Walsall 4:1 Gillingham

by Willenhall Lad

Walsall are a strange side at the moment. Hammered 4-0 by Sutton United last week and this week they smashed fourth in the table Gillingham 4-1. At times it was back to wall stuff but Hutchinson scored a hat-trick to make the game comfortable for the Saddlers. Gillingham played some nice football at times but […]

Walsall 2:1 Stockport County

by Willenhall Lad

First game of the new season and a good advert for the new management. Also, were were down to me and the brother-in-law as the nephew was in Canada. After a nervous start, Walsall took the initiative and a clever move down the right saw Johnson score after the Stockport defence was bullied by Freddie […]

Easter 2023

by Willenhall Lad

This has been a very traditional Easter break – bit sad without my Dad but we’ve got to get on with it and not bleat. Finishing work on Thursday, I popped up The Min for a quiet beer with the locals to be told of the chap whose dog bit my arm had managed to […]

Walsall 1:1 Sutton United

by Willenhall Lad

I’ve always wanted to see Sutton United  since they played Leeds United in 1970 and were beaten 6-0. I hated Revies side even though I liked some of the players Like Jack Charlton, Mick Jones and local lad Allan Clarke who didn’t sing for the Hollies. I’ve seen 13 games this season, so far, mostly […]

Walsall 1:3 Bristol Rovers

by Willenhall Lad

In what was one of the poorest performances by Walsall in many a year this Boxing day game wasn’t what we wanted to watch in the holiday season. Out-muscled, out-thought and thoroughly out-played summed up this dismal performance and the knock on effect was we didn’t go the the Luton match and we aren’t going […]

Walsall 1-1 Sunderland

by Willenhall Lad

Another great FA Cup of football at The Bescot saw Walsall come from behind to gain a replay at the Stadium of Light. The crowd was a bit disappointing from the 7,750 the week before and once again Sunderland dominated in parts but came back and outplayed them especially in the second half. Cook had […]

Walsall 0:1 Accrington Stanley

by Willenhall Lad

What promised to be a promised 3-0 thrashing by Walsall turned out to be another dour affair with Accrington taking the lead early on after a clumsy challenge by Osbourne  in the penalty area. Accrington resigned from the League back in 1962 and were reformed in 1968 so they’ve always been on of English Football’s […]

Walsall 1:4 Doncaster Rovers

by Willenhall Lad

A game very much disrupted by bad refereeing and smart football by Doncaster. A good crowd saw Walsall lose their 100% start to the season by a team who know how to play the dirty side of football in other word, diving, trips and elbows everywhere. Walsall need to be smarter in this respect if […]

A bus stop in Oldham

by Willenhall Lad

That’s one of the chants the Walsall away supporters made about Rochdale which me chuckle somewhat as this is the first away game I’ve been to with Walsall since 2014 when we saw Shrewsbury in the FA Cup. Being an away fan is a strange experience as for a start you are corralled with all […]

Walsall 2-1 Gillingham

by Willenhall Lad

First game of the new season with my Dad and Nephew saw an exhilarating game and a well deserved win for Walsall who played some great football at times and look and lot more enterprising under the new manager. Read the match report here. It’s been a while since we’ve been to a game as […]
