[Magic Man Fan]

Oldham 0-3 Walsall

Jimmy Walker to score with a long direct goal kick, a overhead kick from a corner in the 89th minute, then an injury time penalty to complete his hat trick.

Just wondered, MMF, have we reached the point yet when the next match is a "must win" ? :)

[Magic Man Fan]

No. The must win game is the one when we're 2 points behind safety with 1 game left.

Oldham is pretty big though. ;)

Bearing in mind that, on that fateful final day when we might be two points from safety with one game to play, there will be other teams around us also playing and possibly picking up points and stretching that 2 points margin away from us again, I think you may be seeing this as a little too "black and white", MMF. So I'd say that maybe that last game is leaving it a tad late to describe a game as a "must win".

You're getting there though, mate. :wink: With the games running out, I wish WE'D get there, and quick!

That's why we love you Geoff. :)

My glass will remain half full until the Fat Lady has shrieked her last note.

2-1 win with goals from Macken and Gray.

Feels good man.

[BathSaddler]

A 2-1 win, in front of 4,500 or so, including 700-800 Saddlers.

Just checked their recent record - 1 win in 15 games and only 5 goals scored. If we can't beat these, knowing the position we are in, we deserve to get relegated.

[Darth Vader]

1-0 Walsall, Macken to score.

Hoping to see a good amount of Saddlers making the trip ooop norf, because It ay over yet! :D

That day has arrived big baz 1 - YOUR day - the day when, eventually, you were bound to be right. If ever your prediction needs to come true, this is it. Points and goal-difference sorted in one, massive! :)

Well mate, that's one devious way of avoiding admitting you missed the point and got it wrong! :wink:

Factually I am still correct. It's not must win until only a win will guarantee survival. FACT.

[brummie saddler]

At crewe waiting for my next train, the thought of going down does have some appeal to it :)

[brummie saddler]

In Manchester waiting for a bus to oldham, think I might be the first saddler there, any decent pubs or places there that I can waste a few hours

Used to be good in town but a bit rough. There's a couple of pubs by the ground.

That it is. Burton away would bea cracking day out.

I think another draw is on the cards here. 1-1 with Gray to score.

[Neuromantic]

Oldham have won 1 in 16. Out other two games are against Charlton and Soton.

This is a must win. A loss and we deserve to go down in my opinion; we will just not be good enough. In fact, if we do lose then we will go down.

Let's hope we win. Biggest game in years today.

[saddla]

come on you saddlers, Grigg and Macken up front. Goals machines! :D

1-2 saddlers
