[Exile]

Phew.

Gerrard is a rock tonight. He's my internet MOTM.

[cyclothymic]

This is what being a Saddler is all about :D :? :(

[Exile]

cummon Walsall!

[Exile]

90 minutes nearly up. how much time on? 1-2 mins?

[Exile]

Three frigging minutes? :shock:

[Exile]

Reich warming up. That'll waste a minute.

[cyclothymic]

UTS!

[Exile]

Weston too? That'll waste another minute!

[Duke]

Come on lads hold um

90+2 minutes.

Cross by Matt Fryatt (Leicester), clearance by Michael Ricketts (Walsall).

[Chomper]

Great point - not bad for a clueless tactician.

I just knew we would get something.

[cyclothymic]

Yes!

Well Done to the Saddlers and JM!

Much credit for all the Saddlers that made the trip!

It IS going to be one of those seasons :D

[Duke]

fantastic result Bring on Leeds

[Dynamo Zuffle]

Unexpected but welcomed draw tonight.

[Exile]

We were lucky to get away with that. :D

Great going forwards, poor going back. same old, same old, really.

I'd have been very happy with a point before this match. I am extremely happy we got one.

[Cully]

That's one more point than I expected.

Oh well, it's the cup final on Saturday, I hope Leeds are up for it :?

[tinned]

My man at the scene says "Crap defending. Settled for a point when we could've had 3. Midfield collapsed onto back 4. No help for Jabo. No subs. Mullen sux"

*These are not my comments so don't start* :wink:

[BathSaddler]

I'll take the point. Even more so, given the starting line up :roll: .

[Magic Man Fan]

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please Walsall fans at any time.

:roll:

[Pedro]

Great point.Gerrard and Roberts 2 rocks at the back.Jaboo motm chased everything and won everything. Bring on Leeds.

[Duke]

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please Walsall fans at any time.

:roll:

any Saddlers not chuffed to bits with tonight's result need a brain scan

[saddlerken]

ace :D

I am "Chuffed to bits" with the result. I just did not fancy us initially based upon the starting line up.

[Plastic Hawk]

Only seen the scorers and read the comments on here. Got to be a decent away point though, hasn't it? Even despite being ahead twice.

Bit baffled about Weston only being on the bench. Surely not tactical?

[tinned]

Obviously most (all?) are happy with the point. I suppose it depends if you just take that and look no deeper. From what I hear the marking at corners was non-existant, the midfield were way too deep and provided no support to the front and Mullen appeared hesitant about making substitutions. Can't you be happy about the result but still recognise some worrying trends for the future?

I think we may have to get used to that... :roll: :roll:

I think there's more than enough posts on here where I point out some worrying future trends that have been suggested by the last three or four games! :wink:

It's the way to do it. Celebrate the positives but take note of the negatives. Isn't that the easiest way to continuous improvement? Sweeping anything negative under the carpet is just storing up trouble for the future.

I agree - but falling into bemoaning the negatives while taking note of the positives in passing does take the fun out of things! :wink:

So - good point tonight lads. I can go to bed happy!! :D :D :D

[geoffwhiting]

A great (if very unexpected) point. Shame we couldn't hold on to all three, but I wouldn't criticise that tonight at surely one of the hardest places we'll have to go all season.

All very perplexing though, how can we get results like Brighton and Leicester away, yet throw away all three points at home vs Hartlepool? :?

I guess this gives some hope for Saturday at Leeds, though I still (sadly) think they'll be too strong for us.

We've got decent performances after all of our setbacks this season (even if the one on Saturday wasn't sustained for 90 minutes). I don't think there's any doubt that JM is a fine motivator (possibly that was the reason results picked up when he came in last season - after all, we all know RM could be a bit more spiky!) - and the effect of that is only going to be emphasized when our backs are up against the wall in big away games like today or when we're down to nine like against Brighton (although I never expect to see that repeated).

We've had the look of an inconsistent side from the start of the season - so I don't think that you're going to get any less perplexed by our results in the next six months or so! :wink:
