In the abscence of a Exeter WFC report can always give you a report on the super city derby

'Waitakere 1 v 3 Auckland City

we woz robbed - two own goals , 14 corners (one straight into the net for WU only goal) to 2 , 80% possession in there half and we still managed to through it away and Neil Emblen was well annoyed at a couple of stages almost DD Like , he actually got off his chair and waved arms about.

- good to see somehow though 1100 people were there must be close to record for an every day game at Fred Taylor Park and they didnt run out of Chips or L&P.'

It was an entertaining game. When the Saddlers played passing football they looked really good, but often wanted to play one pass too many. It was a good team performance, and the players looked totally dejected as they trudged off at the end.

Grof mades some outstanding saves especially one in the first half that he saw very late from a free kick. Later on Manny Smith also painfully blocked one that looked a goal all the way.

Gnakpa, if that is the right spelling, improved as the game went on and started to look like a footballer, showing some nice touches. The rest of the team showed plenty of energy and enthusiasm. Chambers and Wilson look a good pairing,and Nicholls looked sharp up front in the first half.

We just lack a killer punch, and although I thought we looked safe we paid the price in the end. We looked the better team and should win the replay. Saying that, it is the saddlers and I will not be backing them with any of my hard earned !

Fine performance from the team, performances are starting to turn and only a matter of time before that reflects into results. Great Walsall fiollowing, healthy turnout in the Stagecoach Stand alongside us and also a few on the terrace. Big kudos to those who joined in with our singing 'Walsall are back..'

Sure we can finish them off in the replay and gain sweet revenge for our defeat in the League.
