Newport County (H) Sunday 29 Dec, 3pm

In fact I think it comes off the Newport defenders (whitmore) arm then bizarrely another Newport player harangues the ref about it being hand ball :joy:

Take a bow, Nathan Lowe!

Lowe now the L2 leading goalscorer. And Simkin is in pole position for the golden gloves (11 clean sheets in 21 games).

Good speaker but terrible footballer. Stoke would be wise to loan him us for the duration of his contract on the off chance he improves. We will reluctantly take him. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Another Magnificent Mean Machine performance, it’s almost like Groundhog day now , the performances are repetitive we are that good and have been since September.

All the talk is Lowe going back to Stoke but this is a complete team with 11 inter changeable parts, we see it every game , yes Lowe has a future ahead of him but is he anymore key than Harry , Stirk or Jamma. I can’t see Stoke recalling him and if they do I expect we will have a moneyball solution sorted by the end of January.

The meander to 83 pts is now down to 34 points from 24 games or

9 wins
7 draws
8 defeats

The light brigade charge to 100 is a dream that lives on day to day , 51 points from 24 games

15 wins
6 draws
3 defeats

We’ve got this.

I would take a 0-0 right now.

Why, when we won 2-0? :sunglasses:

Our ground is tragic when there’s a half decent gate, you want a pint in the lower you’ve literally gotta down about the 30th minute mark to be served quickly

Still needs a massive improvement on the service

That’s what we do. Take it in turns each home game to send someone on the 30th min and even then whoever gone still standing in the queue by the time it’s half time. They need pop up bars in the corners like you get at the cricket and more bloody stock.

i read that too - maybe its wishful thinking. Imagine… Feb 1, door shuts - we have Lowe and Freddie - Dreamland stuff

But did his body language match his words?

Looks like they have made MS wear a new top with all the letters on, the whole name … :wink: :joy:

Seriously though …Brilliant again yesterday, play adequately first half weighing up the opposition and then take control of proceedings second half.

I do hope we can keep Lowe as I feel trying to put him in a struggling Championship side could ruin his developement.

Absolutely love that second goal…

People pressing their players, giving their tiring legs no time on the ball, resulting in a rushed clearance.
Then TA’s first touch kills the ball, sees the pass into Lowe and in an instant delivers it.

Lowes first headed touch perfectly into his stride and the coup de grâce, a clinical strike into bottom corner.

Sums up what we’ve been about in this first half of the season.

P.s just love the goalkeepers reaction as it whistled past him into the net. Forlornly dropping to his knees thinking, you’ve done me like a kipper there son :facepunch:

Many a season’s I (we) would have been sat there thinking, it will end in a dull 0-0, no way are we scoring. But not now, even when things are not going well, I (we) know there are goals and clean sheets in this team.

The fittest Walsall squad I can ever remember.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting it is all Nathan Lowe, it is as you say a well oiled machine.

I think we would go on and finish the job without him from this point, but there is no denying he is the difference sometimes in close games. We are absolutely smashing this with some ease if he stays for the rest of the season.

Yep, I usually don’t give a fk but this season you don’t wanna miss a minute :rofl:

Certainly don’t. I missed a minute the other day coming back from half time and missed a goal by a second coming out the stand!

Did mean I was handly placed for the celebration though😃
