Not as many as you fellas but 38 years for me so far supporting us. You certainly go through rubbish and mediocrity times as a Walsall fan so when you have good times it feels like the greatest day of you life!!

50 for meā¦.. made up ofā¦
Tears, joy, frustration, excitement, agony and ecstasy (not much of the latter admittedly!)
And a fair few quid spent - much of it on unexplainable trips around the country for a reason even I canāt explainā¦.

Correction - 51 years nearlyā¦ 1st game 26/10/74ā¦.
67 years for me and aside from the last three months of last season Iāve loved it, moaned like a good un lost count of the highs and lows but no matter what I canāt walk away.

Recalled by Bournemouth due to the injury.

To be fair mate, you cover for his lack of negative posts, and about 500 others

How can they do that, when Ben Sadler says impossible to recall in the same window??
There will be caveats, they will want to control his treatment for one, asset protection etc.
Ben Sadler sort of hinted that they had done it to assist us with bringing in a replacement.

It was a mutual decision by both clubs which is allowed wheen there are mitigating circumstances such as injury.
I presume if we asked Rochdale (which I hope we didnāt) they would say no and then that would have been the end of the chance of a recall.
I really feel for Stuttle And Hancock both young players who must have had great expectations for the coming season at a new club ,to suffer a serious injury like they both seem to have this early in there careers can be pretty devastating to a young player .and both will feel pretty down and need all the professional help the can get .there confidence for there future in the game will be really low . I agree with Mat Sadler saying Walsall fc wish Stuttle our very best wishes speedy a good recovery and Iām sure all Walsall fans wish him the same .Iāve known a couple or young 18 year olds personally whoāve suffered similar injuries and the really hard part for young players is itās probably at the toughest and most competitive time of their your young career.which is the really hard part for them .I personally wish them both the very best and I hope there back soon playing the game they love .

Do we know exactly what both playersā injuries are?
Probably waiting on scans and top specialist consultant diagnosis.but there own club doctor/ surgeon will have a pretty good idea .but they wonāt say yet till they have the full picture and extent of the injury.also it tends to be the case a lot these days that clubs donāt but that much info out on players injuries could be to do withe everyoneās medical history is private and they might have to take this into account

Both out for a considerable amount of time. That was clear on Tuesday night

I am genuinely absolutely gutted for both players and wish them well with there recovery. Only right that Bournemouth recall him and help support there player through this as we will with Hancock and Harry Williams.

A great shame for the lad. I know quite a few were unconvinced by Stuttle but I thought he looked good and would have done well for us once he got off the mark and if we had put balls through for some of the runs he made. Never really got going, what with coming off after 20 mins against Swindon and then getting this injury so early in the season.
I wish him well, Iām sure we will bump into him one day.

I wish the lad well. I thought he showed some promise whilst with us but clearly had a lot to learn. I think he would have improved as the season progressed. As for Hancock on the evidence of a few games he looked a good player.I hope the injury isnāt as bad as feared and he is soon back fighting for a place in the team. At least we have Harper to cover and maybe Maher will now come into the match day squad.

Hancock is the one that has stuck out for me, he could of been a very important player for us this season with his quality balls into the box.
Hope the injury isnāt as bad as it looked, and heās soon back playing for us.
