Statement from Ben Sadler

I’m sure he had/has other reasons other than what Walsall fans think.

I don’t agree with what Sephiroth92 said, although I think he is possibly trolling a little on here.

I am thankful that the Club is showing big improvements in all areas, but come on, honestly, how could Ben Boycott understand? Not that he needs to.

I’ve woken up and I’m absolutely buzzing. Nothing but positivity and hope today ( until I see the line up anyway). Come on me babies, we’re long overdue a win. It’s time for Sadler to earn his plaudits if he pulls this 1 off over the next 2 weeks.

How many years has it been since Saturday morning has been so full of “possibility and excitement”. I am loving this season, experiences home and away with my 22year old son, whom I have dragged him kicking and screaming to Bescot since he was around 8 or 9. He experienced Wembley, a few terrific away days but nothing quite like this, tbf in my almost 50 years of following The Saddlers there have been few seasons like this one as we all know. I have recently “feared the worst” as Ben eludes to BUT I am still dreaming. 4 home wins, given the challengers we face in two of them could be enough so we can be the extra motivation a young faltering squad need. MS has his part to play too with a match day XI at 2pm needing to spark a little extra excitement and anticipation, then it’s down to us to roar the the lads over the white line and then the players to come out with “fire in the belly”… todays crowd will be huge and with a performance today the place will be rocking which would fill ALL with a huge amount of much needed confidence before Donny on Tuesday. Saturday against The Vile doesn’t need any hype but two good performances and some points on the board will make that as big an event as Bescot has seen since the Preston semi final. I am desperate for 1pm to arrive so I can set off for the pre match nerve settlers, the rest of the day is a write off until then as I simply have one focus … getting behind the lads to do all I can to get another 3 pts on the board, I know we all feel the same so COYS on and off the pitch WE’VE GOT THIS

Thats what relegation form does to you I suppose.

I wouldnt want to be in the business of telling fans how to think.

The 9000 crowd today probably shows thay the fans are right behind them.

When he should be thinking maybe I should have pulled my finger out in January ? Instead of peacocking on Twitter and delivered without the silly statements.

Some of you lads are all fun aren’t you

Probably the biggest day of the season and you can’t even try to be a tad more optimistic…

Never mind - have a great day

I’m optimistic about a result and I’ll be fully behind the team. Doesn’t mean I have to like being told to get behind the lads from one of the blokes who had the biggest chance to get behind them in January and didn’t …

Bit late asking us for help Ben when they’ve blown the lead and none of the signings you made can get a kick.

The statement he made may have been a bit naive, but I don’t think he has anything to do with the players we bring in (I could be wrong) and he certainly has nothing to do with not selecting any of the ones we did.

He has been a massive upgrade on his predecessors. That is how you make progress: by getting better people into all areas of the Club.

Rallying call to the fans is fine. We all want success

Hopefully the CEO will have been having a word with the manager about how he plans to reverse the terrible form in Feb and March.

No need for that kind of thing really.

I don’t agree with a lot of peoples posts, but most people on here are genuine Walsall fans, even if they have different views.

Suppose it could have been worse, could have called him a Villa fan :wink:

Think that’s an excellent, well worded statement and call to arms by Ben.

Careful now, they’re chucking people in jail for 2 years for far less abusive posts than calling him that these days🤣

Eh. Let’s see a bit of improvement then. Fans have done their bit.

We were there Ben we turned up

Where were you lot ?

Still dreaming, I think.

Bens statement that mattered was on Feb 3rd at 11pm. The time the window shut. Anything else and hes just channelling his inner Pomlett
