No Jackson in the squad. Candlin on the bench with Tyler Roberts.

Could be a pre curser to an inevitable parting of the ways (contract notwithstanding)

Is Kory Roberts on the bench? Or Roberts, or perhaps Roberts? :wink:

[Welsh_Saddler]

Quite a few ex-Saddlers find themselves on the bench today......

Grigg at Wigan Athletic
Bradshaw at Barnsley
MacGillivray at the Sloppies

.... and yes, we do have 3 x Roberts' on our bench!!

[Welsh_Saddler]

Elsewhere .... a very early goal in darkest Lancashire - Blackburn Rovers 1 M K Dons 0 (1 min)

[Super Gabor]

Very bright start by both sides. Could be a cracking game.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Oldham's season continues downhill - Blackpool 2 Oldham Athletic 0 (15 min)

Wigan Athletic 1 Portsmouth 0 (6 min)

Rotherham Utd 0 Charlton Athletic 1

Gillingham 0 Southend Utd 1

[Micky Saddler]

[Super Gabor]

Edwards shot goes close. Just past left post

[Welsh_Saddler]

21 minutes, and we have the first corner of the game.......

24 minutes ... another corner

2 shots on target so far - both from Bradford City players.

Bristol Rovers 1 Fleetwood Town 0

Plymouth Argyle 0 Scunthorpe Utd 1

Blackburn Rovers 2 M K Dons 1

[Super Gabor]

Walsall corner. Goalmouth scramble. Strong hint of hand ball by a Bradford player.

[Ancient Moaner]

21 minutes, and we have the first corner of the game.......

Looks to have been one way traffic in wrong direction up to now. Usual Walsall v Bradford scenario then...us trying desperately to stop a Bradford goal rush.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Oh dear...... 0-1 !!!!!!!!! :( :( :(

Northampton Town 0 Posh 1

[Micky Saddler]

Not trying hard enough evidently, need I say same old same old when up against Bradford...we seem to be like rabbits caught in the headlights of their magnificence..........shame......

[Welsh_Saddler]

[Super Gabor]

0-2 :(

[79walsall]

How come tyler roberts hasnt started today ?

[Ancient Moaner]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear........we are in for a long hard season obviously....could be the usual tonking at the hands of Bradford again.......I bet they just love playing us...........................who was it said there was no way we would be facing a fight against relegation?

[Micky Saddler]

its the hope that kills

[IHTC.]

Morris misses an absolute sitter, how the hell is he playing L1 football?

[Welsh_Saddler]

Half time, and we are down 0-2. Mind you we are well ahead in terms of shots blocked, and shots off target (both 3-1), but that don't count.

Time to release the hounds, JW ?????

[moaning saddler]

We looked ok until Bradford woke up.
The defending for their goals was as cringeworthy as the pre-match "entertainment" in the stadium suite.

[vorny]

1-3 Leahy :D

[Super Gabor]

1-3 Leahy header. West Brom lad on for Morris.

[vorny]

2-3 Roberts :D

[Super Gabor]

2-3 game on. Tyler Roberts. Odds on a 4-3 win?

[79walsall]

Oh john look what a real striker does come on the lads !!

[Super Gabor]

Bakayoko 3-3

[cookyskid]
