I'll add my two penneth worth in reaction to other peoples comments...
Palmer... didnt think he was that bad today, he's played much much worse and still been praised by some, so I dont understand why some say he was awful today. It did help that their right winger was completely crap and couldn't take him on, except for once when he nearly scored.
Deeney... I thought the lad had an excellent game, on another day he could have had a hat-trick, so give him praise.
Jabo... excellent? Really? He's definately lost a yard of pace since the start of the season, and why doesnt he make runs any more. 2 or 3 times Zaboob or Nicholls or Reich were raring forward, and both Deeney and Jabo couldn't be bothered to make a run, giving the attacking midfielder no option at all.
Manny Smith ... liability, as others have said, seems to have no confidence at all in what he's doing. Will he improve? Personally, I dont think so, because he doesnt even show that many glimmers of potential.
Mattis ... looked unfit, well off the pace.
Zaboob ... this is why he should be playing, he's a proper winger, he was the only player that was going to make something happen for us so he has to play, week in week out.
Referee, very poor, how he had the cheek to intercept a pass from Reich, then bring play back for an injury/foul - I don't know!! Then Deeney had a shot that the defender clearly got his boot to, all the Hereford team started trotting back for a corner, and the ref gave a goal kick... :roll:
Decent game, poor attendance, no real difference in terms of Walsall fans although the Floors 2 go upper did seem more busy, but by only a hundred or so. Next week we're playing at a neutral venue, and it might be the worst day i've ever known as a Walsall fan, to be outnumered at home.
