All the highlights have been reported here. Utter dross. Craig is getting torn to pieces. They should have had a pen when Criag had to resort to shirt pulling as he is winning nothing in the air. Ollie Clarke and Bonham about the only 2 to come out of that half looking any good. It's painful to watch and certainly not enjoyable.
Isn't it funny how different people can see a game differently?
I thought this was one of Craigs better games, not a lot got past him, and I thought he won more than his fair share in the air.
Bonham meanwhile, who I've been impressed with, reminded me of Pudey with his catching, I shat myself everytime a ball came over today! His shot stopping was excellent as usual, but his catching....... I'll be having nightmares tonight!
In fairness the wind was changing direction continuosly throughout the first half and Walsall put quality crosses and corners in, a nightmare for any keeper. Unfortunately apart from Lines our crossing was atrocious and I could have kept goal for them. |

Next three league games:
Burton (1 point above us) - away
Oxford (4 points below us and bottom of the league) - home
Wimbledon (1 point above us) - home
If we don't take at least 7 points from these games, then I can't see anything other than relegation I'm afraid.

FFS what does Leads do in training I suggest he should spend an hour a day practicing his crossing all over hit except one, dire we get in good positions and he smashes it behind.
Parts must play right back and get Jak up front, Nicho needs a rest mentally he is shot, there is a good player in there but we need a change in fortunes, need Matthews and Sercs starting, sercs would be better in a number 10 role than on the wing, Matthews is class went past players with the ball seemingly stuck to his boot.
Bonham must be fed up of champagne he will have enough while he is here 😂

Just watched the highlights on Sky and I can't understand what Martin is doing for the goal, all he had to do was mark the goal scorer instead he needlessly gets sucked into the middle and leaves the goal scorer in loads of space, how can an experienced LB just not do the basics.

I quite enjoyed the first half today,the game was open and enjoyable.
Walsall looked more likely to score in the 2nd half but strangely were wasting time on their corners.
I thought tony craig,james clarke,chris lines,bonham and matthews did well.
Both our full backs struggled,bennett was playing very deep on the left which i didnt understand.
Reilly and nichols worked hard but were not a serious threat.
Its starting to look like a relegation battle.
I think stefan payne is our best striker and is a key player if were going to stay up.

We had Sercombe, Partington, Jakubiak and Matthews on the bench who are all our better performers at the moment. I’d pick all of them over Leadbitter, Lines, Bennett and Nichols but DC seems to want to persist with players who aren’t giving him results, had we taken them out I’d be willing to wager today would of had a different outcome. I appreciate Sercombe, Partington and Matthews are coming back from injury and Jakubiak is only on loan but they all need to be in the starting lineup going forward I feel. |

It’s obvious he wants the sack and a pay off,very bad management again another 4 changes long high balls played up to midgets,sincs out wide then sercombe comes on he plays out wide,don’t start Jakubiak,Leadbitter what a waste of time playing him,Martin left back Another waste of time,corners free kicks no variations,it’s now becoming so repetitive week in and week out but no doubt we’ll dust ourselves down and go again. |

DC - "the fact of the matter is that you sell all the goals out of your team eventually it will catch up with you. I’m not blaming anyone at the club for that because players wanted to go because where's this club going?" Radio Bris Reporter - What about higher up at the club, do you feel let down by what happened in the summer? DC - "Listen it's not for me to criticise, at the end of the day I crack on as best as I can. People have got their own opinion, I think what we have done so far has been an unbelievable success, but we want to push to get over the next hurdle. We were in the same boat six or seven years ago under Paul Trollope and Lennie Lawrence. There comes a time when you have a huge fan base like us, a fan base who are desperate to push to another level. It’s a tough job it really is I enjoy my job, I hurt for our fans, to be honest with you, but it’s a tough job because you are in a city, where the red side of the city where money is no expense and on this side of the city we are stuck in the dark ages and how is that going to change? I don’t know. The powers that be have got it work harder with that" |

He's a sh** league 2 full back, that's why. Why would anyone be surprised when he makes a basic error? He is, after all, just a sh** league 2 full back. We have a much better prospect in Kelly, and he didn't play him. Unless he's injured, I can really see no excuse for that. |

Why has no one mentioned the near on open goal we missed after their keeper parried a long range shot?!

Meyanese, Russe and Rodman were also doing fitness tests before the game. |

Didn't you say the same thing before the Coventry game? Nothing wrong with criticising and disagreeing with his picks, of course, but you're just just saying the bloke has no integrity at all. Also, if he did really want the sack instead of building a competitive team do you think he could do it a bit more blatantly like losing 4-0, rather than losing a hard-fought match in the last minute? Your comment is ridiculous on many levels. |

I haven't seen the replay orbit but some bloke was moaning about it by me at the time. When you watch things back or slow things down it seems easy. I wouldn't be too harsh on him with that. |

Your comment is ridiculous on many levels. I’m just saying how I see it and how it is,I don’t want DC sacked but just would like him to select a team and give them a chance to gel and get too know each other’s game like most fans agree his tinkering is just ridiculous now. If he walked out of the job he gets nothing,get sacked and he gets a pay out and will get another job easily. A loss is a loss what ever the score he can’t make the other team take their chances can he? lose against Burton and a poor performance against Oxford what will the atmosphere be like then? |
