I said I wasn't drinking tonight but I had to get a bottle to drown my sorrows as I collected the views

As always, Cheers Panchero.

I really appreciate the effort you take doing this pal, genuinely, but I cannot bring myself to click that link just yet.

We were beaten by a big, fast, clogging team, with one good footballer. I still need to work out what went wrong (more importantly, CW and AK need to work that out and fix it).

Yeah, took me a while to motivate myself to do it so can understand
 
Thanks Roy and having been there today I think their fans comments are fair, the more adventurous smarter and more tactically aware team won.

We had lots of possession and get forward to the edge of their box quick enough but when we get there we just go sideways and fiddle about on the wings and it all comes to nothing. By contrast they drew us onto them and then tried to hit us quickly and make fast inroads into our box and got their just rewards. Their keeper was superb today, didn't put a foot wrong, I'd have him without hesitation, worth 15 points a season, ours had a mare and I worry he may have the Long syndrome.

Several teams have sussed how to nullify our 3-5-2 set up, draw us onto them get our wing back up high and then pinch the ball and get forward to our box quickly while we have few to defend it. We make it easy for them by just going sideways on the edge of their box, they just have to be patient and nick it when they can. No decent movement in our box and no little balls to play anyone in like they did. Billy didn't do much that was threatening today, nor at Southend, but can't fault his effort.

Remarkably balanced from them under the circumstances and fairly accurate. Out done by a better team on the day and credit to them but they won't finish higher than 10th.

I'm surprised as their calm summary to be honest. All seems fairly measured and fair.
 



Decent views, not what I expected at all. Thought there would be a lot of gloating.
Let's now draw a line under today. There will be nervy fans next Saturday though. Need to get behind the team whatever happens.

Agree with that and I really hope Moore wasn't too knocked back by today. Wilder and Knill have some work to do with the players this week, on the mental side more than anything.

While considering their tactics. Hopefully they will all learn, while we fans learn to be patient.
 
Credit where its due, they smashed us.
Oh and cheers my colourful arch of defracted light.
 
Sometimes as football fans , we have to hold up your hands and say the better team won .
Today that team was Walsall ,
it won't happen many times this season so where just going to have to suck it up ,
The fans , manager and players will now that wasn't a good day at the office ,
Win next week and we can be up to 9 points up on third .

Good point of us being patient , as we have been getting above our station with , ifs , buts , and maybes .

Some fans tempt fate , and think we just have to turn up to win .

Funny game today , lost but not downhearted as it was of our own making . We were not outplayed or tactically out thought . We were out fought which is a worry , but Wilder will sort it .


It does put more emphasis on who Wilder brings in and lets go in the JTW.

Would we have it any other way - No Sir .

UTB

But can't fault his effort. That's great.

And Hull Shitty at Boothferry Park in 1983-84 season when we went up against them knowing we were already promotion rivals. Went one down early doors, Morris equalised, and we went looking for a winner before a late 20 minute collapse saw us lose 4-1. Today reminded me of thay long ago game. Fact is we still went up though.

A blip today. It will get sorted by CW. Utd will be worthy champions come the seasons end i have no doubts.
