Walsall born so he is probably a secret Saddler
DJ to start for me give the lad a run of games and a chance to shake off a little rustyness.
Combined age of 72
Jammaās running about like a 25 year old at the moment fittest heās ever been he told a pal of mine.
His body is getting older now though and no matter what, heās more prone to injury. Hope not though obviously
That reminds of what someone put online last week. Shankly used to do this ahead of games, buttering up the opposition to flatter them. He called it, āgiving them a lollipopā. Then they were brought down to earth.
Wigan did it to us spectacularly back in 1980 at Springfield Park. Already promoted, a win would see us go up as champions. Wigan players lined up as a guard of honour, applauding us onto the pitch as we emerged from the tunnel. Puffed up and proud, we got stuffed 3-0.
No doubt Sadler wonāt get caught out.
These are just my feelings about today.This game is by no means a must win but my feelings are that if we do lose today youāll get everyone saying that this is the start of our collapse and that we canāt cope without Lowe.We all know how it works so just to basically prove a point and nip that all in the bud Iād love us to just not lose todays game.Iām not saying thatās how I feel at all because we have been so so good this season and I am massively proud of the players, itās just how others grab on to any little chink in the armor.
Iām hoping the team, like us are feeling this way too and put in an even more convincing display and give these a bloody nose.
Hope we make a statement to all the other teams in this league.
We are not a one player side.
Weāve seen throughout this season when we lose we bounce back , if this week we donāt , donāt panic , donāt blame the fact Lowe has gone
Lowe wasnāt here at the start of the season and we didnāt do to badly
Same old Walsall is no more , have belief and trust in the process
Get behind the boys whatever
Anyone got any weird superstitions when weāre on a winning run? My mates have just told me I have to drink in the Locker because itās what weāve done through this run.
Theyāve done me with irrational logic - the gets.
Iām going through the left hand side turnstile, even if thereās a queue and the right hand one is freeā¦
Bet the arm didnāt need much twisting Fray to convince you to have a drink before the match lol
Same shirt and hoodie for each of the wins, I will be wearing the same today lol
Same turnstile, same coat and same Walsall top for each game of this run.
The lad that throws the flares will no doubt have it in the same secret pocket as last time!
Idiotā¦.
Remember that game. I lied i was bloody pissed leaning over the wall!!!
Iām going to this one with dad first game at the ground in ages ! Iām the oap stand though instead of upper as less steps
Hereās hoping we win
Hope you both enjoy the game - letās all hope for the 3 points but Iād personally be happy with 1 todayā¦
Token resistance was given.
