Looks like we were lucky to get as many points as we did early on. Could be a very painful process getting the points necessary to stay up.
For whatever reason they have stopped doing all the things they were so good at in the first few games.
Charlton substitution following lengthy stoppage for injury (Grant replaces Vetokele), 34 minutes
Walsall yellow card (40 min) ā¦ everyoneās favourite full-back, Luke Leahy
Half-time, and according to the BBC weāve had 4 shots, none of which was on target ā¦
Andy Cookās back to his non league self.

Meh. Heās had virtually nothing to go on to be fair.
On goal he hasnāt. Everything else has just bounced off him or hes not winning headers. This whole āhe wins everythingā is a total myth.
Heās been doing that virtually every game since Bristol Rovers though. Harsh to call it a myth when heās proved it more than a few times that he can do it.
Cook is the least of our problems, feeds off scraps. When did we last win a second ball in midfield?
Time for some early substitutions?
Thatās my point when I say heās had nothing to go off. Iām not talking about in front of goal Iām talking about pinging hopefulls at him and then him copping the stick when he doesnāt āhold it upā.
Looks like Kinsella is coming on

Kinsella is a good shout. Osbourne has been dreadful since he came back in my opinion.
But he doesnāt do enough when he does hold it up. 1 or 2 good games out of 5 isnāt good enough.
Itās been 2 out of the last 2 to be fair he was the only one who did anything against Burton, was decent against Wycombe, and has had good performances. He had two quiet games when we were battered on the road but before that he was arguably man of the match against Bristol Rovers. What he does when he holds it up was the best part of those performances.
As usual with the bi-polar nature of social media the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Andy Cook thoroughly deserves his chance to make the step up to League One. Heās just the type of player most people moan about us not signing when they go to Peterborough or somewhere. I donāt think anyone has actually ever said āhe wins everythingā, nor does anyone expect him to step up two divisions and look like a world beater. However, heās had enough good performances and scored enough goals (seven?) to suggest that heās up to this level and will have overall a decent season and a positive impact compared to the forwards he replaced. Canāt ask for more than that surely?
Heās a player that needs service, as such we need more battles won in midfield and better quality from the wide men and creative players. That, coupled with giving away stupid goals is whatās stalling our season.

āWalsall are rubbish and it will be an absolute sin if we donāt take 3 points home from this if the second half plays out as the first.ā
āWalsall at the moment dont look as though they have a care in the worldā¦ As the commentators have said, there are no team mates rushing to want the ball from a throw in and certainly feels like theyāre mostly going through the motionsā
āWalsall look awful! Really important to kill this one off. Spending a lot of time in the final third but not had too many chancesā
Gotta love praise from our opposition fans 
0-2 Just as we were showing signs of getting into the game. Bloomin Beilik
Had to be Bielik. How very Walsall.
our passing is woefull
