Screencast from mobile to TV, is that a possibility?

Just awful referring

well I tried to do that but I havenāt got a clue really. Iāll have to get my grandaughter to show me.
I found the extended hightlights on you tube so I watched on there.
Extended highlights are on there, full match replays too with a paid subscription.

I think the Sky Sports app itself disallows screen casting from mobiles.
There is a Windows version of the Sky Sports app though (and NowTV for those without a Sky subscription). Depending on the interfaces that the laptop/PC and TV support, you might be able to directly connect and view it that way?
And although the app is not a native one in the Amazon store, you can sideload the Sky Sports app on a Firestick - Iāve done it myself so I can watch the Sunday EPL games if Iām in the kitchen where we donāt have a Virgin box. It is a bit tricky though (especially as you need a couple of other apps and fiddling to make it work properly) so probably only an option for those with a bit of tech nous. If anyone wants to know, I can supply details (lengthy so via DM rather than sidetrack a thread?)
That was a great watch and yet again shows how much of a together team we have, all for one etc etc.
Made me smile right at the end with Jellisā little look to camera!!
He just loves it, doesnāt he!!

ah yeah apologies, usually arrives on the Monday. I tend to look at any clubās we are playing to see if they have uploaded on the sunday on their OS now.
I thought for the first 15 minutes we were lost, looking for Lowe, but he wasnāt there. The sign of how good this team is, is that they soon worked out how to adapt the attacks. It was a real acid test and past Walsall teams have wilted at moments like these but this lot just bloomed, this is special.

Brilliant analysis. Not sure how this approach would/will translate further up the divisions, but certainly adds something to the previous debates about possession being essential to promotion from League 2. MS has created a bit of a cheat code.

I see no reason why it wouldnāt work further up the leagues. It would obviously depend on having players good enough to do the jobs against better players and managers. If you look back at last season now, we were trying to play the same way but didnāt quite have the players to execute it consistently enough. The good thing is when you have a clear idea how you want to play, you can recruit exactly for that and the recruitment this summer was about as good as you can do.
With playing out from the back and possession football becoming more fashionable by the week, it should suit us. We will no doubt come up against better managers who will start to find ways to counter what we are doing.
The thing I love about it is that even though we donāt have much of the ball, it doesnāt feel like that. It is so exciting to watch, because every time we have the ball it feels like we have a chance of scoring.

Really good point. Weāre kind of dispelling the old adage that the opposition canāt hurt you if they donāt have the ball.
I donāt watch as much football these days outside of watching Walsall but the bits I have caught, there seem to be several goals every week where teams are getting caught out trying to play out from the back and refusing to do anything else. Having the ball seems more dangerous these days! Iām not saying that style canāt work of course. Our style is like nothing I have ever seen before though.
I think we have shown enough against League 1 clubs this season to show we will be just fine at the level above. We may even surprise a few people if we manage to get a few gems in during the summer.

We do not play in the same way but both the old Wimbledon and Watford reached the top league playing in a certain style and they did it carrying a number of the same players through the divisions.

We definitely need expert analyst Jamie Carragher with his sky screen to explain this strange phenomenon how we play. Im sure heāll have a counter plan .the numbty

We play a high line as well as conceding possession, so we are essentially squeezing the opposition into the the centre of the pitch.
It makes no sense to outsiders who are using stats, but it works and its incredible to watch. 
Its not just fitness, its belief too. These guys dont believe in defeat. Nothing appears to phase them, we will just carry on playing the way we do and it works itself out.
I have to agree with you. This is the most effective team Iāve seen in over 70 years supporting Walsall. My only slight cavil is that with the number of chances we create, perhaps we should be scoring more goals.
Mind you, as the divisionās top scorers by some margin, that does sound nothing short of greedy

We are never satisfied are we? After 9 goals in the last two home games we still want more.
In the league we have scored 52 goals in 25 matches, an average of 2.08 goals per game. Our expected goals per game, 1.55, is easily the highest in the division, but the difference between xG and goals scored is also very high - higher than 90 of the other 91 clubs in the top four divisions.
Expected goals is far from perfect, but it would suggest that we are doing pretty well at converting our chances.
