We couldn't even manage the basics, simple passes went astray with alarming regularity. So many players we know are very talented at this level were way below their best. Dan Crowley was mainly anonymous, Macca couldn't get involved because he had zero service, and McGoldrick looked like he had his boots on the wrong feet. Jodi Jones was clear MOM for us, but he was only average. Walsall were nothing special, but they fully deserved the points because they played as if they cared, and we didn't.
This is what makes today so painful. Walsall went from a side that were willing to take a booking on 25 mins at 0-0 to waste time to the only side in it after half-time.

The players need a rocket up ‘em after that. They simply didn’t want it enough to do the basics right. To a man they are all far better than that.
