Nice to get praise from the opposition and more importantly they were magnanimous in defeat. More refreshingly no "we should beat the likes of" posts.  

"A word for Grimsby today. Fair play to them and there 700 or so fans… A long journey surprised they brought so many.
Having been to all games home and away so far I thought they were the best team we have played … Pretty solid in defence and carry a threat up front with Hanson and clinical in front of goal.will be there or there abouts I thinks".

I suggest you listen in at 1:10 So with only one win against Northampton on the opening day, how are you evaluating the start of the season, it's worrying, if we can't beat the likes of Grimsby and we are losing 3-1 to Grimsby is it non league next for us.  

Well it could be saddle bags if you lose to the Scunts


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

The likes of Grimsby?! You support Walsall pal. You've spent 10 seasons above L1 since WW2. I know we've had a big slump recently but come on.

I agree with you, but this is not how it looks to the football world, and the vast majority of fans at other clubs,

We have spent the bulk of the last 20 years in non league or division 4 and however much it hurts about the "likes of Grimsby" to them it is the truth.

I hope we have a better few years soon, to ram such talk down their throats.

We did the same when we were relegated to non league.

As opposition match threads go I thought it was fairly balanced.

We did but the difference between us and Braintree, for example, is really quite stark whereas Walsall are arguably a smaller club than us and have certainly historically done nowhere near as well as we have.

History doesn't really matter when it wasn't recent history. That's the problem some of our fans have and why many of our fans have a sense of self importance over other fans. What have we done in the last 20 years? It was like when Liverpool were a nothing team for years while Manchester United  and Chelsea were wining everything and they kept talking about how great they were in the 70's and 80's. We do that all the time and it gets boring.

We've been shocking for 20 years remember, it's a long bloody time and outsider's perspectives about us will have changed as a result. I know the old guy said that but the youngster wouldn't have even been born last time we were any cop let alone remember it!
