You're not the only one tinned. Ive got about 15 years on the clock and I am that uninterested at the moment I'm thinking of jacking it in for the first time ever. Just seems a complete waste of my time.

The bloke is a fudge moron and needs to go NOW!
The board need to go NOW as well. I wish us fans could force a vote of no confidence.
Tell you what, am I SO close to telling the club to stick their early birds. 31 years and they've pushed me to this, somewhere I NEVER thought I'd get to.
I plead with ALL fans to protest. This club needs big change now before we implode.
I hate to say it Tinned but the implosion began many months ago - The decision now is are the board prepared to let us go down or do they wanna do something abt it

The worrying thing tonight is the fact that Northampton are cack and they took a point, we should have lost by about 6 if it hadn't been for roberts :|

Made my decision not to when bonehead failed to sack the idiot at Xmas personally. Bonser couldn't have made it more obvious that asset stripping was the only thing that mattered to him.

I predict many Saturday afternoons sat in The Black Country Arms or The Fountain and saving £350 in the process.
Sad, but that's what happens, Bonser, when you ignore the fans concerns. They end up stopping protesting and just stop going entirely.
You reap what you sow, you disgrace of a man.

Never signed up to the Saddlers for success or lavish spending but the sheer contempt they hold fans in is disgraceful. I am merely a contributor to a pension fund and feel no bond to the club, its merry go round of players or any other part of the club at the moment.

Unfortunately I agree with every word of that.

Full time 3-1. The last attempt of the game was Blackburn rattling our woodwork in the 93rd minute. The corner count was 10 v 0, which says quite a lot about the attacking capability of both sides.

So that’s that and although in reality we couldn’t realistically of expected to get much up there - that’s one of our so called games in hand gone...
Wouldn’t be surprised if Ozzie wasnt gone tomorrow and frankly that’s then game over

I'll probably change my mind ten times before renewing season ticket but ill certainly be pricing up a few local non league teams in the meantime.
Its not about tonight in isolation either.

The situation we are in now all dates back to the summer when we failed to sign any decent, PERMANENT signings. Are we so skint that all we can afford to bring in now in January, when we have lost FIVEof our 1st team squad, are two 20-year olds. Unless Whitney brings in 2 or 3 decent League 1-standard players TOMORROW then we are down!
Thank you Mr Bonser for killing the dream. No hope, no excitement, no anticipation of better times ahead, no future. Walsall FC RIP.

The result could have been much worse and at least it hasn't damaged the goal difference too much but the team we had to put out was weak and the events of the past few weeks have made me angry. It takes a lot to get me upset but this January has been very depressing for all our fans. Lets hope we can get some players in tomorrow who can add some muscle and experience to this team. A CH and another forward are the bare minimum required.

There’s the killer point - no we ain’t broke... we are a well ran, profitable football club. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean we can spend any money because it all gets used elsewhere - I’m sorry folks but now is the time to really protest with your only real voice which is boycot the game on Saturday - let it be in front of 500 and let’s see what reaction that gets - much bigger than standing outside the ground singing Bonser out....

Yup, I’ve been saying it for a while, but ever since he and his brother got back involved with the club after Jeffs hiatus, they’ve been running the club in to the ground.
Just look at the standard and age of the players we are signing - poor and young. And all the loans, so many loans - short term, no commitment and cheap...and no management team to speak of - it all points to one thing, cut cut cut, and take take take.

God knows who we’ll sign tomorrow - can’t see it being anyone permanent, I imagine we’d have got that done by now - so prepare yourself for more loans.
Personally I think we are down. There’s nothing in this squad. If Liam Roberts or Ozzy have an off day we are basically a bog standard conference side

Couldn't give a toss who says what. Ive stuck with Walsall through everything in recent years, and may still do, but the older I get the less I like being treated like a mug. The contempt for fans is not even hidden anymore and so its time to consider whether I can be bothered anymore. That's not me judging, sniping or anything similar its just genuine weariness of it now.

This! I have supported the club for over 50 years - most of this time we have been cack but there was the occasional cup run to keep the spirits up. Now it’s just one pointless season after another. We are just in existence to support one man and his pension fund. Bonser is killing our club. BONSER OUT!!

yes of course we care....nobody should boycott the game but get down there and support the team...the young lads we are playing need our support. Forget about Bonser for 90 minutes then protest as much as you like.

How CAN you say that - it’s fine to convince yourself that you are supporting these young lads etc but you have to get REAL ABOUT THINGS - we need change and how do we bring that about if we simply drift along in an apathetic dream state based on misplaced loyalty
Let’s bloody do something useful not useless
