AS El-Nombre admits, it looks as if Bury will do a 1-0 smash and grab, according to the stats it's seems to having been coming for a while, however, given a miracle we could do likewise, but time IS running out, as is our tenure in the 3rd Division.

Will we actually score another goal this season?

OG caused by Leahy who has been brilliant today. Still don’t understand all the hate for him.

Great.............but an own goal? Good result, much needed as the results around us have been horrendous, still in very deep dodo's!

Yeessss!!!! Draw and a win in the last 6 games and we'll be laughing I think.

Good work lads, hopefully that'll build the confidence.

Get in!!!!

3 points needed for 50 now, should do that easy with the games left.

We were better first half could have had at least 2. They were better second half and could have had at least the same but it went our way.

Shaibu’s best performance in a walsall shirt but hopefully it means Ngoy starts from now on. Couple of the boo boys like Baka and Leahy had good games.

Keates has definitely improved the defence.

Another own goal (by Rochdale) gives Portsmouth an equaliser and makes our cushion 5 points from the drop zone.

That's great news, it was his forte at Wrexham apparently.
See everyone at Oldham on Wednesday then? 3 points from that one could see us virtually over the line! :D :D :D

Which results were they? Dale drew, Oldham-Oxford drew and Wimbledon drew so surely all going Walsall's way.

Definitely in my opinion AM. There’s no way it would have been a clean sheet under Whitney.

Granted that doesn’t mean exactly mean he’s got them playing like AC Milan or something at the back but he’s working with what he’s got.

Perhaps not, but as long as the opposition score them for us, who cares?!! Great win.

Three draws and will be ok. That was really poor game and in second half Bury looked more likely to score. But that shows how bad at team building previous gaffer was. Keeper was good, saved the day earlier, when Bury pressed. I hope team will play lil bit better now, there is no immediate danger of relegation.

Baka and Leahy had a good game?
Are you on f***ing drugs?

Leahy was even more abysmal than normal. More of his hopeless punts to no-one down the line. Then when he got forward crosses that didn’t leave the ground and were blocked with other times him running into defenders and getting tackled.

Baka just half arsed as usual. But what donyoubexo ctvwhen his reward for continuous poor performance s is to be given an automatic starting place. He’s got zero incentive to improve.

But the keeper got MOTM because he made 3 first class saves to stop us going 3-0 down. I would think that when the keeper hardly has anything to is when the defense has been improved.

Just saying.

Agree Optimistic.
Defence is better but still not great.
We rode our luck a few times today but less chances for the opposition meant less chance of them converting them.
