Page 2 looks like Welshie is talking to himself, so I'll post something - if I can think of anything :?

Anyone listening to commentary?

Do Walsall fans chant any more?

A creditable performance first half. We are playing proper football.

Shame there aren't more here to see it.

With the half-time score being 1-0, Sky has us at 8/11 to win, the Dons being 9/2.

How little they know about our ability to give games away :roll:

Elsewhere, Matt Richards scores for the Slops to equalise against Notts County with a 61st min penalty.

...and Alex Nicholls scores for the Cobblers against the real Wimbledon!!!

And elsewhere, Sheffield United are down to 9 men at Scunthorpe. Scunthorpe currently 1-0 up, their first points of the season (so far).

At the Banks's's', MK have just had their 3rd yellow card - we're little angels we are :wink:

Edit... make that 4 yellows for MKD :roll:

First Walsall substitution after 76 minutes - Jake Jones on for Baxendale.

I hope Dean knows what he's doing..... :?

Andy Taylor booked, 83 minutes. :(

Managed to go at the last minute.

Whilst we rode our luck, today was most pleasing. Holden and Butler were absolutely immense second half, and MK Dons just had no other ideas other than lumping it. Grof still terrifies me off crosses but he seemed to grow in confidence too. Baxendale and Featherstone also superb. Mk Dons are a very big team and they didnt outmuscle us at the business end of the pitch.

Grof - Solid and the two saves he had to make were good.
Purkiss - Did alright considering he runs in treacle, a good footballer though.
Holden - Immense second half, still a bit slow, and was caught out in the first half a couple of times.
Butler - The same
Taylor - Sadler Mk2. Solid

Baxendale - Ran himself into the ground, had a very good game.
Featherstone - A proper passer, we have found a bit of a cheap gem here.
Cuvelier - Faded second quite badly but in the first half had that extra but of class, put it this way hes better than Alan Smith.

Paterson- Great game defensively,best game hes had for a while in that sense. unlucky not to score from a good run, which he could have passed instead.
Bowerman - Fed off scraps, put himself about.
Hemmings - He's been told to pass it and keep the ball but wish hed have a run with it occasionally.

Subs
Jones - Slotted in midfield.
Williams - Hes a big fella, could have worked himself a chance if the referee/linesman hadnt been such a divvy.
Taundry - Left foot, we would have won 2-0.
Shoutout to the stag do guy, that pink condom suit must have been fecking hot!

I didn't rate featherstone after Doncaster. I am delighted to have been proved wrong about him. His passing today was sublime he is what we have needed and better than Peterlin.

Why do some people have an obsession with former players scoring? Move on.

The atmosphere was better today the chants seemed a few db higher and the tribute to gadsby was a nice touch.

Latvian summed it up pretty well to be fair, Featherstone was a different class today, calm, composed and can pick a pass. The majority of the second half was uncomfortable, but credit to the lads, they dug deep and made it difficult for MK. Very pleasing performance, nice to see Holden grab his first goal of the season too!
