Knowles ain’t really at the age where he will improve his end product enough to make a real difference
His technique and muscle memory will now be natural for him and for him to change that would take serious serious work at his age which just isn’t going to happen
The knowles we have now is the knowles we will get and for me he just is not good enough at this level
His a wide kinsella . His workrate and pace for some override his actual ability which is incredibly limited

I agree, largely, runs around a lot, but footballing brain isn’t great.
Disagee that you can’t learn as you gain experience though, most players at the end of their careers are much better mentally than they were 10 years prior, it’s the physical stuff that degrades.
There’s no football framework at Walsall. They fail on their own terms. The best way to do it !
Why do we keep failing despite this then?
In the latest game I was thinking that I would try to play Knowles as just an offensive player. No tie him to a position, not giving him defensive duties, but just play and enjoy causing some havoc in the opponent’s defence. I’m guessing in the last 10-15 mins the defenders love to chase someone, but there are tactical plans, so no. Won’t happen.

I dont know, just expecting someone with insider knowledge to have come out with somthing by now. MF could of exposed them, he owes them no loyalty and says they are excellent people.
Same been said before, its just strange how they can beguile professionals and not their own customers!

Well yeah. Just thought incompetence is usually found out publicly now. Be interested to know what its really like and how hard they honestly work for the club and for us as supporters.
Well, we got caught cold and went behind and made it difficult for ourselves which you just can’t afford to do. Then we weren’t at it for the first half an hour. After that up to the sending off I thought we did ok and looked capable of getting an equaliser. The sending off pretty much killed that off but never the less stuck at it and until the late 2nd and kept it to 1 when in the past few years we could have folded and ended up loosing 4-0.
Bringing DJ on made sense as the sort of player that could grab one for you out of nothing given just one chance and had that happened we’d be saying it’s a good point given the circumstances assuming we then defended to save our lives. Thought Hutch was wasteful in possession which made trying to grad something with 10 men more difficult.
Do think some of the histrionics are a bit over the top.

Way to go to miss the point…
I think your the one missing the point!!!. It might be simple. It might be complicated. Did i say it was simple. Errr no. Did I say it was complicated. Err no
Simple enough for you to understand?
As I said, missing the point…
Maybe the people who really know what goes on think highly of them whilst those that don’t know what goes on don’t think highly of them!! Simple really !!!

Yep. Nuance
Or we can judge them on a decades plus worth of performance across the business🤦🏻♂️
The state of the football club and its performance over the last few years is not up for discussion. We are a failing football club that has employed the same CEO’s from a failing regime for 2 takeovers. Kindly point me in the direction where this has ever happened elsewhere?
And it won’t change while they are still pulling the strings. Thats right. I said it again. By all means tell yourself different - I await the evidence or the changing of fortunes - as I have for the last 10 years 
I daresay I will pick this up with you again in the very near future

I expect you will although I thought you said recently you were giving it a rest. I wasn’t sure whether that was posting the same old stuff on here or not watching the team. Incidentally how many matches have you seen this season?

Christ almighty. I would suggest you purchase a mirror instead of your next season ticket.
And some other glasses other than those rose tinted Walsall FC specs you can’t seem to take off
I am a supporter. I notice you did not respond to my question.

Pure entertainment haha. See you for the next round of Walsall excuse bingo very soon.

You dont go to the games 
So you don’t support the Club but think it ok to come on here and criticise folk who people who have worked with them say are good people. What a strange chap you are…
