Bottom half of league one and top half of league two are pretty close, very little in itswordfish said:

No one is saying we've turned a corner, but for goodness sake lighten up folks, stop looking for the negatives, live for the day and enjoy the victories when they come, because these days they don't come along that often, especially convincing ones.

Walsall are second in League Two. Today's win was a very good result. Now to carry that performance into the league.16

What about us with squad players playing.Gisappointed said:To put things in perspective, they rested six players and had two subbed in 1st half including probably their best player. Good to see our CMs kept Jamal Matt quiet, he is dangerous.2 -
Yes and our team was our reserves.swordfish said:

The amount of times, even in the Premier League, we've gone up against lower league opposition and lost in the cup is ridiculous. We've actually won one this time, very comfortably, with a striker in need of confidence getting and brace and MOTM and there's still people whining about it not being good enough. I can't fathom being that miserableswordfish said:No one is saying we've turned a corner, but for goodness sake lighten up folks, stop looking for the negatives, live for the day and enjoy the victories when they come, because these days they don't come along that often, especially convincing ones.

What's with some of the negativity on here? We've won, away from home 4-0, against a side doing well in their league, just one below ours, who've not lost since 1st October and beaten 5 other good L1 teams! Yet all we hear is they rested 6 players, they actually played 1st teamers who didn't play on Tuesday and were rested for today!
The negativity on this place is getting worse...we won, were building on Tuesdays win, just enjoy and see if we can make it 3 on the spin on Tuesday night!44 -

I know an intelligent Charlton fan who went to the game and he said that Dixon is not ready for the first team.Crusty54 said:
Dxon scored 4 goals against a weak non league side. League 2 defenders would be more likely to kick him to pieces.MarcusH26 said:Bizarre squad selection again. Why's Hylton involved over Dixon and 2 left backs on the bench....5 - Sponsored links:

Seriously wtf have you been?2 -
I honestly think some on here would rather we'd played Dixon, and lost, than winning comfortably 4-0.17

Fuck this. Months of abject failure and were rolling over because we beat L2 reserves team. Crack on lads. Enjoy your victory.5

Spot on Red, yes we should beat both Burton and Walsall but how many times in the past have we failed to do so ? Two clean sheets, not really stretched in either game but we did the job, get Jones and Ramsay back and continue the winning habit, if we can win games rather than draw then we might go into the second half of the season with some confidence. Biggest plus today ? Ahadme and TC scoring, they both needed it and that should give them a big lift.Redmidland said:What's with some of the negativity on here?

Genuinely didn't know Berry was playing until he was subbed. He was that anonymous.
It's still not pretty, but it's 2 wins and 2 clean sheets in a row so hopefully something to build on.
Expected more from Walsall if I am honest.1 -
We've been gifted many occasions on which to justifiably voice our concerns in recent times. Tonight isn't one of them though. Hardly our fault if Walsall rested players, so why be critical of us.Wheresmeticket said:Fuck this. Months of abject failure and were rolling over because we beat L2 reserves team. Crack on lads.

Btw, how is not being negative 'rolling over'.7 -
Just for a sense of balance with Walsall resting six, we didn't have Leaburn, Chuks, Docherty, Jones, Ramsay, Watson, Mitchell or Mannion.31

Just rewatched our goals, for someone who does nothing Anderson wasn’t half involved for 2/4 of them. Smart pass to REG to stretch play for the first and challenges the keeper forcing the weak punch and then blocks off a defender for the third. I know there are things he can improve on but that often means people look over things he does well22

Whist I might not agree about not starting Leaburn I do agree that you should keep a winning side.ButtleJR said:Might not be popular on here but I'd keep leaburn dropped for Tuesday. Ruins our attacks by taking 10 touches before even picking his head up and rarely passes. Should play that starting team Tuesday imo. COYR
He's also played a fair few minutes after a very lengthy lay off so starting on the bench wouldn't do any harm6 - Sponsored links:

We managed that game very well, taking the couple of first half chances we had and riding out the 20 or so minutes of pressure that Walsall managed to exert at the start of the second half. Tyreece Small and Thierry Small made all the difference when they came on, with their pace and their ability to go past defenders. Even allowing for the fact that Walsall were tiring and a bit demoralised, I thought that the passing football which we played during the last 15-20 minutes was as good as anything I've seen us produce this season.
We were pretty solid at the back, Coventry and Taylor were impressive in central midfield and it was great to see some clinical finishing from our strikers.
Looking forward now to Monday's 3rd Round draw. I know the competition's been massively devalued over the last 35-40 years but, traditionally, the 3rd Round was always one of the season highlights.
Let's hope that we can carry this form into Tuesday night's game against Rob Elliot's boys at The Valley. It will be a very different sort of game, with Crawley probably keeping a lot of men behind the ball. The onus will be firmly on us to take the game to them, so I hope that Jones starts Tyreece Campbell to give us some width and pace.3 -
Who knew?Elthamaddick said:An obvious statement but how much better are we with Taylor playing next to Coventry (who again has been excellent)
Ah yes everyone except the Welsh windbag.1 -

4-0 is not to be sniffed at any level. I’m hoping this result gives us confidence more than anything else, but if we don’t follow it up with beating Crawley is a piss in a wind. Don’t take the highs too high and the lows too low.
As fans I’ll have a arsenal or spurs away draw please.8 -
