In control for the first & the second half until we made changes....but the perfect time to score.

I thought we had the under real pressure for the first time in the game just before the first one

We just started to apply pressure then the substitutions sucked the life out of us again.
Dreadful game. Fantastic results.

Walsall have a well organised defence from what I saw in both games against us, but they look a very boring side.

I detest that stuff. The sad thing is that it makes some kind of sense, but if you've got a corner you should be pressing home the attack and looking for more goals. Can't do with the negative stuff - it's no better than the cheating ball-boys of Peterborough.

That's just what I said to the guy sitting alongside me I cant believe we wasting time with 5mins left instead of going for the second goal to kill the game as we have the momentum up.

Have you tried rugby?
I don't like getting caught out on the break while trying to get another goal in the dying minutes of the game.

I thought we did a thoroughly proffessional job after we scored. We closed the game out.
Why do folk think it's a bad thing?

Have say it wasn't very easy on the eye....but the table looks much better tonight!!!

I wonder if a study has ever been undertaken as to the benefit of attempting to play 'keep the ball' versus continue as normal when it comes to corners for a winning side. Certaiinly when we try it, we always seem turn the ball over to the opposition very quickly.

Low key game, low key atmosphere (other than some bizarre songs from our midland guests; do a club ten times larger like Wolves sing about the Saddlers? What was that stuff about Shrewsbury, too? And the IRA and ISIS? Blimey, those Walsall fans really do have some issues to deal with!) and a low key performance.
Even if we were in comfortable control for most of the ninety.
I thought it had nil-nil written all over it until we scored from a set piece (honestly - it's true!), especially as the introduction of Dieseruvwe, Harrison and Ariyibi seemed to lessen our threat. Clearly all three have work to do if they're to bridge the gap between potential and delivery.
Is L1 a great deal weaker than four years ago or has our own bar been considerably raised?
Either way that sixth place is still tantalisingly within reach regardless of how convincing we appear.
Oh, and PS: terrific to see a competent ref for a change. Well done Kevin Friend.
