❔Score, scorers and attendance predictions v Walsall [H] 09.12.2023 [EFL L2]

[OchPie]

Fun factoid - if you lob the ball big and high forward occasionally it will make a difference to crowd noise and might - just might - make the enemy pause and think a bit.

Stone did plenty of that in the second half, mostly giving them a throw-in as a result. It didn't seem much like the crowd was impressed.

I think our level without Palmer (and without replacing him with someone who can start our transitions effectively) is 5-10 places lower than with him. It look like Bostock was the intended replacement in this match but it wasn't nearly as effective - I thought it looked better in the closing part of the first half. Then he was off and things really fell apart.

Oops! I forgot to say accurately.
