Spot on Jorge14, summed it up very well the day before the game got going - that's if it ever DID get going.
Not a lot of quality at all from Walsall, but love him or loathe him, what bits there were came mainly from Merson with some superb touches and lay-offs, including of course the one that decided the game, putting Matty through for a cool finish.
Other than that, a rather dire game that had 0-0 written all over it until that one moment arrived.
Excellent performances from Roper and Gerrard, I see that Gerrard got MoM but I might have given it to Roper.
Couldn't understand our continual insistence on banging long balls down the middle for their big central defender to mop up. Don't know his name, but he had an excellent game too, and gave very little away. But we played right into his hands over and over again, and with both Merse and Ozzie on the pitch, I'd have thought that would have been spotted and sorted out.
Altogether a very disappointing game that will do nothing to encourage the fans to come back. Most of the time I though it was probably going to be a 0-0, or maybe they'd snatch the winner, so it's nice to get the points on the day.
If I was a monkey-hanger though, I'd be feeling pretty-well peed off tonight, and rather like I'd been mugged !
