TheBigDog Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Another (winnable) game this evening. I presume that our captain and central defender Piergianni will miss out due to accumulation of 5 yellow cards. Jameson to replace him () McGahey to take the armband Dearnley and Bahamboula to play up front Larger than actual attendance to be reported… And a few stats from the ‘fishul: The Saddlers’ Last Six: W2 D2 L2 Leyton Orient 0-0 Walsall Walsall 2-1 Salford City Northampton Town 1-1 Walsall (EFL Trophy – Walsall won on pens) Exeter City 2-2 Walsall Walsall 1-2 Bristol Rovers Newport County 2-1 Walsall Head-to-Head Meetings: 62 Latics wins: 23 Walsall wins: 24 Draws: 15 Scored - 84 Conceded - 95 I’ll be watching on iFollow - let’s hope that we continue to build on the improvements shown recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It's a winnable game and one that I expect a manager of Curle's experience to find a way to win (pretty or not) against a relatively inexperienced manager like Matt Taylor. Any win with a 5th clean sheet in 6 would be ideal. However my Exeter-supporting brother was impressed with Walsall in the match a few weeks ago, saying that they were the better team on the day despite being a lot lower in the league. George Miller was a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for Mansfield when they thumped us 6-1. He also got hauled off at half time for Newport when we beat them 5-0. Always seem to be plenty of goals either way.

rudemedic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Tonight’s referee is Ross Joyce, if that name is familiar he has earnt himself a reputation in Oldham games, most notably when we lost at home to Charlton 3-4 in one of Shez’s last home games.

He should be given a medal for the great work he's done with the pitch, but I guess at this club no one will even see him leave through the doors.

Quite possibly, we’ve had a few incompetent refs at Bradford over the years. Joyce did ref a game where he gave Bradford a soft penalty and refused us a stonewall penalty, plus gave us 5 bookings to their 0. It was August bank holiday weekend 2016. But we’ve also had Ben Toner have a shocker at Bradford and someone else, I think Stockbridge, wander around trying to find the right player to book.

Wee Bobby Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 The Bradford away game he booked 8 of our players and sent one off for 2 bookings. When we played Charlton I walked into Joe Royle stand and he was warming up with his linesmen. He was only 10 yards from me and I shouted to him "hope you have a better game than last time". He and his assistants came across to me and he said " I may have made a mistake with the penalty appeal at Bradford". One of his liners said " I was lining that match but was on the other side so don't blame me." He sent Fane off in the Charlton game and it probably sent us down at the end of the day. Worst ref I have ever seen in football league. We had better in Oldham Am League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
