Their goal was a bummer: if he hadn't been unsighted, I'm sure our star goalie would have had it. :D
Theoretically, it should have been ruled out for offside :evil: ("interfering with play" by blocking the goalie).
Moreover, we really should have put away one or two more of the chances that came our way - Tom was particularly unlucky with his flick and his glancing header, both kept out by an excellent goalkeeper. :(
Still, an awesome performance :D : we can beat anyone on our day - yeah, including Bratford!! 8)
Gerrin, lads!!
:D :D :D
Without that goal, if would have been much more straightforward in terms of next Sunday, but this is Walsall - we never make it easy for ourselves. So it's a two goal win for us and a defeat for Burton to be sure.
As for the offside. From the Sky highlights it looks as though the player who unsights Etheridge, is in line when the shot that comes from Cole (who looks like one for the future) comes in and is not offside.
That and apart from our blistering start, I do wish that we didn't fart about so much, we do bring pressure on ourselves. And I do wish that we would have taken some of their defenders on, instead of retreating, passing back..to the half way line and even Etheridge. Sometimes the build up is so painfully slow.
