Yes, season ticket holder and attend most away games. Been to County many times since the 80s. I think the Newbie badge is related to my number of posts. Only usually around when we play each other!

Morning pies. Walsall fan here. Good game last night, one of the better sides we've seen, and McGoldrick still pulling the strings. Sounds like you've got a few injuries, and just need to hold out until they're back, or until January. A lot of you seem to be excusing your amount of possession for dominance and saying that we're not a great side. Yet, here we are with a chance to go top at Vale on Saturday, with a game in hand, by far superior goal difference in the league, have put 3 and 4 goals past a number of teams, don't concede many, and have injured players to return. In most games this season we've let sides have 60-70% possession. But generally it's in areas where there is no threat. We'll happily sit, keep an excellent shape, press, and let teams have the ball, but restrict them to few chances. Then we switch, counter and are clinical in our finishing. But, we can play when we want/need to. We just do what we need to against each side to get the 3 points. We're also unbeaten against a number of L1 sides (and Leicester). The cup game against Charlton was out first loss against a L1 side this season. So yes, we're not always great, but it's effective. We may not be what Wrexham or Stockport were last season, but then we haven't splashed the cash they have, and we beat both of them last season, and blew our chance of play offs. We just need to keep our loanees in January to keep going, but long way to go, and it's a very tight and competitive league this year. Great following from you lot last night btw. I hope you stay in the top 6 and keep the likes of MK Mongs, Salford and the like out. Proper club
