Well, now Bolton have been sent packing, what about dear old Brizzle?

Back to the bread & butter stuff.
I'm predicting an 0-2 away win , Westwood and Wright to score .

1-2 to us. The odd goal against is creeping in away from home, but I think we'll have too much for them. Butler and Dann with the goals.

I think that DD has got a tough task on his hands to have the lads up for this game.

Saying that, I reckon a narrow 2-1 victory to the "Super Soaraway Saddlers".

:roll: :)

1-0 defeat... Bit of a flat performance after last nights game...

Hate to say it, but I think we're in line for 2 successive defeats with away matches at the Gasheads and Salop.

I'll be happy with 2 points to be honest.

1-1 with Dobbo getting in!

I don't care what happens at Bristol as long as we get something against the Sloppies.

i think that if we are to get promoted this season we need to grind out a few results away from home, so 1-0 win at bristol and a hard fought draw at shrewsbury.

We need at least 3 points from the next two games to keep tabs on the leaders.

Shrewsbury won't be eay at all but their best performances have been away but I still think we need to win against Rovers and I think Money will be telling them the same.

They'll be tired after last night but we'll scrape a 2-1 win.

Sam and Dobson.

Same team as last night and you think we would win pretty easy?

But its Walsall and I'd expect us to come back down to earth pretty quick and conceed an early goal but wake up in the second half and rescue a point.

Brizzle Rovers 1
Walsall 1 (Butler 72mins)

Difficult one this. Rovers dominated at Darlington on Saturday and were undone by an injury time equaliser, their second successive away draw on the trot. They have only scored once in their last three matches, but conversely have only conceded once in the same time period. They now have Lambert [from Rochdale, leading Divisional goalscorer last season] who they signed for 200K as replacement for Junior Agone-gone. He is yet to score in his two games so far.

Rovers are in turmoil at the moment with boardroom problems galore and the recent resignation of the chair of the Supporters Club. For a club of their size, they have languished in this league since 2001 wihout really ever threatening promotion. A warning to what can happen if you do not get out of this division quickly.

Having talked to one or two of their fans at work, they are a bit apprehensive about meeting us, but remain optimistic about the season as a whole - bizarrely in my view, because I think they're going nowhere fast.

That said, I'll settle for a point, 1-1.
