Walsall 2:3 Bradford City

by Willenhall Lad

A disappointing end to the season in the end as Walsall went down 2-3 after being two up. Quite a tense atmosphere as well in front of a big crowd that saw old striker Andy Cook return to score twice to see Saddlers chances of a playoff place disappear. Not quite the way I was […]

Walsall 2:1 Swindon Town

by Willenhall Lad

Finally, Mat Sadler got it. In desperation he put on four forwards and the result was a match winning 89th minute goal from Danny Johnson to earn Walsall a valuable win and go within 1 point of 7th place Crawley. A tense match was enlivened by The Nephew successfully completing the “Hit the Crossbar” competition […]

Walsall 1:3 Notts County

by Willenhall Lad

Walsall were mainly outplayed by Notts County in this match as the opposition were a very good side, probably the best I’ve seen up The Bescot for some time. This did quite a lot to dent Walsall’s hopes of the play-offs but other results meant that the damage was limited and they remain 3 points […]

Walsall 2:1 Salford City

by Willenhall Lad

Don’t think I have seen Salford City before but this was a hard, hard game against Karl Robinson’s (an ex-player for the Saddlers) team that bullied Walsall throughout but ended up losing through a Mo Faal goal that went through the goalies legs. Matt gave Walsall the lead early on with a bullet header from […]

Walsall 3:1 Doncaster Rovers

by Willenhall Lad

A damn cold day but an important one if Walsall were to keep up the momentum for a play-off push and after a cagey start they did just that. Here’s the BBC match report. Doncaster look a side that’s lost confidence, but looked dangerous on occasions. Typical of this was the headed back-pass that looped […]

Walsall 2:1 Accrington Stanley

by Willenhall Lad

A cold February night out with the Brother-in-Law and Nephew was brightened up somewhat by an excellent game of football. BBC match report here. “Stanley” are a rare club having been thrown out of the league in 1962 and have taken a epic resurrection to get them back to playing in the major leagues again. […]

Southampton 4:0 Walsall

by Willenhall Lad

First game of the new year saw us travel to see Walsall in the 3rd round of the FA Cup to play Southampton. First time I had seen an away FA fixture ever. They lost 4-0 but gave Southampton too much respect for the first 25 minutes and by then they were 1-0 down. Walsall […]

Walsall 2:0 Crewe Alexandra

by Willenhall Lad

Our traditional Boxing Day outing to The Bescot saw Walsall beat Crewe 2-0 in a tight, competitive game after a slow start. Yes it took Walsall some time to get going against Crewe’s press and their physicality did put them under pressure – one or two heavy tackles against Tom Knowles saw him sprawled on […]

Walsall 0:1 Harrogate Town

by Willenhall Lad

A disappointing performance from Walsall saw them lose against an unconvincing Harrogate side. Walsall seemed not to have the guile or determination to force the issue against Harrogate who looked a bit fragile and as their confidence grew, Walsall looked more vulnerable as the game wore on. In the end, a goalkeeping error from Evans […]

Walsall 1:1 Crawley Town

by Willenhall Lad

A rare Tuesday night game under the lights saw Walsall once gain fail to hold on to lead in what was definitely a game of two halves, especially for the referee. I went with the Brother-in-Law and Nephew for a change – it wasn’t particularly cold either and 4,100 turned out for this mid-table match-up. […]
