League Two 24/25 - The Other 23

Not that many, most of them have been frustrating draws. Cheltenham away wasn’t really a must win but the collapse in injury time was a bigger mental drain than we thought at the time given not one game has been won since.

Not beating a very average Gillingham side home or away within a few weeks of both fixtures was also very disappointing.

At least the draws with Donny and Wimbledon have kept them at arms length but the excuses have run out now, have to win tomorrow.

Imagine being a Walsall player “going into work” tomorrow. What’s infront of you is what you would have regarded as a routine day a few months ago. You know you’ve got what it takes, you’ve got about 7,000 people willing to turn up and roar you on to it, you’ve got the chance, whatever career path the summer takes you on, to be a hero remembered for generations in a community which you represent, to do something that will greatly enhance your hard earned career as a professional footballer, that could benefit you and your family hugely.

If there’s a group chat for Walsall FC staff, and Ben Sadler wants to borrow the above to post on it instead of asking supporters to do stuff…he’s more than welcome :waving_hand: :victory_hand:

Potentially now just over week away from automatic promotion, that’s scary.

We win 3 (I know i know, we can’t win, 2 wins in 17, Sadler out) and that puts us on 81, with one to spare.

We have a better goal difference, even better if we win 3, which could be key.

Bradford have to play Doncaster.

Bradford win, most Doncaster can get to is 81.

Draw, most Bradford can get to is 81, Doncaster 82.

Doncaster win, most Bradford can get to is 80.

Doncaster i think haven’t beaten a single team in the top 10 this season, they have Notts County, Bradford and Colchester to play.

Not saying we need to rely on others, we need to do our part most definitely.

But which ever way you look at it now, we now have the chance to seal it.

Three huge games, all must win.

Then we can all go to Crewe and listen to @Stretch singing Sadler is our king.

Far too many!!

Good post. Lets forget about our form. It’s now or never. Lets raise the roof at the Bescot today and get 3 points. Excited! UTS!!!

There absolutely has to be a reset now.

I feel like the tone on here has changed and I’m feeling positive that we’ll suddenly kick in to gear and bring it home.

Hopefully the energy in the camp has changed as well.

Whatever has happened, we have some very good players for this level and can absolutely do this. Starting today.

Let’s go and get promoted!

UTS

It’s time to deliver a “Good Friday” feeling… cannot wait for this one, excitement rather than the dreaded fear that accompanied the game against “The Vile”. I am less fussed about the team selection as the reality is whoever crosses the white line in minute 1 or minute 89 (although suspect that will be DJ) I genuinely believe they will give their all. Looks like a healthy crowd in response to the ticket offer and the massive stakes! All my energy will be focussed on the positives until after the final whistle and will keep that going for the trip down to South Wales on Monday morning. We are due a better performance after the Barrow debacle, yes there will be a huge amount of pressure but a cauldron of home support against a small Harrogate following can be a huge advantage, so come on boys give us something to fire us up early and we have got this

Get behind the lads like we know we can, but more importantly don’t get on anyones back, if people are not impressed wait till after the game please.

Can’t believe how many chances we’ve been given to make the automatics, please don’t screw it up lads.

Yes, and I can hear that being echoed by fans of 3/4 other clubs it really has turned barmy up at the top of late .

My son was at Barrow with his father-in-law (Carlisle fan) & went with him today to brunton park. He was far more impressed with Carlisle than us last week.
He really enjoyed it when the Carlisle goalie saved an injury time penalty to deny Port Vale a point!
Sad that yet again we didn’t take advantage!

Near impossible because Bradford play Doncaster

Plus, as League 2 has shown many times over the season, it doesn’t always go to plan :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Agreed. Only thing almost guaranteed is that we won’t win another game this season. It’s over.

So disappointing.

Further enhanced because both Port Vale and Wimbledon dropped points, allowing yet another window of opportunity to present itself and go squandered.

We’re still in it, but Monday is massive!

Today was massive too and that’s why it feels like it does tonight

Massive it might be on Monday but the outcome is likely to be similar to what we’ve been accustomed to these past 3 months

The weakest link and all that - all roads point to MS office….

I really hope we do. And if we do, I really hope I don’t hear the “We’re top of the league” song, it was cringe for months while it was slipping away slowly.

3rd place on goal difference at the end of the final game would do me, as it always would have. As unlikely as it seems right now.

I really don’t care if we go up in 3rd automatically now as long as we go up , but it is such a let down when we really should of gone up as champions from the position we were in.

Maybe as a last resort Walsall twin with Crewe and there carry us over the line Brownlee style

League Two since mid January
