Makes missing the game with man-flu a positive bonus, the wasted £10-er on the season ticket seems great value :evil:

For whatever reason our home form seems to have crumbled at just the wrong time. However we still have 45 mins to get something out of this.

Utter shite.

We were all over them and then fell asleep.
They could have been 4-0 up by now.

And the fellas down the pub wondered why we weren't too overconfident about getting to Wembley.

The answer - we've watched all our home games this season!!

Scunthorpe are there for the taking and we've shot ourselves in the foot!!

They've had three shots, ONE on target and are 2 up! :evil: Assisted by an OG! :evil:
WTF is going on? Whatever happened to "the best defence in the league" ?(Ref: two weeks ago) :evil:

Why won't the site let me write rude words?

And he's really fudged us, too, today.

Home hoodoo seems to be continuing. :(

Just as well Wembley is an 'away' game, if we get there!

Unfortunately the game "to get there" is at home.

The frustration is that the goals we're conceding are coming from idiotic mistakes.

Why can't we perform against mediocre / unfashionable sides? Need to start creating some bloody noise and atmosphere the lads must forget they are playing a competitive game!

A result is not a 'result' until 90 minutes is over Phil. Ever heard of trying to support the side instead of being so eager to stick the knife in at the earliest opportunity every time we aren't doing so well? And I'll say it again, Walsall is a mediocre club in the grand scheme of things.

If your at the game then why the hell are you posting on UTS anyway? Football has changed....

Preston losing also, so not in the run of form they enjoyed of late.

That's the Preston side that we've 'luckily' beaten home and away this season.

By an aggregate score of 5-1.

Exactly! Can we do a home game where we concede less than 2 goals? Not at the mo!

Probably because it's half time, and there is little else to do at the Bonks's's for 15 minutes!

Fudgerama! :x

Conceding a third goal at home, not much way back now.

So that's 9 goals conceded in last 3 home games. If we continue that pattern... :?

EDIT: 4th goes in. This smacks of Swindon again...literally. :cry:

Take Sawyers off and give Frodo a go in that role, if that's what he really wants and apparently best at.

Thought there was a good chance we'd lose today, but didn't expect a pasting.

The inconsistency of this team is quite astounding.

Wow :oops:

First of all our defence is good, then it's poor. Home form is okay then it's poor.

Consistently inconsistent in every way!

A result like this at home to Scunthorpe is in no way acceptable
