Walsall v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[Nemo]

It doesn't help that we have zero ability in midfield, Williams and McEachran are basically like Drissa Traore and Neale McDermott

Liar.

Liar.

I'm not sure what Kadji IS good at... Appreciate he is 19 but he's looked miles off it. I suspect he is filed under 'someone we were capable of getting through the door on deadline day' and not much more than that.

I agree with that

Is Minturn going to become a regular? Really hope so. Rate this kid.

Swindon have sold 966 tickets as of lunchtime for this.

I know we have pretty much given up any hope of the play offs it seems but this time last year Bristol Rovers had 1 more point than we have now after 34 games and still finished 3rd with just 1 more goal scored and they had conceded 4 more than we have so far.

We are on 49 points with 36 more points available and we have played 3 of the top 4 teams twice already with just Stevenage at home left.

So theoretically we could still end on 85 points which last season would have taken the title, albeit an almost impossible task.

Here is a list of points to get 7th place over the last 10 seasons.

2012/13 68
2013/14 63
2014/15 69
2015/16 70
2016/17 70
2017/18 73
2018/19 71
2019/20 72
2020/21 72
2021/22 77

The average over 10 seasons for 7th place is 70 point, which is 7 more wins from the remaining 12 games, which is actually possible however very very difficult.

Of the teams above us currently we still have to play Stevenage, Stockport, Mansfield, Bradford and Barrow all at home who are currently above us. All our remaining away games are against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.

Anyway thats enough of my positivity.

[THE FLASH]

Thats some good work JJ.

I cant see it.

Im sure the Town will put a mini run together and smash Stevenage 4 zip at home to lull us in ...then snatch it away.

No I cant either but as they say it aint over till its over.

Season over in my opinion, now just a case of getting a run of results/performances to take into next season and getting players tied down who perform now till May. Walsall away always a good one, hopefully 3 points.

1000 fans, in arguably a dead rubber, on a Tuesday night away from home, is incredible.

They've not won a single game in league since New Years day.

[tans]

Odds on tomorrow then!

[Berniman]

Don't forget that Scunthorpe gifted them 3 points and a huge GD advantage though..

That was all above board and in no way suspicious
