2-0 down from a corner. Two Stoke shots=two goals. Saddlers more of the play but not a single shot yet!

Shots are overrated.

Paul Jewel on sky sports...... "Walsall are knocking it round like a premiership side, but have no striker up front".

And Westcarr wastes a chance to punish a Stoke slip when in a good position.

Speaking of strikers (or even potential strikers), anyone know why Lalkovic isn't named anywhere tonight??? :?

If even he can see it, then its bleeding obvious :roll: . The failure to pick up a decent striker really could be DS's Achilles heel.

Indeed. Is it because Chelsea don't want him cup tied?

Forgetting tonight but Dean here's a hint buy a sodding forward before September becomes a wash out, and before some dribbler starts ' wheres the money for that' dont fudge bother we all know the cash is there to aquire someone

Lalkovic's hamstring injury is not completely healed so he's not being risked tonight.

A striker is an absolute must - I'd get Hewitt on for Westcarr now, sounds like he hasn't done a great deal yet again.

Half-time
Stoke have shown 100% efficiency in front of goal - 2 shots & 2 goals. O'Donnell hasn't made a save!
We have threatened a few times but have yet to trouble Sorensen. In fact, Jan Sorensen could have been in their goal tonight, he has had so little to do!
I hope Deano uses the Grigg money wisely to solve our striker problem as he clearly doesn't trust Hewitt.

How about asking politely if we could have Peter Crouch on loan? :lol:

Thanks Registered. I've just noticed that Lalkovic played in the First Round at Port Vale, so cup-tied he ain't. It just shows how exposed for quality options we are without Lalkovic and Adam Chambers in the side.

The second half starts with Stoke making a forward substitution....I would have thought it was us who should be looking at subs :?

Westcarr is never going to be a 15 + goals a season striker. An average league 1 player with some good qualities, can't help but think we would still be unbeaten in the league if we still had Grigg up front.

20 minutes to go - surely time to risk even a reserve striker? Hewitt on for Featherstone, I say....... :?
