We are in the minotity.

Most fans are happy with not winning games, after all we are only Walsall FC how dare we expect us to win the odd or 2 game.

2-0.

Well done lads and Smith .... doing us proud.

This link should work. Otherwise, find the station by Google. That's what I did.



Don't bother 2 - 0 down :(

Switching the radio off now.

Not interested.

No goals = no cup progress. Not rocket science really is it.

Out of all 3 cups by December 9th. Cheers Deano.

Seems the best defence in the league doesn't stretch to cup games.

We have to score two now, and we've hardly been great this season at coming back from behind and getting something out of the game:

Port Vale A
Bristol C H
Shrewsbury H FAC

That's it....here's hoping tonight is 'comeback' number 4 :)

edit - 2-0 Christ almighty :evil:

I try and defend Smith as much as I can with regards league form but no excuses tonight, this is a total bottle job. It's a near enough full strength team against second bottom of league two ffs.

Much like 30 or so other teams in league 1 and 2 then. I don't understand how you can keep 9 cleansheets in league one and then concede 2 in the first half against an awful Tranmere side. Walsall FC - regardless of manager and personnel - clueless in cup competitions, forever.

"You'd think it was Tranmere who were the League 1 side."

I'm turning the radio off too and going to do some ironing! :?

Same old same old. Loads of possession, lots of chances, no fudge goals.

How long do we have to keep repeating the same scenario before the penny drops?

WM have said we need to come out gung-ho second half as there's nothing to lose. Smith? gung-ho? Joking ay ya?

Cup runs are what bring in support. They are what got me hooked on the Saddlers. Fifth round of the cup in 1978 and a trip to Arsenal as a kid.

Never going to happen again and our support will suffer in the long run. No-one at the club seems to care though....

I genuinely think you'll find we were unlucky. We've had 4 shots on target, no goals. They've lucked out with 2 out of 3. Betcha.
Mind you, it's typical of us at the moment.
Bollo cks!

It begs the question why our players continually can't get 'up' for cup games. Only defeat in November - a cup game vs the Sloppies. Our next defeat, away at Tranmere in the JPT. Lincoln, Slough, Luton, Dagenham...the list goes on. Why are we so eternally crap in the cup competitions?

Rowett said Blues lost against Blackpool because they played too many sideways passes, can someone ask him to speak to Sir Smith.

Smith's idea of gung ho will be to let the players get to the opposition penalty area before they pass back to O'Donnell. It's getting boring now, same old every game and nothing looks like changing.

Sadsworld working for me ok, unfortunately.
According to mighty Mick, we were totally dominating the game until they scored, but were not showing any urgency in the opponent's half. Sounds like most games this season then.
I fully expect Deano to unleash a tactical masterplan for a second half onslaught...

Lets hope you are right, but you are aware for that to happen we need to score a minimum of 2 goals in 45 mins, we have only scored 21 goals all season so far :lol: :lol:

Here's a question, how many times have we scored 2 goals or more in a match in 2014?
