BBC websites seem to be taking a day off...I'm relying on Sky sports website at present.

Elsewhere it's now Rotherham 3 Gillingham 0

and Stevenage 1 Shrewsbury Town 1

and Tranmere Rovers 1 Colchester United 0

and Preston North End 1 Bristol City 0

The whole system seems to have crashed, so I'm reduced to doing the same :(

A bit frustrating to say the least. I can't bear the thought of losing to this lot at home.

No shots on target in the first half for us, compared to their two, one of which they scored.

On the basis of those statistics, improvement required in the second half if we are to get anything out of this.

Come on you Saddlers.

Edit...Second half begins, and no team changes :?

A little over 30 minutes to go...we've had 9 shots, one of which was on target (from James Chambers!!!!!) - where's the strike force??

Edit... Hemmings on for Lalkovic, 63 min

I, along with a LOT of others have been calling for another player to be bought in - this player has to be a striker. When will the club do this? We can't till January but I can't say I wasn't surprised we didn't get in someone before the Loan deadline.

If the club and management are serious about challenging for the top 6 then they will invest where we need it. It's blindingly bloody obvious now.

Let's hope we turn this around today but still the point will remain: we have replacements and strength in the squad all over the pitch bar where it matters most: a bloke to put it in the back of the next.

Incredibly frustrating.

Losing 2-0 against a god awful team, O'Donnells fault for not claiming a ball Butler had to clear for a throw in.

All rather desperate, if we lose this one after the frustrations of Tuesday night, we are heading for the mediocrity of mid table or worse, rather than aiming for the play off's, and with no cup run, the season may drift into obscurity by mid season.
Come on me babbies we should be beating they likes of Port fail!!! :(

Yeah, but he only changed the one! If the front three aren't performing, at least bring on 2 to freshen it up!

Disgusted. I have no idea of the crowd but, before the rent rip off Us against Vale would pull in at least 6k. No ambition AGAIN.
