Colchester (H) - League Two - Sat 28 September, 12.30pm

Fully deserved the win. Difficult first 15 minutes, Colchester made it hard for us to play. They slowed down the game at every opportunity but once we got going there was no stopping us.

It felt like the Tranmere game, first goal was always going to win it. We score it and it forces them to play a little bit instead of just disrupt everything.

They get it and no doubt they’d have sat in and carried on frustrating us.

Great win, my MOTM would have had to be Harry Williams.

It doesn’t credit Barrett with an assist on FotMob either

Can someone confirm this is our best start since… forever?

When you’ve been going as long as I have to watch Walsall you’ll realise Tea and croissants are’nt always enough, and yes I do need a beer like many others that regularly go to games … :joy:

Statement win especially for any sceptical fans that are left, now is the time turn up in numbers and get bescot bouncing and help keep the momentum going.

We just went through the gears effortlessly and fully deserved the result and scoreline. Special mentions to Barratt,Stirk,Williams and Dave who i thought were exceptional while all the others were only excellent.

To be winning 1-0 and to look over at your bench and see a dugout full of quality and match winners must be a managers dream.

As I said The Railway is open at 10 a.m …

Sort of Meat Grinder tactics as used by the Russians in Ukraine

Worth noting the opposition changing ends has really been a bit of a bogey for us in recent times, now, perhaps not.

Missed today as a deer ran into my car near the start of my 100 mile journey to Walsall - I always miss the good high scoring matches

I honestly thought in the first thirty minutes it wasn’t going to be our day but once the first goal went in we seemed far more settled.
It would be very easy to rave about four wonderful goals or how good the defence is but for me the most outstanding thing today was that it was a complete team performance with everyone playing their part.
It’s early days and there are going to be many twists and turns during this season but blimey it’s hard to not get carried away with this fantastic squad.

Adomah was much better playing deep behind Lowe with ball at his feet instead of playing alongside Lowe as a striker
Excellent player

Not sure Adomah even has a position when he comes on :grinning:, he ends up on the left right and in the middle. He is much better coming off the bench than he ever is starting though.
