Agreed. Why is there always a call for ex-players even when they did not do well? There is a reason why he might become 4th choice at Barnsley.

The thing is, he stepped up two divisions to play for us. Not only that, we were useless, only won 5 games all season, and a couple of those were because of Stuart Rimmer later in the season, who was obviously far better. Banton was also carrying a knee injury. It was just a bad move for him (and us) As you say it ruined his career really.

When we have signed players they have beem announced, when players have left it’s been announced, new contract been announced … what more can they communicate

I know what you are saying Aldridge, I think what RJW meant was off Sadler or regards Sadler himself, or at least that’s what I hope, cuz as you say they have communicated as much as they can otherwise.

No thank you.

Exactly what I meant. Yes we are getting all the announcements re players coming and going I just feel he needs to step up and show us he’s committed to improving the team and apologise for last season.

Same cant belive there has been nothing from saddler or club to say they are sticking with him in nearly 50 years of following walsall I have never felt so flat in pre season. Normally its great who we are signing how will we get on in the new season do they think we can just forget what happened. Saddler needs to come out and say something we might not like what he says but at least show some balls and not just pretend nothings wrong.

Dont hold your breath mate…

Oh dear. I started supporting 93/94 so missed out on this gem.

Decent era to start supporting us, to be fair. You missed a lot of pain. Not that you haven’t had a fair bit yourself.

Yeah first 10 years was quite something. Middle 10 years bit of this, bit of that. Last 10 years…

It’s a really strange situation. For a lot of fans on social media, the anger doesn’t seem to have subsided at all.

I can see the fans forum being a bit feisty and could even see Sadler getting stick in the pre-season friendlies as they’re not far off now.

If it doesn’t settle (and I personally don’t think it will), it’ll be a really weird position to start a season from.

Heard we have signed a bloke who is a goal machine in non-league. 120+ goals in 90 games

Jake Tabor?

I think that lad has gone on trial at Swindon so doubt we have signed him

Didn’t his mate post something like ā€œgood luck at Walsallā€ ?
