I'll do me best for the goals (goals, what are they then??) - chips I can't provide, not even for myself!! :D

According to the five minute FIFA14 game on my kindle this morning we will win 3 - 0. Sawyers and two from Westcarr, both from positions similar to the shot that hit the post against Gillingham.

Stevenage 14-17 101 Walsall 21-12 138
Dean Smith to complain about a mark that wasn't given and an effort touched through for a behind.

Starting line-up against Stevenage......

O'Donnell

Benning
Downing
Mantom
Butler
Chambers

Sawyers
Chambers

Lalkovic
Brandy
Westcarr

Substitutes: Taylor, Featherstone, Lewis, Baxendale, McQuilkin, Bakayoko, Ngoo

[Welsh_Saddler]

Again, we are the pre-match favourites (I wish the bookies wouldn't do this!)......

Stevenage to win............19/10
The draw..................... 9/4
Walsall to win................ 7/5

And yet, with Walsall favourites, the favourite score quoted is 1-1 (at 9/2) :?

On paper, a strong side. Let's hope they've got their shooting boots on.

Early scoring (elsewhere, as always...)

Shrewsbury Town 1 Peterborough United 0 (6 min)

Troy Deeney adds a few more thousand to his value by opening the scoring for Watford at Derby.

That is not unusual Welsh. Given that 0-0, 1-1 and 2-2 make up the vast majority of draws, with 1-1 being the most common. There are far more likely occurring scores for the win 1-0', 2-0, 3-0, 2-1, 3-1 etc.

[Welsh_Saddler]

pneThor will be happy........ Preston 1 Gillingham 0 (8 min)

Swansea 1 Villa 0
Baggies 1 West Ham 0
Sloppies now 1-2 with Posh
Notts County 1 Swindon Town 0
Rotherham United 0 MK Dons 1

Same old, same old.
Last week 'we need to start preparing for next season'
This week 'we don't need to change much to be a top six side'
61-39 possession to start with, I note.

So, we're going to retain all these players then, are we?
Not looking good for Hewitt, unless he's injured.

You're doing well on the goals - pity they are all elsewhere.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Shrewsbury Town 1 Peterborough United 3 now....you can wave goodbye to the Sloppies as they are relegated at this rate.

Villa have equalised at Swansea, 1-1 now. (Edit... it's now 2-1 to Swansea!!)

Colchester United 1 Brentford 0

Just over half an hour gone at Stevenage - we're having shots (5 so far, but only 1 on target), and we've had 3 corners (apparently taken by Westcarr!!). Stevenage are leading 6-3 in terms of fouls, but we're still having 53% of the possession.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Stevenage 1 Walsall 0 :( :( :(

[latviancheese]

Same old same old. Lots of possession....

[Guest]

Stevenage 1 Walsall 0 :( :( :(

Not quite what I was looking for...

[Welsh_Saddler]

Benning booked. Is it going to be "one of those days" ????? :roll:

Approaching half-time, Leyton Orient 1 Tranmere Rovers 0
Sloppies 2 Peterborough 3 ...... too little, too late
Preston 1 Gillingham 1

Half-time at Stevenage, still 1-0. Expect Bakayoko and/or Ngoo early in the 2nd half ???

[jeffsmate]

Or the toppest tip, don't bother going and get some from the local chippy.

Particularly if you live near one that sells orange chips - one in Darlo as I recall.

Best orange chips by a country mile are the chips from the square New Invention were i live.

[derbysaddler]

Tediously familiar.

So, since Jan the 25th at Notts County we have won a massive 2 games, and only scored more than one goal in a game ONCE.

So far 2014 has been an absolute waste of time as far as this football club is concerned.

[NEWPORT SADDLERS DAD]

Well at least no one will be after our x ginger Mourinho,he can revert to just ginge.

[Welsh_Saddler]

I'm seriously worried about my "top half of the table" bet......... :shock:

[SaddlerCrewe]

Benning :)
1-1

and now Westcarr 2-1 to the Saddlers

:P :P :P :P :P

[IHTC.]

1-2 rubbish Westcarr

[IHTC.]

I'm seriously worried about my "top half of the table" bet......... :shock:

If we hold on to this win we should be ok :D

[JJunior9]

[Sadders]

Finally scored 2 and then concede 2.

[Welsh_Saddler]
