STFC vs Walsall Matchday Thread

[Batch]

Thanks! Amankwha did OK in his absence.

Forgot to say Though JPM was superb in the first half and hard working but ineffective in second.

Walsall were bollocks, had one game plan and reminded me of ourselves in recent games. Only reason they got back into the game is because we sat too deep and fell asleep.

I thought the loanees were magnificent, I hope whoever was moaning at Wilson for bringing these lads are eating their words.

Our central midfield were passengers for most of the game, which is why it was good the front duo were back on the same page and the wide men had a good game. Whilst Greer impressed me, so did Cox - he looked back to his 'usual' self and not just because of the goal. Just looked more eager. He was literally begging Sturrock (when he came on) to play him through every time.

[Luci]

Paynter I thought looked far more up for it too actually (forgot to mention him earlier) Perhaps with Razak now on the bench, bit more competition will do him good.

Disagree about the midfield, first hour they played well, they did start to become a little more ineffective as Nalis began to tire though.

I think Cox's goal was better than anything Le Tissier ever scored, and I'm a huge fan of Matthew so if you are reading this then you should know that isn't the kind of compliment that I throw around lightly.

It is a shame that Aidy Williams has told the players not to go on the internet because I'm sure that Simon would like to see what I have to say about his work tonight

[Scot Munroe]

Luci i was also impressed with Paynter, took his goal well and held up well but he also pussyed out of a challenge before he got subed off

[Rich Pullen]

I imagine if had we had maintained the 3 goal lead to 80 minutes Razak would have come on.

[DiV]

I wasnt over the moon when I heard the midfield pairing, they did ok but I think a major part was played by the fact Walsall had no midfield and just lumped.

Our middle two didnt alright, but the minute Walsall got the ball down in midfield and passed it we were chasing shadows.

If anything it was all a bit 'Tranmere'

My best moments of the evening ..............

1. STFC Dave's random mate in the chippy

2. The Polish bird sat next to me in the first half

My worst moments of the evening

1. Escorting JFW to get some frigging milk at half time

2. The Polish bird's boyfriend who decided to sit next to me in the second half (fuck knows why  )

Apart from the result, very similar in feedback indeed.

[janaage]

The middle two were no worse, actually were better, than the previous two or three central midfielders have been recently, those three being Easton, Peacock and Frank Queudrue, I mean Michael Pook.

How random was he?

How random was he?

as random as a four metre skip of big fucking random things

I am happy with the 3 points but Walsall were absolute shite and their defence resembled ours. A good shank from Amankwanah for the 1st. Superb goal by Cox for the 2nd but I thuoght he was off. the 3rd goal was a fuck up by their keeper - Paynter shot right at him.
The 2 we gave away again were Keystone Kops stuff.
Greer looked pretty good apart from one salmon like leap under the ball. Vincent was very good apart from one skinning in the 1st half. One of those 2 for MOM. Robson Kanu looks very good.
I wasn't quite sure what Wilson was doing with the subs. Timlin was absolute dog shit. At the moment he's a complete liability. Not sure why Macca came on - and what a bottle job at the end on their keeper.
Overall its 3 points won but against a decent side we'd have got dicked and all our frailties were still there.

That's pretty random!
