2-0 to Franchise

[Ancient Moaner]

2-0 to Franchise

Optimist! I fear another Coventry scoreline, but please not a 'Villa' scoreline! we aye that bad surely!

If he plays Grigg and Paterson again, the Ginger one trully IS a numpty.

Grigg agreed, but Paterson didn't have a bad game yesterday

Boxing Day to remember

Deano to blame the referee , the pitch and the dog invasion (why do we never get dogs running on pitches anymore)

[windowman]

Grigg agreed, but Paterson didn't have a bad game yesterday

Was injured on Saturday apparently. Hope he is fit for tomorrow.

Can sneak a win I think. 2-1

[Welsh_Saddler]

Two of the Dongs' regular midfielders are out with long-term injuries according to the BBC website - Gleeson and Luke Chadwick. This would not be remarkable were it not for the FACT that Chadwick is their leading goalscorer this season with 8 to his name. In 11 games at home they've only scored 17 - dare we hope for another clean sheet?

Featherstone will be absent again but Flo is looking good for a start, hopefully.

0-1 to Walsall, a repeat of last year will do for me :wink:

[NEWPORT SADDLERS DAD]

Been a good run for us but it will end here 3-1.

[We-ARE-Walsall]

Been a good run for us but it will end here 3-1.

:lol:

Christmas banta!!!

We have a pretty decent record at MK, so I expect Dean Smith to put an end to that, in the same way Coakley put and end to our fabulous record against Port Vale. 4-1 to MK.

We ARE Walsall.

We ARE Walsall.

Far more realistic, despite Chadwick missing, we are far too weak to contain a rampant Dons side, after all we ARE Worsul after all! Wouldn't life be great if we could ALL think......."Yeah we should win this one easy" dreams are made of this fantasy.

[Exile]

In our recent godawful winless steak we drew away against high fliers Tranmere and Crawley. Food for thought.

2-2 draw, with tinned dressing up in LED Christmas tree lights to create a distraction. Sadly Big Baz sits on him, mistaking him for a tree. :mrgreen:

[SaigonSaddler]

1-1.

[geoffwhiting]

My head says MK to win, maybe 3-1.

However, at a fleeting visit to McDonalds Wall Island branch on Xmas Eve, I noticed a car with the registration number MK02 ***, so I'll go with a rare and unexpected win for us and hope that fate is lending a hand today at a ground that has (I think) been reasonably kind to us so far.

Not very scientific I know, but stranger things have happened! :|

[rusky]

I'd take the draw, but I do have a sneaky feeling we'll take all three points in this one, and I didn't drink yesterday.

After 4 minutes we're up a place in the table, as Oldham go a 0-1 at home to Doncaster..... :D

Keeping an eye on the teams below us, both Scunthorpe and Colchester are already a goal down!
