Its rather like a low level Premier team playing Man. City when you look at the Blackburn team compared to ours.....the meeting on Thursday should be interesting!!! How has this well run club got to a position where we cannot compete in this Division? The team we have put out tonight is the weakest for a number of years...if we get anything from the game I will be astonished.

Methinks the expression 'right ammerin' might be just a little too gentle 'for what we are about to receive'.

At the moment a Walsall win is quoted at 21/1 ..... and the draw is 8/1

Blackburn are a class above, the passing and movement off the ball is a joy to watch. If you're not a saddler that is :(

Walsall win odds now 151/1, and the draw 23/1

Are you being outrageously optimistic with "Were doomed", or did you mean "We're doomed" ??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Been totally outclassed in every position from the start. Our goal came out of nowhere.

Shouldn't be a shock, Blackburn is 17 unbeaten.

Whitters has watched this lot many times over the last few weeks and knows all of their weak spots.
It will all be fine..,.

I think we've had more efforts on goal on and off target than Northampton did on Saturday and they got a draw :shock: . I don't expect us to do the same, but Edwards goal seemed to come out of nothing and I'll take anything at the moment.

The first XI is not great, but with the exception of Cuvelier the bench is incredibly weak. Thanks must go to the the altruistic owner, the visionary board and the capable manager for giving us supporters such hope for the difficult weeks ahead.
