[Willenhall Saddler]

Walsall 2 Oldham 1

[NEWPORT SADDLERS DAD]

If we don't win this I am going to post on the Smith out thread,and start a Kelly out thread.

[DYSaddler]

Walsall 2-1 Oldham - A tight game but back to winning ways. I reckon just over 4,000 for this one with a bumper 5-600 from Oldham after their shock result last Sunday.

[We-ARE-Walsall]

Walsall 2 Oldham 1

David Kelly to come off the bench and score two late goals at the Street End, to the chants of Super Sub Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Alan Buckley still to persist with Ally Brown next weekend, then sign Steve Elliot.

[latviancheese]

2-2 Draw.

[JonnyOwen]

Intresting to see what peoples teams would be, will be a big toss up between Baxendale, Westcarr and Taundry for that CAM spot...



:lol:

[Aldridge_saddler]

As we were against Bournemouth thank you.

[BathSaddler]

A 2-1 win, in front of 3,621, including 307 from Oldham

[walsallfcconnor]

W 2 - 1 O 4381 (411 from oldham)

[SaddlerCraig]

2-0 win for the saddlers 4300 (300 from Oldham)

I see Oldham are spending some of their FA Cup cash by bringing Chris Iwelumo in on loan from Watford. Decent signing at our level - he'll give Butler and Downing a good test.

Couldn't afford Troy the Boy then? :wink:

From BBC -

Jordan Obita - Reading to Oldham (loan)

Busiest club today? Not QPR... it's Oldham. Chris Iwelumo has already moved to Boundary Park today and Reading's teenage midfielder Jordan Obita has just followed in the Scottish striker's footsteps. The 19-year-old arrives at Boundary Park on a month's loan.

[Soton Saddler]

Lee Barnard from Southampton aswell. 2 - 2 Butler and Brandy for us. Anyone of their two new strikers to grab a brace.

[Louise]

Looking foward to seeing us succeed where Liverpool failed.
2-0 to the Saddlers, see you all there. :D

[WFC_Rob]

I think there'll be goals in this one. 3-2 to us - Grigg with a brace and Brandy with the other.

[rusky]

3-1 to the mighty Saddlers. Grigg, Brandy and Bowerman for us.

I'm suddenly feeling like we may lose this one. Oldham's win over Liverpool, coupled with the signings of Iwelumo, Obita and Barnard [all very good for our level], will mean we have to be very much on our game at the weekend. Hopefully, the Colchester result will be sufficient warning to ensure we get at least a draw, or that battling win I previously predicted. And we do have Brandy back :D

Here's hoping. Up the Saddlers.

[kshammer]

Oldham with a hangover from the cup... Walsall 3-1 winners.

Grigg (2) and Baxendale.

[WarsawPact]

From Manchester Evening News:

Midtable Walsall will be without former United starlet Febian Brandy who is suspended.

Hopefully, Oldham will be under the same impression!

Can you find a tank top, balaclava or similar knitted apparel that would provide the good fortune we require? :idea:

Has Mrs Cully got time to knit you a commemorative David Kelly blonde mullet?

[Fray Bentos is God!]

1-0 Barnard. Cross. Header. Goal.

[jeffsmate]

No benning? not even on the subs bench.

[Welsh_Saddler]

No benning? not even on the subs bench.

You'd have to think it's an injury :?

Elsewhere, as we start to look over our shoulder..... Colchester are 1-3 up at Portsmouth, and Hartlepool are still looking at a most likely escape, being 1-0 up against Notts County.

Oh, and just to demonstrate how funny a game it can be, the Villa are currently 1-2 up at Everton. :shock:
