And that has worried me for quite a while, but i’ve never mentioned anything as a thought.

I’m not sure how many seasons he has been with us as a coach but i recall last season or one before at least, he was called our ā€˜defensive coach’. We have been pretty sh1te at defending crosses and corners especially for a few years despite the players we have had who you’d think would be better and more commanding in the air.

Not sure what that says about his influence as a defensive coach tbh. I could be wrong as i say, but it doesn’t show that in good light if that was the case.

This isn’t a sadler out post or anything btw, just an observation of the last few seasons especially.

Sadler never has been our ā€œdefensive coachā€. That was a lazy observation by the likes of Walsall Fan TV simply because he was a defender! It’s quite rare actually for defenders to automatically become defensive coaches they often want to be more progressive and attacking than forward players who can be more pragmatic!!

As I’ve said lots of times, Sadler really wasn’t responsible for the coaching under Flynn and Hatswell. They did most things themselves and wanted a lot of control.

Great game so far.
Faulkes is the star of the show followed closely by Tierney.
Get Dougie and Allen off for DJ and Gordon.

Fair enough, i don’t know the ins and outs of the club as you probably do but what i do know from the past few seasons is that we continue to not be very good at defending our box a lot of the time regardless of who our coaches and coaching team have been!!

Yeah I don’t disagree I’m just not sure it’s fair for some to just assume that simply by virtue of being a defender that he would automatically coach a defensively sound team….

Depends which Hutchison turns up

WE have a catering team??? Thought that consisted of 16 y o work experience lads and lasses with Victoria Woods ā€œReady to order sir?ā€ waitress in charge…

I’ve lumped on for 4-2 each way

3-2
