Don't think we've lost at home to a team as low as 19th in a league table since Maidenhead behind closed doors three years ago.

I could have won some YAPS today as this morning I was feeling 1-2 but hadn't got the heart to put it down.

Playoffs is starting to look like an outside bet…..

10k notts fans there today it might be down to 7k by Morcambe.

Say what you like but the defensive shambles has clearly drained the confidence of the team.

All Notts promotion teams have had tight defenses, 38 goals we have let in from 21 games, only 2 teams in the whole division have let in more, Its something Notts MUST adress

Yes both teams were poor, but out of the 2 poor teams, Walsall were streets ahead today

It’s a poor performance all round. We didn’t even think the game was worth a match thread.

It would have been better if the game had never gone ahead at all today

Nowhere to hide with this one.

We are still 2 points ahead of where the Munto team were at after 21 games (they lost game 21 at home to Accrington), but we are now 2 pts behind the Allardyce promotion team and 6 pts behind the Nolan play off season.

Down to 16th in the current form table.

With so many teams now with a game or two in hand, the PPG table is the more 'honest' reflection of where we're at this evening, but we are still 6th.

Max - PPG - Projected Pts
1. Stockport Co - 118 __ 2.05 __ 94
2. Mansfield T. - 117 __ 1.89 __ 87
3. Barrow - 115 __ 1.85 __ 85
4. Wrexham - 115 __ 1.85 __ 85
5. Crewe Alex. - 114 __ 1.80 __ 83
6. Notts County - 111 __ 1.71 __ 79
7. Wimbledon - 109 __ 1.55 __ 71
8. Gillingham - 109 __ 1.55 __ 71

Its a difficult one, because of the weather and wind, it nullifies our attacking advantage, and what is left is a battling game where you need to roll your sleeves up and battle, sadly Walsall were much better than us at that

Williams has NEVER shown any sign of addressing it.

Not looking forward to hear him say Walsall were 'Brilliant' as he always does about the opposition.
