L 4-3 vs Blackburn Rovers (A) - League Cup, Tue 8th August, 7:45pm

Shame he hasn’t rested Douglas James Taylor. Wonder what the score he will get from Walsall fan TV tonight. Can’t really get less than 2 can he. 1 possibly?

Blackburn fan here saying their team is full of kids and players that barely played in pre season

Let’s hope we don’t lose then.

May be a respectable loss then

Could turn Matt into a makeshift rwb?

It says more about the state of football to me than anything else.

It is my opinion we should have started with our strongest 11 and give ourselves the best chance of winning the game.

In a season that is destined for mid table at best, these cups offer a little something. If Blackburn want to ‘rest’ their players let them get on with it.

I know you won’t agree, I think I am probably older than you. Some of my best nights following Walsall have been in this competition.

Interesting to see how Foulkes and Tierney do tonight. Also wondering who will be the more advanced out of Comley and Stirk.

Come on Sadler get that win. Your supporter club (1 paid up member Uts member) is rooting for you. Prove us doubters wrong :rofl::rofl::rofl:

No I do agree. I’d have forecast Blackburn making changes so I’d have gone full bore and played the same side as Saturday and gone for the win….and fancied my chances….

But that leaves half a squad not playing until PJ Trophy V BHA….that’s not good for morale…

I’m struggling to find it. Was it on ifollow last season? I can’t recall as I attended the games in person.

Fascinating… do you want to expand on the relevance of that comment?

There’s a real chance to progress in this competition tonight given the changes by Blackburn - we could get a very rewarding premier league team away in the next round.

The team is disappointing for me - this isn’t the Papa Johns.

Is it available to watch did someone say? I have IPTV. I can’t buy an audio pass too? Is the option not showing for anyone else?

I disagree, Bernie. I think it’s the right thing to do. I presume we are going to see what McEntee is like as the right-sided centre back and whether Foulkes and Tierney are ready to start. It will also be interesting to see how Stirkley (or Comirk?) play together. I think we might learn a few things tonight.

Honestly don’t care what Walsall fan TV think mate.

I’m pleased DJT is starting becomes I think there’s a fag paper between him and Oteh for the second strikers spot….(Oteh shades it from what I’ve seen so far)

You can keep slating 20 year old footballers if it makes you feel more masculine online but my guess is you barely played for your Boy Scouts team whilst busy practicing knots and putting up tents.

Not really. Just making the point that of those 492 league appearances were made at grounds of this stature

Hence he might enjoy the run out and the occasion🤣

Thank you.

Did Graham Alexander play many away matches at Ewood Park during his playing career then?
