So where have an extra 2,000 home fans come from? Was there a special offer on? say, free entry and everyone gets a fiver for turning up? (mind you the 'good' folk of Walsall borough STILL wouldn't turn up! :( )

Two substitutions for Orient, on 68 min. Lisbie's now playing (second highest scorer....)

Orient have had four times as many goal attempts as in the first half already, and 3 corners in quick succession just before the substitutions.

20 minutes to hang on for us....should we introduce fresh legs??? Baxendale perhaps????

Sloppies 0 Bradford 1 (72 min) ----- edit, now 1-1 more or less straight away

No sympathy for Smith or any of the players.

We've had chances to put this game to bed and failed. Just no killer instinct whatsoever

A fluke apparently. A nothing shot deflected off a defender and looped over O'Donnell

Somebody and his co-philosophers: "The first goal is the most important"

Others: No, scoring more than one goal is important....ideally more than the opponents

Will Walsall win another game this season?

Has Deano had an obhoration, allowing a sub 10 minutes of play? He's probably not well, a bad curry last night perhaps?

12th will do me fine (I think I've waved goodbye to a top 6 finish) - but 12th means top half of the table, and a large cash collection from BetVictor :D :D

Without trying to endear myself to the 'We've been unlucky' comment. Look at the things that have happened on this run.

Mantom's very questionable red card at PNE, Butler's red for the Dons penalty, the slip for the Crawley penalty which wouldn't happen on another day, Downing's freak own goal and 2 deflected late goals in matches we'd have won 1-0 earlier in the season or in good form. Whether you like it or not, there's been some bad performances and a fair chunk of bad luck all mixed together. If we finish in the top half, it'l be a season we can look back and be relatively pleased about - there's plenty of place worse we could be.

MK Dons....Didn't score the first goal Dean Smith! They were two nil down at Stevenage....and scored three in the last ten minutes.....PLEASE LEARN from your rivals.

Yes and look at what else has happened:

We've not scored 2 goals once

Its a season of missed opportunity due to weak footballing philosophy and poor attack.....Walsall have squeezed out some good results against some of the top teams this season...but have been bankrupt up front and have been poor as many times as they have been good. Every team has setbacks to deal with. From a resources point of view....12th isn't that bad, but from an oportunity point of view it is frustrating because minor tactical adjustments and attacking emphasis, directness...they would have probably made the play offs comfortably.

Can someone please let Smith know that the laws of the game allow you to make a substitution before the opposition score.

The decline accelerated after the 5-1 Notts County declaration "See our attack is fine"...or something like that.

No, don't get me wrong I'm not accepting of the run. There's been some Hutchings style dross but also a good truck load of bad luck. Those things go against you when your in bad form, just like Miller's penalty miss and Eaves donkey miss at Shrewsbury went for us during November and December.

Walsall are a good side, the lack of a forward line is plain to see. The money received for the players who went to Brentford and Forest have cost you dearly.I have no idea how much you spent on the current forwards, it wasnt enough! Don't shout at me, i just speak the truth.

The draw was a bad result for both sides. :|

I see Sallian was too busy on here with his constant annoying nonsense than to actually go and support the lads again.

Why do we have to suffer this every time, yet when we win he is nowhere to be seen?

Either go to the games and support & then come on here with your thoughts or just go away.

Amazing attendance all things considered, the Orient fan was someway of his prediction of 1200 away fans though :shock:

So 3 people equates to nearly 600? I know they say you get less for your money in London but that's ridiculous...

Didn't think one of those blocks held that many :wink:
