Brilliant. Really happy to hear we played well. We played okay on Saturday, too. Unlucky to lose.

If we were awarded points for playing well but losing or being unlucky over the last 5 years, we would be in the Champions League

Anyone think Tierney and Foulkes should start on Saturday?

A weird game to sum up really.

We were better first half, but sort of ok second.

Lots of positives to take, but also negatives.

We lost against Blackburn reserves … amazing

On a positive note, a few have laid claim to a start on Saturday.

Yes for me

Great effort against Championship opposition. Work needed defensively but looks like we have goals in the team.

Sounded a very exciting and entertaining game on the wireless.
Looking forward to the game on Saturday. Sadler with a few decisions to ponder.

Poor management again

Used to like your posts but seems you’re becoming as negative as ancient moaner. Did you think we were playing our best 11?

Plenty to be positive about, some good individual performances and food for thought for Saddlers selection on Saturday. Nothing to be ashamed about going toe to toe with quality Championship opposition and taking them all the way. Obviously defence is a concern, work to do there but personnel changes can help support that.

Nany asked to be entertained and you got it
Work in progress to get settled team and Sadler needs time to sort out best team when all fit

You can’t use it as a negative that we lost to Blackburns reserves but a positive for individual performances?

Surely if we ā€œlost against Blackburns reservesā€ the individual positives could be said to ā€œonly be against Blackburns reservesā€?

It can’t be both ways.

If people played well it was up against whoever they were up against……

Or……

It’s Blackburns reserves so there should be some good performances? Surely?

We also made 7 changes

It did - I had a ticket but came down with a cold so stayed at home Sounds like I missed a thriller. Need to build on the positives (Tierney, Foulkes?) and learn from the negatives

And we scored 3 without DJ so that’s gotta be a plus

I am going to reserve judgement until we have Knowles, Farquharson and Drapper available. But one thing is certain, i sodding hate playing 352.
