And the surpring one of our regular trips over the years, Gillingham at 164 miles, is only just less

[saddlerJP]

Price will be a big miss. Let hope little willy can pop up with a goal though. 2-1 Walsall. Grigg and Gray

[BathSaddler]

Another away point beckons, 1-1.

[cumbria-saddler]

My home game :) Unfortunatly none of my friends want to come and watch the might saddlers though.

According to people i know, it will depend which Carlisle team shows up, so i take it from that, if we play like we have recently we stand a good chance of beating them.

I predict 2-1 to the saddlers, Westlake and Gray to score.

Hope to see a lot of Saddlers there.

PS. bring your coats and hats people. Its been cold, wet and windy this week :wink:

I'll be there! Dashing up after my match in the morning. Roughly 2 hours, so without any hold ups on the M6 should be there just in time for kick off. Staying with a mate in Carlisle (yearly tradition!) so going in the home stand / terrace, diagonally opposite where away fans are stuck. Be interesting to hear what they say about our players!!

[Darth Vader]

1-1 draw, Grigg for us.

125 Saddlers making the long treck to Cumbria.

Surprising? Jaysus, I always thought it was longer than that. Absolute arsehole of a place to get to!

1-1 today. Matt Richards doing something and getting a telling off.

[Exile]

1-1

Sheff to turn up in his Chelsea top and tell everyone how lucky they are that the premier league are paying for all the football in England.

[Four Oaks Saddler]

Taundry for Price, which presumably sees Nicholls move up top. Other than that, unchanged.

[Cheesebag]

Well done to the groundstaff, all the surrounding area is underwater but the pitch looks nice x

[King Crimson]

Taundry for Price... Other than that, unchanged.

Here's hoping Taundry has a better game today than on Wednesday. Against Notts County he was quite simply appalling.

Still not a goal nor an assist this season for a midfielder that some would have as a regular starter ahead of Matt Richards (8 goals and as many assists). Time to turn up, Richard!

Not a fan then? :wink:

[windowman]

loks like 4-5-1 to me

[Mirek]

A few thrills and spillls already round the grounds

Matty Fryatt pops one in for Hull away at Scunthorpe

Arsenal tearing the Newcy Browns 3-0 already at St JAmes PArk

[NEWPORT SADDLERS DAD]

Good luck to Man U tonight. The second of only two times per season I want them to win.

[Mirek]

I hope Zigor sorts out Brighton losing at Brizzle Rovers, we need a favour from our Spanish friend today

Not a fan then? :wink:

He's a "nearly" footballer. He can nearly read the game, nearly get to their player when they've got the ball, nearly take a penetrating throw-in, nearly hit an accurate shot or free kick and nearly run at pace with the ball.

Unfortunately, and I genuinely mean this, even at this level Taundry is not good enough at any of the above. Add to that the fact that his short and long range passing is woeful, he's not going to move WFC forward one inch. And to think that the imbecile we had in charge until recently handed him the armband.

Taundry has made one significant contribution this season: giving away the penalty at Fleetwood.

Still, he's got the bleached highlights and the obligatory tattoo to look Premier League. Closest he'll get to a Premier League will be Blue Square.

[Mirek]

Trampmere losing at home to Notts Co yipppeeee

Sounds like we are on top ( according to SkySports )

So you're definitely not a fan then? Cant really disagree, but if you think of the promise he had as a kid, something must have gone wrong somewhere. Div 4 standard, like Nicholls.

Agree with all of this. Also, I don't think he's disciplined enough to play a centre mid role - his instinct is to follow the ball (hence the 'headless chicken' tag), which generally leaves the opposition all sorts of space to play in.

I admire his commitment but let's be honest, all of us would show similar levels of commitment given the opportunity.

1-0 Matt Gill
