Very true.
But if we are going to get promoted, it's games like this were we need to turn the screw. If this team doesn't believe it's one of, if not the best teams in this league by now, then there's nothing that Bonsore, Gamble, Whitney or the crowd can do to help.

We have beaten all the teams in the remaining fixtures apart from tomorrow's opponents, and that was a travesty they should be keen to put right.

Sit down, strap your self in, goggles down and contact...

I was at Swindon. Possibly the most one sided game I have ever seen live. Cook had a good disallowed, don't know why it was not shown, on TV. We tried to win the game and lost it to a great shot in the last minute.
We certainly owe them one. Two biggest games in years.My glass is overflowing.

Exciting times but this is exactly the sort of game Walsall tend not to win, when the weight of expectation makes the players nervy and the "occasional" fans start hurling abuse and booing if things don't go well. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

If I see or hear fans booing or hurling abuse I will destroy them with my bare hands.

Nervous, really nervous.

On a decent run
Confidence is high
Against opponents we should easily beat
Part time fans

Everything points to a home defeat!

I'm going to go against the above and stay positive; 3-1.

I've got the lucky pants on, so we'll win.
Hopefully we'll score early, settle nerves, get crowd buzzing and then get a few more...4-0.

Tricky one this . On paper we should get 3 points without a problem, however this is Walsall.

Won't be there as i finish work at 8 so will be a radio warrior again unfortunately , driving home down the M6 i'll sweating like a Scouser at a Job interview but i'm going to go for:

Walsall 3(OG/ Mantom and Rico)
Swindon 0

5287 in the crowd.

Welsh is at the match tonight so I'll try to provide some score updates for those that read the forum who don't have access to the Internet :mrgreen:

I went to the away fixture when we were mugged. Expect us to nail it tonight 3-0 in front of 6844

Jordy with 2 and Milan

Thought Swindon were supposedly crud? According to the BBC stats theym all over us like a rash, more shots on goal and better possession, the 'Swindon' curse happening again? 4-1 last year was it not?
Come on me babbies yowm better than this!!!! :( :(
We REALLY should be beating poor sides like this who have nowt to play for but pride, surely ours has to be a stronger passion.
