Coming soon, my brand new podcast! We have some brilliant guests lined up from all tiers of English football, we’re going to seeing what it’s really like to be a football manager and I’m very excited to get started! Give the accolades by a follow, please!!

Suppose it was nice to be good for about 5 months out of about 8 years.

Jamille Matt scored 65 goals in 207 games for FGR and Newport from 2018-23. Basically 1 in 3. Equates to 15 goals a season.

Thoughts after today: 1) Best defence in league after 7 games. Keep that up = promotion. Only need to be organised in this league to be successful. 2) Still not convinced we have enough going forward but if point 1) remains doesnt matter. 3) be up already if Flint joined in Jan

Bit of analytical thought... #Saddlers To me, big difference between teams today was distribution from back/centre mid. Col U played controlled balls down channels to give forwards optimum chance to gain possession in promising areas. We played aimless hoofs that got nowhere as,

Fantastic read 👏. Those at helm of Walsall FC would do well to heed it. Daniel Kanu will be recalled in January. We all know this already. Charlton are struggling. Thing is... I'd argue he's even more pivotal than Lowe was - in a weaker squad he's been THE difference maker

That was depressingly similar to second half of last season. Failing to score when on top. Gifting opposition goals with individual howlers. Looking at 6s & 7s at back after falling behind. Not enough goal threat. We've been poor for weeks but had got away with it mostly.

Thoughts from today. 1) Pls stop subbing Kanu off... ever. Our most likely avenue of goals. Should play 90 every week. 2) Having bought Pattison - clearly tidy player - give him the ball pls? 3) 36yo Matt being miles better than Pressley is damning 4) Playoffs at best I'm afraid.

Wasn't at the game today as I was working elsewhere... but was it as bad as the stats and reports suggest?

Very rare I will give up on a player... but I've given him 6 months and honestly, I have no idea what Pressley offers. Think he's had an half decent game or two but mostly been anonymous/ineffective/passenger for 90% of his minutes.

February. The 12 month anniversary of when we began to find as many different ways to lose games as possible. Seems as if we are determined to add a new one to the list tonight.

Happy to qualify my earlier moans by admitting that's a decent point in the circumstances tonight. Just sadly feel completely dishevelled and disheartened by this season turning into a repeat of last... and hard not to lose heart. And to go from top to 9th.... rough pill.

I get paid to attend Walsall games to write reports. A privilege, many would say. Used to be... I dont have to pay to get in unless I choose to attend as a fan. I've chosen to miss 5 of last 6 games incl tonight. Turned down money. Am I a fickle fan? Or right to have had enough?
