 2-1 win in front of 4612. Goals from Nicholls and Gray.

1-1 today. Jones for us, Didi Hamann for them (if he plays, hope he does, the man's a total legend).

After 30 minutes, we're holding the Dongs 0-0 - according to WM we've been pretty poor.

BBC website puts the share of play at Walsall 43%, Dongs 57%.

The only positive is that with all results as they stand we are 15th in the table!!!

Goal credited to Easter, Baldock with the assist.

Half-time is 0-1, and the statistics tell a familiar story...

Attempts on target.............. Walsall 0 Dongs 4
Attempts off target............. Walsall 1 Dongs 2
Corners........................... Walsall 0 Dongs 2

The goal was apparently a complete "gift".

Poor keeping but yes they have been threatening all game.
Gray has signed a contract and subsequently seems very disinterested.

Seems the same as last year, nothing up front which puts more pressure on the defence who concede. A good talking too seems to be needed.

As we are losing anyway (and have nothing more to lose) is it worth making an attacking substitution or two with 25 minutes to go?

Lancashire has been booked, by the way. The attendance is something over 4,000, with 693 from MK.

The problem is centre midfield. We are getting no decent possession

8 minutes to go, and Dongs make two substitutions, strengthening the defence (presumably).

Do we make any changes???? Don't be daft. :roll:

Just got back from hols.. so no prior knowledge other than the scoreline..

That looks like 442 - if so, why?!! Why play 433 all pre season and then play 442 ??

Why isn't Marshall playing? Why isn't Clayton playing ???
