    Hoping for a big win, up the chickens!!

    A good start might rattle Walsall, few goals in first 20 mins. lot of their results are low scoring draws or low scoring wins

    Why worry about them, play our own game at home and see where it takes us.

    4 draws from their 6 games so far this season we should be capable of beating these, the right starting 11 playing to a formation their happy with I'm going for a home win.

    If we are
    If we are 3-0 up at half time, I'll start to worry.

    I said on Saturday at 2 - 0 we needed a third to make sure, as Kenny said the all round performance against Mansfield was good but it would have been better to have kept a clean sheet but I'll take a 3 - 1 result tonight.

    This game wont be easy, they are obviously difficult to beat. We need to be at it right from the start and hopefully get an early goal.
    Tonight and Saturday , we really need to get 6 points , to push us right into the mix.
    No tinkering, bar any injuries.
    When was the last time we won 3 league games on the bounce.

    Looking forward to the game tonight.

    Will be interesting to see how we play against, what seems to be a solid outfit.

    Looks on paper to be a tight game but I have still gone for a home win. Win tonight and we will be right back in the mix.

    Tonight's programme has just arrived. I've been impressed with the service so far and, to date, every copy has arrived before kick off. Also, tonight's programme is fully up to date, with details and columns reviewing Saturday's win at Mansfield Town.

    We find it difficult to score at home, best we can hope for is 1-1 draw, hope I’m wrong and we start scoring at home again.

    Tend to agree with you. They seem to be draw specialists, are on a long unbeaten run. We have injury, suspension, new players and seem to alter the system often. I fear a disjointed performance and a draw. Like you I hope that I am wrong and that we kick on from Saturday. I guess they may set up to nullify us and use a counter attacking approach.

    Well, a 4-4 should make for a good match then ;)

    If we go with the same starting 11 I’ll back to us win. If he tinkers with it then we’ll get beat. No need to change it.

    Fully agree, however, we all know he WILL change it.

    We just need to take the early chance that Novak has missed at the Bradford end in all three games then we should be OK.
