Superb pass for the first goal and made us tick in the middle along with the two enforcers Missilou and Sylla.
Callum Lang has got three lungs I'm sure
Although merit has been in very short supply for many years now, I think we have more in the way of history/tradition and I dare say we are more recognised than them as football club with some history. Means nowt in the here and now though.
Our fanbase has always been what you would call "compact", so measured in those terms we are one of the smallest these days.
I know a few who once we fell out of the premier league and continued to drop started watching the sky blue money pit down the road which personally makes me rather cross...
May 2009 Walsall 1 - Latics - 2 Ryan Brooke scoring the winner last game of Joe Royles second stint in charge.
I was sat with my mate and his father in law who is a Walsall fan in their end , could barely keep quiet...
Danny whittaker was playing for us then
Stoke away, fa cup, think it was a tues or wed eve. Darren Beckford diving header, I was right behind the goal, one nil win against run of play.
Stoke fans in the tier above us chucking alsorts down on us.

Its ALs club, he needs to reign "our kid" in then, because brother or not the buck stops with AL when things start coming apart, which it seems they are
Talking of ruthless, had we been more so with our chances in the second half the points would have been ours.
Swindon were a decent looking mobile unit but for all their industry didn't have too much in the way of end product, typical Wellens team.
But as we all know in these challenging times the buck stops with the guy on the touchline, regardless of the actions of the players.
This is a mediocre team we have in my opinion, and I thought well theres always next season when we can get some fresh blood in under PS, that obviously didn't happen but then along comes PW and gets another tune out of the squad and the daft mistakes stop - that could yet prove to be an element of luck on PWs part but I think he is just better at motivating and organising them than PS was.
I agree, as I keep saying on other posts my criticism of PS doesn't translate to support of AL, as you say the chairman is extremely unpopular and a lot anecdotal stuff backs this up.
Scholes still used the surrounding issues as a cushion for his failings in the manager role (in my opinion)
Seven games in charges isn't long enough I agree but its all we have to judge PS on because he didn't give it any longer.
