    I concur with the general air of trepidation about this one, but it's nice to see Kanu back.

    Bizarre squad selection again. Why's Hylton involved over Dixon and 2 left backs on the bench.... 
    Imagine Jones sees Edun as a Midfielder

    Dont think Edun has played Left-Back under him has he?
    No I think we've only seen Edun as a CM under Jones, which given he started at Fulham as one makes a bit more sense.

    1-0 down with nothing going forwards, TC bought on in the 60th to inject some pace and we actually start to attack it is
  • What is wrong with NJ, a really good game to bring Dixon for the last 20, but he has that idiot Hylton on the bench, wonders shall never cease to amaze me 3-0 Walsall

    T Campbell on the bench, Dixon not even in the squad. I don’t think we are ever going to see any desire to get bums off seats under Jones. Doesn’t like loans my arse nobody would let him near anyone with talent

    Ahadme starting is madness .

    6 changes for Walsall, so they clearly feel they can put half their reserves out and still beat us. 

    Let that sink in

    There is absolutely no pace or guile in that starting 11. You know what's coming......
    Comfortable 0-4 win...🙄

    It’s got that “trying to be too smart for yourself” smell about it today…

    Jones has once again gone with a narrow midfield and neither of the two strikers can self-create. Without Leaburn and Tyreece Campbell, it's hard to see where our creativity and goal threat comes from, save for Terry Taylor's set plays.

    Not optimistic, I'm afraid, even with Walsall resting half their first team.

  • That team selection does not look good. Anderson and Ahadme starting after recent performances? No start for TC. Leaburn and Dixon not even on the subs bench. Hylton in squad. WTF is going on!

    I am glad I have a prior engagement and won't be watching. It could be a tough afternoon.

    Sadly, they are probably correct.

    Or they've half an eye on getting promoted from League Two?

  • Ahadme always ( once ) shines in the cup 😂

    I was so optimistic when Jones joined but honestly losing faith now ! I just can’t see what he is trying to do other than bore the opponents into mistakes. It’s just embarrassing that Walsall (like Southend) feel they can rest players against us. No ambition no excitement no plan. I would honestly take Garner or Holden over this bloke atm

    Yup.

    A team in the league below us is confident enough to rest half its first team.

    Our manager picks a 21 man squad that consists of practically our entire first team squad and a starting 11 that is very nearly our best line up (Ahadme excepted) at the moment.

    How far we have fallen.

    Ahadme finally comes good and grabs a double hat trick, 0-6 victory on the cards, off to the bookies now.

    Dxon scored 4 goals against a weak non league side. League 2 defenders would be more likely to kick him to pieces.

    Generally not a good idea to make financial decisions whilst under the influence of strong hallucinogens.

    I think we will win this one. I have no idea why. 
  • Sooo... Walsall making changes mean they are prioritising the league

    No Leaburn is probably to avoid him being cup tied... just in case...

    I reckon we'll edge this

    Not a bad shout but Leaburn played against Southend

    Possible that Leaburn is just being rested, as he's played a lot of Football of late, after being out for a year - What with being subbed with cramp recently.

    Sorry if this has already been asked but was Pott's injured or was he just dropped? 
  • Any goals in this line up? Max of  1 I  guess

    I think he was a midfielder at Lincoln, we used him as LB/LWB
