Yeah, thank goodness they left Spotland, what a dump that was.

My two lads both want to go up to Rochdale Iâm not sure I can be bothered tbh.
13th in the table coming into April, 13 points off a play-off place, and the worst goals-scored record of every team above us.
We are closer to the relegation places than we are to the top 6.
We are 18th in the League 2 form table, so not a lot to be optimistic about.
We wonât go up and we wonât go down.
The League table doesnât lie, and we are bereft of goals, the most important commodity in football.
For me, there can be no better moment than to start preparing for next season now !!
The loan players will not be our future moving forward.
RAM, Ronan Maher must be given his opportunity, and now. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Earlier in the season he made 12 appearances in all competitions for the first team, and the fans loved him.
Even before this, against a strong Championship side in Coventry in pre-season, he stood out, and in my view was the best player on the pitch.
Left footed, technically outstanding, he is a dribbler who comes alive in the attacking third.
His dead ball deliveries were a feature.
Michael Flynn unearthed a gem, protected the club with the award of a three year contract, and gave him minutes, predominantly off the bench.
Ram was then capped at international level, for the Republic of Ireland Uâ19âs in the European Championship qualifiers.
Maybe Flynn wanted to rest and protect him, but apart from a 15 minute cameo in the FA Cup v Leicester, he hasnât got on the grass at first team level in 6 months.
For one of the finest prospects seen at Bescot in decades, that cannot be right.
Losing Johnson in January killed our season. We lost our main goal scorer.
Ram was playing in Walsallâs Uâ23 team at the age of 16, and with Uâ18 football too, he scored 18 goals last season.
He has been moved back into 18âs football again recently, to get some game time. He delivered again, scoring 5 goals in 5 games.
10 minutes off the first team bench here, 45 minutes and 60 minutes there, is no substitution for a run of 90 minute games.
Letâs develop this exciting talent now, in preparation for next season, by giving him a proper run in the first team.
Heâs 18 years old now, is Walsallâs most saleable asset, and this sort of quality doesnât come around too often.
Failure to look after oneâs home grown players, always results in your competitors swooping, and doing it for you !!

I know that itâs none of my business and despite everything I think about the club at the moment, if you can afford it then I think you should go, purely because your lads want to go. They need to fall out of love with it on their own terms I think.

Iâve got work Friday morning if I get home early enough I will take them. But Ram has to be given a chance in the first team. Some of flynnâs decisions are baffling. Now is the perfect time.
Team sheets, mind numbing substitutions, throwing his players under a bus, changing systems (that non of his players seem to understand anyway) mid game, scratching his chin or his ear, telling us that âwe are almost thereâ just after a gut wrenchingly awful display, continuing with Knowles long throws that just give our opposition the ball, coaching.
Have I missed any of his specialities?

Wow only 17% of fans in the poll have gone for a Walsall win against bottom of the league 
sums it up for me that does.Anyway I think we will win this one surely to Christ we are better than this lot.
I think it is purely on the fact that they are fighting for survival, and some of our players are so relaxed, i expect them to come out in speedoâs
