Looks 4 - 3 -3 again and Spokes kept his place. Definite win from this team again, Williams on the bench if needed.

Need to get after Walsall from the off today. Their confidence is low, managers been digging them out in public
If we can get one early I sense they’ll be fragile

I think it’s more to do with matching them up in midfield. They play 3-5-2 (like Barrow) so if we play 4-3-3 we are 3v3 in midfield 3v3 in attack against their 3 centre backs.

Glad Hurst has stuck with the 'shi* or bust' tactics. Another win and pressure mounts on the pack above.

Difference was the ball in.  Into the danger zone.  Didn't seem like a good header but keeper struggled. Hanson was in the right place at the right time.  That the difference.  Payne needs to be careful now.

Half time score line about right. We’re getting it forward quickly which is good but they’re putting in a real shift in mid field giving us no time on the ball.

We need 3 points here and we’ll need to get a lot better to get them.

Good start, looks we shocked ourselves by scoring so early and dont know what to do now.

Matete massive loss , such an engine and great with the physical side , Spokes, Coke and Rose markedly slower to anticipate , react and move to close their threat.

LJL wastes a great chance to maybe go 2 - 0 up by virtually air shotting the nice through ball.

Looks like we will have the wind this half which might help. Walsall dont look that good at the back so if we can sustain any kind of pressure with the wind maybe another goal for us yet.

We haven't played well but felt we had regained control only for them to get their equaliser. Don't think Hendrie's playing well (don't think he's played well all season) and disappointed we went for Rose over Williams, a bit too negative for me. However, Spokes looks full of confidence and we have had our moments despite not playing well which is a good thing.

Ultimately, this is ours to win or lose, they're not a good team. I'd like to see Lamy or Jackson on for Payne as I don't think he's offering enough and we need one of our front 3 to have a bit more skill and creativity.

Midfield looks as if it's not in control, back 4 seem to be holding up. It was a lucky goal for them, they guy crossed, without looking up and hoped he found somebody.

They look very poor in defence and we need an early goal to put them to bed. 3point is what we need today, anything less and we're treading water. We have to pick up a point against a team like this who couldn't score against Southend's 10 men.

Hurst needs to tell them what's what.

Posted by: Madeleymariner, March 27, 2021, 4:04pm; Reply: 111
We retreat too far when out of possesion, the wind has made it difficult to head clearances away but should help us with that 2nd half. Trouble we have and this happened a bit at Barrow is the f/b  w/b having loads of space to pick their pass as not being closed down quickly enough by our left sided attacker/midfield. Deffo missing Matete as our midfield has no one really confident about holding the ball in tight areas and Roses answer is to pass it 5 yards sideways to another marked player.
Spokes decent but we need more than hoofs up to the strikers this half. No lack of effort, think this could go either way and we might surprise people and make use of the wind being partly behind us for a change.

We’re off the pace here all over the pitch, can’t keep the ball and on the odd occasion we’ve had a bit of time and space the movement is shocking.

Just lack of quality showing through again, plenty of endeavour, just not enough ability.
Hanson received one decent cross in the entire game and got a header on target , every other cross into the box whether open play, corner or free kick just cr@p.
The strikers received probably one good pass into feet and LJL air shots it.
Other than that hardly worked a "good chance" in 90 mins.

Even our goal was that bit of luck we have missed all season, flying in off Hanson after the defender tried to clear it.

Again we show nothing much but some stoic defending against another sh1te team. This is partly the fact our players are average at best (some not that good) (Matete aside)but also Jursts inability to set up a team to break through a team happy to take a point, The worst part is we were the home team and created no pressure at all in the last 10 mins and continued to make it easy for Walsall players to fall down and get freekicks. Most of our players lack any game intelligence.
Anyone really believe in their head still that we wont be relegated.  :-/

Not enough individual or team quality to win - or not to concede.

Eg, the Shop literally missing a good chance (by not connecting with the ball).  

However, gained a point on 2 main rivals.  Southend a blip.  We probably need to finish above them anyway.  At least we can challenge them on GDF, if not any other team.

Its alright saying we should never have gone 4-3-3 but he changes it and we don't win , it will be why change a winning formation? Between a rock and a hard place. I do think he should have made changes earlier but he didnt.

Ultimately we lack quality throughout the team and are losing what little flair we have to injury.

It's 6 unbeaten and on to Salford where we go again, manage to extend the unbeaten run there and it will be fairly impressive form from where we were in January / Feb.

It looks like Barrow are starting to falter. They are now looking in reach and vulnerable. So, that's a plus.

I watched Forest Green v Bolton, two teams near the top. The only bit of quality in the whole game was Bolton's goal. Forest Green were awful, kept passing it sideways and backwards. Very boring to watch.

The whole of L2 looks very average. We really should have a team that is capable of at least mid-table and it is depressing to see us where we are now.

Sadly, remaining undefeated wont necessarily keep us up, we need to win games.

9 more points would only get 3 more than Barrow and 2 more than Colchester if they lost all their remaining games.

You don’t have to change much if your ‘best’ most effective players are on from the start. Williams came on beat 3 of theirs in the box, the only time that happened in the whole game. Our ‘free’ kicks, crosses were woeful, looked tired. Our ‘front’ 3 predictable, no shape, we need energy, but more importantly ball at the feet to make things happen

Slightly unfair on Rose, he was far more effective than Coke who was truly woeful today. We really need some flair in midfield whether that’s Williams, Bennett or Scannell. All three have done it at a higher level and surely there’s some professional pride in one or other of them.
