Started well and were the better team first half. Pressed well with Rose and Clifton, Green won lots of the ball.
The 2nd half was as bad as you're likely to see, totally disorganised and continued to play into where they were hurting us. No 8 Hutchinson was very good but nobody got near him all day.
Have to say I'm a little worried about how Artell reacts to the game in front of him. No change of shape, no move to neutralise their threats.
Was hugely disappointed to see some hiding and some giving up from a few.
Thought Andrews was good when we were on top. Jogged his way around 2nd half hiding from the ball, would love to know how many touches he had 2nd half before he went off. Criminal defending and confusion for the other goals and lack of responsibility for runners.
It's early days yet, but that was flipping bad.

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.
Its not a freak result, we’ve had a pasting coming for a while, we should have had one at Mansfield but for Cartwright, defensively, no matter who plays, we are a shambles and pissing about with it at the back with players who cannot do that role, is not helping

What a disastrous holiday period. 3 points from 12 and 10 goals conceded.
Didn't think I could feel lower than watching Harrogate and their 50 fans outplay us on our own turf, but today I had to listen to 200 Walsall fans ole their team, whilst ours crumbled to a pathetic and spineless drubbing. And here we are again for the umpteenth EFL season of hoping there are 2 worse teams than us.
It's just a drudge most of the time watching us at BP, season after season, manager after manager.
Meanwhile, Tranmere keep winning since they appointed Adkins, with the kind of bounce we very rarely get, and BP remains like a morgue with fans desperately wanting a team to cheer, and being left wanting.
Danny Rose was our best forward, our best defender and miles out in front of the others in terms of quality, effort and will to win. If we had a few more like him, we'd be half way there.
Walsall managed to turn 34% possession into 18 shots, 7 on target and 6 in the net. Very very concerning.

Ginny we rely on you to tell us we are overreacting and we should be grateful for what we get .

Has Artell spoken yet?
Hopefully he’s resigning

We are quite literally made of toilet paper, started well, confident passing, scored a goal, could have had two, then bang. Waterfall gets outpaced, out muscled and we’ve conceded. Then the entire defence watches as Walsall pass through the box and we’re 2-1. 2nd half was quite simply gobsmacking. No fight, no organisation, no idea. We are 100% in a relegation fight, make no mistake. My worry is, we have no mental strength at all, one set back and we collapse. DA needs a CB, CM and CF. All must have mental strength as a minimum.

| I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!
From the black and white striped shirts To the fish in the sea You'll hear us singing Coz we are Grimsby.
You won't hear us crying But you'll hear us shout Coz we are the Grimsby And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

It has to be said that, for a man with a degree in forensic biology, he does an incredibly authentic impression of Selwyn Frogatt. Articulate my bottom!
