I get the frustrations, I’m disappointed with the result. But, it’s not the end of world.
Some big overreactions.
JOB did nothing again? Can’t comment on today’s game as not there. But, he’s certainly contributed in previous games?
Will be interested to see the line up and formation on Tuesday.
Doesn't exactly fill me with joy!! Mostly poor teams we should of beaten. Why oh why did we not sign a proven striker!! It will be our downfall.Quote:

All 5th tier results so far
Home wins: 29% Away wins: 44% Draws: 27%
I expect those figures to shift much closer to normal in a matter of a month or so, but as they are, that's a pretty wild bunch of percentages with fans having only just come back into grounds.
Agreed not the end of the world! However my reaction is not purely based on this game, we have apart from Barnet been distinctly average at best.Quote:

What impact does this have on the game and our results? He's done nothing since he's been here but shout a lot.Quote:

On the plus side, the season is young and there is time to learn those lessons and put them into practice, but it needs to happen from now. Title-winning sides show overwhelming hunger and intensity.
I can accept the average comment. We’ve had some excellent passages of play and then some poor ones, such as the play leading up to the concession.Quote:

We need 2 wins, from Tuesday and Saturday.
As with last week, we have an identical record to the Steve Thompson season, that also being the last time we were unbeaten this far in.
Thommo's next game was away to MK Dons, "If (the ref) was on fire I'd dial 998".
That same year BBC presenter Ray Stubbs asked Walsall manager Richard Money "Where did you get the nickname Dickie Dosh from?"
Then Ipswich manager Jim Magilton.
"Last week I was so low I could have walked under a door with a top hat."
I'm satisfied with a point from this one. At this early stage it's just about staying in touch with top spot while gelling, working on weaknesses/individual errors and establishing a consistency of performance within the squad.
I could be wrong but I feel like both the previous 2 seasons we suffered from bad starts and looked far more disjointed and off the pace of the promotion race than we do now.
