Huddersfield -away - won 3-1
Northampton - home - lost 0-1

A must win game against a team in 18th position on 30 points from 25 games .

2-0 To the Saddlers

[Registered Saddler]

This is - on paper - our easiest fixture for some time with games against Orient, Carlisle, Yeovil and Swansea to come. I think we could do with a win and that will be just the fillip we need with some toughies coming up.

[Whitti Steve]

Need to win this one.

[Asps]

Match will be tougher than it looks on paper.

They have been playing better of late.

Worried about us scoring goals.

Predict a nil nil draw

[Sadders]

This especially ,and orient as well, are simply the biggest games of the season so far. We really need 6 points if we want to keep on solidfiying this play off surge. We will lose at swansea ( as we always do regardless of our form), hopefully beat yeovil , and perhaps sneak a point at carlisle at very best. Teams around could be getting 9 points from that period, wheras we may only get 3 or 4. We really need these points.

Its been a good season so far, but i think the lack of goals, drawing effect and in-experience of the squad might not be able to do it when it really matters.

1-1 I think.

Yep. Back to winning ways for me.

Just another cheap dodgy foreigner I thought. My mistake thats what everyone else thought before they'd seen him play. :D

I'll just take this opportunity to remind everybody of the bet I had with Bernie that I'd hoped everyone had forgotten about - until last week.

I suggested that Sonko would equal or better Mark Wright's stats for last season, despite us playing in a division higher. Last season Wright scored 3 (three) goals and was credited with 7 (seven) assists.

So far, Edrissa 'Goal Machine' Sonko has scored 4 (four - that's one...two...three...(Mark Wright's total)....FOUR), and made 1 (one) assist.

Don't think Bernie and I decided who wins if one total is exceded and the not. :?

Still, 'Mr Sunshine' only really gets going in the good weather. :mrgreen:

[WarsawPact]

We're a one man team, apparently...

[handsworth saddler]

1-0 to Walsall. Return to winning ways and keep the unbeaten run in the league going.

[Dynamo Zuffle]

We should beat teams like Gillingham if we are serious contenders for a play off spot. Hopefully we will have one or both senior strikers back on Saturday. Although we should be more than capable of beating them without them on the pitch. A nice entertaining 3-2 to the Saddlers.

" Sonko was again the scorer of Walsall's only brace in their 1-1 draw ". :?

[priestley_saddler]

According to the FA website, Dann and Ishy are suspended for 5 bookings.

I'll go 2-0, Roper and Holmes

5432 attendance with 321 from them.

[Sadders]

:shock: :cry: :cry: Without dann the defence looks nailed.

[big baz 1]

Walsall will win 5-0

[Duke]

lets give them a big welcome home.

[derbysaddler]

I'm going for a home win, 2 nil I think.

They've signed a lot of non league players I think who have been doing okay for them. But I don't think they've got that lad from Charlton on loan anymore?

Wrack, Nicholls.

[WFC_Rob]

3-1 win. Ricketts, Holmes & Sonko with the goals.

[Fat Controller]

Gillingham had their goalkeeper,Simon Royce,sent off last night in the match against Oldham so he won't be able to play on Saturday.

[RED 5]

We will have to keep Delroy Facey quite this time! He gave Gerrard the run about at there place!

" The Mercian Regiment will have a recruitment bus at the game."

We've a few young U.T.S. members been looking for work.

Let's see how serious they are. :wink:

[northern_saddler]

Dann's on the "awaiting suspension" list too, with a start date of Saturday for his ban - so he will miss the game. :(

[Welsh_Saddler]

Perhaps I'm having a "senior moment", but isn't Delroy Facey the chap that got a hat-trick against us when playing for Burnley in those happy days in the Championship?

If Dann and Gerrard are both unavailable I get worried..... I'll go for a 3-2 Saddlers win, our goals to come from Sonko (naturally), Holmes and Wrack.
