***Walsall Official Matchday Thread (Tues 13/2/24)***

We were poor again against a poor side. I felt sorry for Scott who was shouting forward forward and the players natural instinct to go back took over after 10 minutes and reduced us to walking pace.
Cory was an enigma again - some really tremendous saves but awful kicking and a lack of ownership in the box.
Lot of work to do and much up and downs to come but on this performance more downs than ups but as we are safe we can enjoy the ups and not spend too much time on the downs!

Quite possibly. Didn't one of our players get booked for similar a few weeks back?

As others have said on here, SL was saying in his post match interview that it wasn’t a penalty.

He said our defender pulled away from the tackle and “didn’t touch him”. It was a dive.

Couldn’t see it massively clearly from where I was sitting.

Got a better view of our goal though, lovely lay off by Orsi then that shot from Kelly went in like a bloody bullet. What a strike.

The ball would still be flying towards Brighton area now if the net hadn’t got in the way and stopped it.

Tsaroulla has certainly looked less effective playing on the right.

In the last 3 home games we have had a total of 9 shots on target as opposed to 23 from the opposition (12 from Salford). Need to improve on Saturday if we want to start winning again.

It's odd that I don't remember him, but his stay might have coincided with when my health was rough for a few months and came to few games.

I’m guessing 2000 people chanting “w@nker w@nker w@nker” before you take a penalty is always gonna influence how you celebrate scoring it….

Weird really
