I watched about 10 minutes of the Bradford game, a few first half then the end.
In that time they missed 3 gilt edged sitters and hit the post. It looked for all the world like it just wasn’t their day and they could play all night and not score.
I turned off when they scored but there was always going to be more than 6 minutes, the first minute of added time was entirely taken up with Fleetwood fannying about making subs.
Exactly - didn’t really have much hope before the match so I was resigned to our fate. However, 6 minutes into injury time and with us in third, I made the mistake of thinking we had a chance - how wrong i was! Typical of football to build our hopes up (even against our wishes) and then do that to us!
You’ve got to hand it to Fleetwood - they played as if their lives depended on it . Fair play
Gutted i am but especially for the young saddlers fans that haven’t seen us win anything. It’d be lovely just for them to see us achieve something.
An absolute shambles.
We didn’t deserve to go up. We’re a mess. Even today against the most limited of opposition we tried to sit on a 1-0 lead and it nearly caught us out.
Biggest bottlers is Walsall’s history.
So many good people let down by sheer incompetence. Heads should have rolled weeks ago.
Nobody call this “unlucky”. It was the tale of the chokers today and at the end of the season Bradford didn’t quite choke as much as we did.
Gutted.
Sadler is a prick , absolute waste of space
Fair play? They lost as most of us knew they would.
Sadler being interviewed pitchside. When asked about what happened at the end…
“Hey-ho thats the way it goes”.
Yes Newport away was the golden chance. They conceded 4 to Tranmere today
Even when we finally win after months, we still end up losing.
So, so Walsall
Regardless of what happens now, the others had weeks to catch up and kept messing up. We should have been with Crewe outside of the playoffs.
It was out of our hands today so I wasn’t expecting anything, like I’m not expecting anything in the playoffs.
But you never know.
UTS
One last chance (playoffs) let’s really make that possible by relieving Sadler of his duties now .
Some poor chap on the way out was physically sick, I think that’s how we all feel. There are no words.
I’m deflated
You are joking aren’t you ?? He cannot really have said this
The effort was immense from Fleetwood in a game that meant nothing to them . Very professional
@zaddler Yep. Dunno who it was who interviewed him. None of our lot. Id left the TV on whilst in the kitchen and he popped up for all of 30 seconds.
The usual “we’ll go out and give it what we’ve got” and take the win today “into the next games”.
Unbelievable…….. after he has overseen the biggest capitulation in league football, he has the gall to state ‘hey ho that’s the way it goes ‘
Show some accountability you utter tool
@zaddler the usual smirk and smile aswell. Followed up with “cheers mate” and “cheers lads” as the interview finished. He is well and truly in his own bubble.
