Barnsley (A) 8th Sept, 3pm

Ist actual match attendance for quite a while. A good point for Walsall but Barnsley should have won. They had the better chances. They were however not as good as I expected slow to the second ball and kept passing it into space which Walsall used. You can see that Keates has built a team as they played for each other and very little dissent shown when a ball went astray whereas Barnsley were gesturing to each other when that happened.
I love sitting in the home fans listening to their fans rant at went went wrong which today was quite a few times and to their ignorance of the rules.

Think they did for a period. We had the better chances first half and Fitz should have scored as well.

2 home games against Doncaster and Stanley either side of a trip to oxford coming up. Very winnable games before we take on the shrews at home . First time in a long time I am genuinely excited by it all . Our Walsall is well and truly back thanks Deano U T S

How did you manage to celebrate our goal without peeing them off? :smiley:

Just got in. Thought we deserved a point for the spirit that we showed. Barnsley will be kicking themselves for not making it 2-0 when they broke away a couple of times with men over but there again we had our chances too eg lovely move by Devlin to set up the save from Ferrier in the first half. I was surprised that Dean didn’t change things a bit earlier but it’s always great to get a late equaliser and I was so pleased it was Cook scoring a ‘proper’ goal. Could not see whether their goal was a bit of a shambles but Liam Roberts made some tip top saves, please though, could somebody coach his kicking.
I came away from that a LOT happier than the last time there, We are going to surprise a number of people this season.
Nice to meet @saddla .

My default position is always correct, people who set there selves up to be self styled know it all’s are always open to mistakes as has been proved. The web is obviously someones choice of information and it let him down badly.

Anyone who’s questioned what Cook can bring to this team need to give their head a massive wobble!!!

Up the Cookie , up the Walsall !!!

If you think "my default position is always correct " wouldn’t that make you the, “self-styled know it all,” ,old chap?

Not at all, i leave that to you and your compatriots.
I know my place in things and am quite happy to live there, unlike others !

Looks like the BBC report was written by someone from the Tykes supporter’ s club.

Yep. That’s just how you come across. Happy, content, well adjusted.

Cookie monsters gonna get ya👹 !!!

Not at all are you?Just “always correct.” You know the difference, even if no one else does.

Looks like i have been banned once again for trying to reply to Shrewsbury Saddler even though he has replied to me 3 times since twenty past seven this evening…it was quarter past eight when i posted this. We had this conversation a few weeks ago but it seems as though it only applies to some of us.

Great point, playing away at one of the top 3 sides in the division. We have got some steel this season, as well as a bit of quality. There’s no reason why we can’t make the top 6.

Totally agree, feeling really optimistic at the moment.

I thought that. Only Barnsley seemed to maintain their unbeaten record.

Blackpool v Bradford sounds amazing. O Donnell kept them in the game,then gifted the winner.

Thank goodness we are back to discussing the football and the team. Why on earth do people have to have a go at each other? We’re all on the same side! And each one’s opinion is as valid as anyone else’s i.e. it’s just an opinion.
What a season, so far! :grin:
Let’s just enjoy it while it lasts (all season, hopefully) :smiley:
