0-0.

We haven't won a game I've been to since last October so a win is not likely :lol:

Can we win a match please? seems so long ago! Baky will be up front again (it's the law in Whitneyworld), doing bugga all, Roberts will be on the bench until the 85th minute, when we will be already 3-0 down.

Used to be a home match for me when living in the Leeds area, no longer the case but glad really, don't expect much from todays game. It will however, be great for the Walsall fans there to see a REAL defender come regular goalscorer in action for Donny! (However in Whitneyworld he would be too old and not suitable for 'our' fabulous new-wave footy)

The real test of his future will be after the games against Sarfend & Newport.

Think its a bad decision to start Baka again, he isn't up to the par in my eyes, never has been.

Think with Agyei's power and Robert's flair, we are really missing a trick there! They have both showed they are capable of winning games on there own.

Could be a great combination :?

Why oh why will he not play them together up front?????????????
Sorry I was forgetting his secret lovechild HAS to be in the starting line up, he would still play if he was confined to a wheelchair......still who are we to question the wisdom of Whitneyworld?

Our oppo No.6 will almost certainly score against us (probably a penalty!! :lol: :lol: )

Wow! we look well on top....no shots at all, no corners, nothing. Butler comes close with a header.

Bet the home fans look at Baky, and think, we could do with someone like him up front, he's just soooo good!

Completely uninspiring stuff. How their number 9 missed an open goal after they hit the post I'll never know.

You got some 'uppers' you can sneak into the dressing room at half time then? What other teams in the football league today will have gone 36 minutes into their game without ONE shot?

Think the writing is on the wall, just a matter of time...........

One more goal from Oldham, the Wombles sneak a home win & Donny get the goal they have threatened we will drop to just above the relegation zone.

According to Walsall Web-Fans there are plenty of "Whitney out" chants.
