Walsall V TLOD

[glosterred]

Todays team and it’s a very different team with only 5 on the bench

COYR

[EasyforDennis]

Why only 5 subs on the bench?

[BigKeif]

Why only 5 subs on the bench?

DS will be using it as an excuse with injuries for such a shocking season under him to try buy himself some time.

[pib]

Surely that has to be the weakest squad (starting XI plus subs) we’ve named since we got back into the Football League?

[Filo]

Have some already learned of their fate and refusing to play and risk injury?

[DonnyOsmond]

Have some already learned of their fate and refusing to play and risk injury?

Close and Molyneux still contracted. Only Williams out of contract who's missing.

[Dutch Uncle]

Have some already learned of their fate and refusing to play and risk injury?

Brown, Williams and Ravenhill possibly I can understand, but Close and Moly are on longer contracts, and Nelson would not be after a contract with us. Illness in the camp? 

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Illness. Or hungover. One of the 2!

[roversdude]

Hopefully refused to play in the process (sic)

[The Beast]

Illness. Or hungover. One of the 2!

I've heard similar, doesn't really bode well!

Same old getting the run around again

20 | Good driving run from Kyle Hurst after robbing the ball in the middle of the park. He tried to squeeze a shot in at the near post but sent it wide 

0-0

COYR

[ScillyRover]

Nothing changes. This is so poor.

[Thorney]

Do we even practice any attacking in training.

[ScillyRover]

Miller isolated up front. And even so, no way is he up to the job.

[silent majority]

Does anybody know who the ex-rovers player is on commentary for Walsall?

[Thorney]

Miller isolated up front. And even so, no way is he up to the job.

Don't understand why he is up front and goodman on the bench.

[BigKeif]

Does anybody know who the ex-rovers player is on commentary for Walsall?

Is it Andy Williams?

43 | Isaac Hutchinson twists, turns and gets a powerful drive away, sending the ball wide from 20 yards. 

0-0

COYR

[bpoolrover]

Need to bring goodman on for Miller

[jmt23]

Biggins has been very poor, looks like he’s going to give it away at any moment

[glosterred]

45 | Big chance for Walsall. Liam Gordon stabs in a cross from the byline, Tom Knowles finds space in the middle and heads down and on goal but it's a simple take for Louis Jones 

3 mins of added time
