I said something similar about Brianâs leadership the other day, what I said was if we had scored a goal or two and accompanied that with the improved displays as regards passing and trying to knock the ball about things wouldnât look as bad as they do.Stevenage winning 1-0 Kinsella gets sent off they go and score 14 minutes after.Bradford game they hit a screamer now if that goes in in a champions league final itâs headline news because it was a strike worthy of winning a cup final in my eyes,then the Cambridge game again another good hit in the worst of minutes(the final one) itâs fine margins but like I said if weâd had scored a couple of goals like pinching a 1-0 away at Exeter or scoring against Cambridge being 1-0 up then Mullen does what he did it doesnât look as bad.The lads upfront need to step up now there have been improvements behind them now itâs their turn to show up.

Walsall versus Barrow
Prediction Song
(To the tune of âMolly Maloneâ)
A
In a Black Country town
Where fans often frown
I first saw a head coach called Brian Dutton
We were playing against Barrow
With formation quite narrow
And he cried:
Oh, give me some strikers alive to a chance!
Alive to a chance
Alive to a chance
Oh, give me one striker alive to one chance!

In this Black Country town
Where Bescotâs the ground
I first saw a head coach called Brian Dutton
We were drawing against Barrow
With formation less narrow
And he cried:
Oh, give me some strikers who can take a chance!
Who can take a chance
Who can take a chance
Oh, give me one striker who can take one chance!

And he cried:
Oh, give me some players who can cross a ball!

Who can cross a ball
Oh, give me one player who can cross a ball!

In this Black Country town
Where Pomlett feels down
I first saw a head coach called Brian Dutton
We were losing to Barrow
With formation not narrow

Can pass the ball
Oh, give me one player who can pass the ball!

In a Black Country town
Where hope is still found
There remains a head coach called Brian Dutton

No hope to be found
Tâwas the end of head coach Brian Dutton
Walsall lost to Barrow
The defeat was narrow
But Pomlett cried:
This was your last match, Brian Dutton!
Oh, Brian Dutton
Oh, Brian Dutton
This was your last match, Brian Dutton!

In the Black Country town
Scarr turned around
His own goal put an end to Brian Dutton
Scarr scored for Barrow
His visionâs too narrow
And the fans cried:
Oh, not an own goal from Scarr again!
In the last minute
In the last minute
Through Liamâs legs from Dan Scarr again!

In the Black Country town
Where weâre not going down
I still see a head coach called Brian Dutton
Weâve beaten Barrow
Wrightâs angle was narrow
And we cried:
Oh, give us a manager called Brian Dutton!
Oh, Brian Dutton
Oh, Brian Dutton
Oh, make him the manager, Brian Dutton!

Very good HK.
Makes a change from every football song being to sloop John B. Continues the gradual gentrification of football songs. Started when â who the â â â â â â â hell are youâ was shortened to the far more politely framed enquiry of âwho are ya?â
TOO much
emphasized text
Pedant mode: It should be âthe EFL Trophy FinalSâ - our scheduled opponents Tranmere are in the 2020/21 final on Sunday, whereas Salford, who Barrow should have been playing, are in the 2019/20 final on Saturday.
How mad is that for the finals from 2 separate seasons to be just 24 hours apart?

I donât see why they couldnât have played last years final last year. They had the play offs 
Does that mean the winners on Saturday only get to keep the trophy for 24 hours?
Better not dent it during the after match celebrations!!

Probably wonât even be allowed to take it out of the stadium.
Theyâll need it for the open top bus tour.
Got us down for a defeat because cannot see where a goal can come from would even miss a penalty.
I obviously hope I am wrong if only so BD can get his first win before badge man.
I think Dutton will be on the chopping block should we not get something from the next two games.
DC sold LP a bill of goods, LP is running out of patience and itâs time to pay the piper!

We need to take this game to the mighty Barrow straight away from the off no messing about.This is our best chance of BDâs first victory and we should start how we ended against Bradford,in the last 20 minutes of that game we had a real go in fact I think Brian even moaned at them saying we canât just play for 20 minutes in a match.So thatâs how we need to start in my opinion,we need a couple of goals so hopefully 2-0 up at half time then they will get one back but we will hang on for the win.
