Imagine that, itād be carnageā¦
Strange how you didnāt share this opinion on our previous managers.
Where would we be if we didnt have Hutchinson this season ?
Woke up and on reflection that was a valuable point and I will explain why. Iāve noticed recently Iāve spent more time looking at this section of the table
Rather than looking at this section of the table
Sad really, but there is still a gap and Iām hopeful we can at least match last years position.
As a Walsall fan you accept the fact you are never going to see your team in the Premier League, and in all honesty why would you. Most teams aiming to finish 8th to 17th because the competition is sewn up by the same teams every season, feels like it becomes about just existing. Ironically it is starting to feel like our Premier League is actually League Two, existing and bumbling around these positions. Iām not sure I even feel sad or angry about that, just an acceptance. Maybe that is because Iām becoming detached from the club or just tired of it all and I donāt think Iām the only one.

I donāt listen to his interviews anymore. Itās the same crap from him all the time. Shifting blame from himself. He hasnāt blamed the tea lady yet though

I love Donovan Daniels, seemed to have really bought into the club at the start, but his form has dropped dramatically, his seems to have lost his composure and every time he gets the ball he hoofs it, previously he would bring it down and look for the pass or even make a run. Luckily, Preistly has taken over the 8/10 every game position at the back but I really wonder what has changed to make Donovanās form drop so much.

Wondering if it has coincided with his recent marauding forward role? Maybe he would rediscover his previous form if he was fully focussed on being a centre back?

View from the Crawley fans in the main stand was surprise at how we set up in the 2nd half, and the goal was a formality. They thought we shaded the first half but sitting back after the break played into their hands.
If theyād watched the Gills game it was probably pretty obvious at half time how weād come out!

We are just so very negative.

This I would agree with and itās one thing I really
dislike.
What I would say is I think much of it is driven by fear.
I donāt think itās the plan but I can see nervousness the minute weāre a goal up and the instinct when nervous is to minimise risk and default to safetyā¦ie sitting deeper, clearing lines and not really wanting the ball or to be on the ball for more than one touchā¦.

It would be a pretty naĆÆve plan. If itās psychological then the club need to try and work on it, it does seem an inherent trait in recent years
I donāt think there is a plan, this is a direct quote from Sadler in his interview, bearing in mind we have gone in 1-0 up away from home, having shaded the 1st half. It is therefore likely that Crawley were going to get a rollicking and come out in the 2nd half having had a kick up the back side.
āI thought during that little spell of pressure they had on us, you just hoping for that spell to just slightly stop a little bit, and it didnātā
There you have it, no in game tactical nous, just blind hope

Because you canāt keep throwing manager after manager under the bus time after time. We need to have a little bit of stability,and although Sadler doesnāt particularly float my boat heās here and hopefully Trivela and Sadler can work it out in the end.

Ok I get that and agree, but Flynn had a better pedigree than Sadler. So for me if you was going to persist with someone it would have been him.
Seems double standards to me.

I think there was a decent amount of fans that wanted Flynn out,but as you say,if we were going to to stick by someone come what may I would choose Clark or Flynn over Sadler.

According to the pre match poll 60% of Saddlers fans who expressed a preference expected us to lose this. Youād think it was 2% reading this post-match dissection.
I voted for a draw. Iām glad we got a point.

Agree to a degree - but when you see how the game actually developed and how Crawley played there was 3 points available to us had we performed a little better and we did not take them.
UP THE SADDLERS
Itās to do with Sadlerās policy of " we start with a point, so letās not lose it " engrained into the players minds which results in mid to bottom league table status.
The buck starts and stops with the trainee PE teacher
