No idea how many, but a massive hammering, what more can we now expect from this embarrassment of a "team"?

This has disaster written all over it, after yesterday can't see anything but a heavy defeat.

When the season started I felt we would struggle to score but defensively we would be ok, after it was the defense that kept us up last year. Now the defensive is a sieve leaking goals at will , Grof is a liability , the back 4 seems flat and square.

I think we may enter the record books at Crawleys biggest win whatever that was.

186 saddlers and 6 idiots reliving a seen from Brentford behind the goal with a banner.

Have arranged a weekend in London to fit in with this. Mrs Hull Saddler going to the theatre, whilst I go to match.
Not sure who will have the better afternoon!

On current form, to borrow a phrase from Terry Pratchett, we're gonna get cheesed. It's like getting creamed, but much, much worse!

That said, I'll go for a fluke 1-1.

If Hemmings is anywhere near the team, we may as well not bother turning up. The same goes for Taundry (who, thanks to Tuesday's needless inevitability prolonging equaliser, has bought himself another five games)...

Looking forward to this now.

First time here, so anyone know any boozers for before/after?

We'll draw, 1-1. There will 193 of us lot, rekindling the spirit of 90-93 when we always used to go to places like this with fairly small numbers with fairly limited hope but still made it a good Walsall day out. To participate in the spirit of this I hope Smith plays Rod Mcdonald up front with Tony Grealish in midfield.

Unfortunately not. It's a reference to you but also a reference to the track 'Rio' by the Australian band Bumblebeez. Have a lovely time!

I reckon this will be the game that starts to turn things around. I am going for a well earned 2 -2 draw. Hopefully, the new keeper will be brimming with confidence and help settle the defence. I also hope Brandy gets a start because, as the rest of the team have declined, he (and Benning) has shone. I have been critical of Brandy on UTS but I think his indifferent cameo performances were due to lack of fitness following his hamstring problems. He was my MotM on Tuesday and I was impressed with his attitude last Saturday when he came on.

Mat Sadler to score his second league goal for the Creepy Crawleys.

2-0 win. @Taundz to get both before sending the hat-trick penalty into realms that Felix Baumgartner can only dream of.

Crawley fans have been moaning about how direct they are in recent weeks. So we play a team consisting of Hemmings, Brandy, Mantom, Paterson, Featherstone, Grigg and Richy T - not sure you could get more deluded. That's worryingly lightweight. I'd have gone.
