WALSALL ON SATURDAY..............IS BERNIE SADDLER RIGHT?

Or will we get another win?

I'm confident we'll get something from the game, even if it's a draw, with two in-form teams it should be a decent match. I don't think Bernie Saddler was right, even if he did go on to express himself in the wrong way. We won't get hammered but a win will be hard.

Have to agree expecting a tough game but think a draw is on the cards. When we had Hartle, Wycomb and Walsall thought we had to get 7 points to be on course, 6 so far so point today will be okay.

Connolly is back in the side, in a 4-4-2 formation. No Papa Waigo, he's not travelled due to a back problem.

If we slip up today and Brighton win, we'll end up back in the relegation zone, so getting at least a point is vital. It wouldn't be a disaster but it would be a little demoralising.

Just getting underway.

Walsall have a corner already. Great start Saints - not.

1-0 Connolly wooo!!!

0-1 - Connolly scores!

2-0! HAMMOND

Hammond scores but it sounded as though Connolly did all the hard work

According to the BBC Sport text it was Lambert. Oh well, who cares?

Edit: they've corrected it now, definitely Hammond's goal.

We are bombarding them. HT now. One of their lot should have just been sent off for kicking Harding. Lineswoman apparently was right next to it.

Half time. What an excellent half. More of the same please Saints, in the second half.

The linesman failed to spot a Walsall player kicking out at one of our players. He should have gone but she (not a mistype, it's a woman lino - cue sexist drivel on Saintsweb) didn't spot it.

Keep it going saints no getting complacent like last week, lets try for another clean sheet.

She didn't have any balls.

Sorry

Sorry

indeed.

It's just occurred to me that maybe, given this age of political correctness, I should have typed 'linesperson'. Although, to be really accurate, I should have put 'referee's assistant'.

Second half underway. Corner to Walsall straight away, just like in first half.

Save by Bialkowski - his first save I think this game.

RICKY

3-0!!! Lambert

byfield scores for them

F*** 3-1. Byfield for them.

Please Saints don't f*** this up...

Antonio coming on for Connolly.

Wotton on for Schneiderlin.

Full time 1-3 to Saints and it's up the table we go, up to 15th and almost mid-table. Bernie Saddler...?
