That's as bad as it's ever been. Relegation fight is well and truly on.

I put £50 on us to make the play offs or better at the start of the season thinking that we’d have a solid defence. 😂😂😂

Really bad day at the office, and I think it clearly highlights that some players don't have the capability to do what we want of them consistently enough. Whether that can be resolved in January or end of the season, I do not know, but DA sure has his work cut out and I suspect he's going to be as angry as we are.

How bad it can get sometimes, I'm wondering if this is a leadership issue. You probably need 3/5 big players to pull people right, and I'm not sure if we have that.

In a week or so, we'll probably get a solid result, so it won't be as bad as it feels now, but the squad needs some major work.

This is shocking, even by the pitiful standard we have seen in recent months.

I can’t remember a 6-1 home defeat. Totally devastating and totally unacceptable.

Our next visitors are Notts County. What will Langstaff do against our defence?

Our defenders are not good enough. If we don’t get reinforcements in January we are in serious danger of going down.

I'd say some of their goals came after a fortunate bounce or ricochet went in their favour (and they didn't waste many of their chances), but too many also came because of needlessly-misplaced passes or downright sloppy play. If you're going to pass it in the way that Artell wants us to, you need to be absolutely on it at all times and I don't think we've got the ability to achieve this.

Notable they they were in general quicker than us around the park once again and pace certainly had a hand in some of their goals, in addition to the first, of course.

There was so much wrong with that second half performance, it will be interesting to see what Artell says about it!

First 30 mins we were actually pretty good, one absolutely shocking bit of defending from Waterfall and the game flipped on its head.

From that, everything Walsall hit went in and we gifted them every chance they had, they had 6 shots on target and scored 6 bloody goals.

Defensively we were an absolute shambles, but on most other days that game doesn’t end 6-1, it’s a freak result but it’s one that we’ve deserved.

Big window ahead.

The capitulation after their equaliser was extraordinary, I don’t think I’ve seen anything like that from a professional team before. We looked terrified in the second half and if Walsall hadn’t wasted so much time they could have got double figures
I wonder what happened or was said at half time because there was no heart, fight or passion after the break.
