Walsall will play Mansfield at their gaff, on Tuesday 28 July. Here’s hoping Antler Gerrard will be available as we look to make Mansfield pay deerly for challenging us. Fingers crossed we’re fresh for the game and not in a rut, and the players are all hart. Hope we dont regret this fixture with hind-sight, or we’ll be eating umble pie.

Later that week we face Rushall Olympic away on Saturday, but there’s not so many puns in that one, so I won’t doe any.
