The Saddlers v THE FIGHTING BACK MAGGIES

Posted by M64 on April 11, 2024, 4:28 pm

Will our resolve, shown against MK Dons and Harrogate, last for a third match? The Saddlers are still chasing a play-off place so a win for our blowing hot and cold players seems unlikely.

Their attack and defence seem as good or as bad as each other, depending on how you look at it, so a draw could well be on the cards.

Over a 1,000 Notts fans are going, I know it isn't far from Nottingham but that is still a good turn out with nothing to play for.

The letter from the brothers was interesting , what did people think of it? They do seem to be blaming a great deal on us being unlucky. I thought they were a couple where stats played a big role so why the luck comment.

I have noticed when I speak to them on the train, all be it not at great length as they always have their heads into their laptops, they will say after a defeat, but they (the opponents) didn't offer anything, I often have to say, they didn't have to, they were winning. They will sometimes say, did you see how close Macca was to scoring? But...he didn't, I'm thinking.
Clearly we have Maynard until next season at least, but I am not convinced this man portrays himself as a winner, just as Burchnall didn't.

2-2 for me.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRRR

Quite interesting how we have come alive lately.
It is a little bit like waking up after a hibernation.
I hope we are back on track again.
If so, we will be able to take this game by a 2-0 scoreline.

Well Maggie as you say about stats but the reality is they show 70% possession but we don’t do owt with it. Yes we’re a tad unlucky but it doesn’t tell half the story does it.

Today once again who knows, maybe a win, loss or draw. I have picked a couple of losses and they weren’t so do I do it again so they don’t?

I think they will but will go with a 2-2 draw.

Hoping that I follow is still allowed for overseas folks next season. If Sky don’t show all games what is the point unless you travel to every game regardless. Think it will harm the gates but will the money make up for it. They have destroyed football in my eyes.

Just realised Maggie put that score so will go 1-1

One of those games where the question will be will Notts put an effort in? At the moment we still don't know which way Notts will play.

Expect 60 - 70% possession but will it go anywhere?

Last week, good result, a few chances created, scored and missed some. The key difference being no complete stupidity from the defence to gift goals away. Kind of got a win courtesy of the opposition missing a few sitters.

With reference to the brothers & stats - stats are open to interpretation eg: County have 65% of the ball but usually have fewer shots + goals etc

I'm expecting a win as quite a few players must be hoping for new contracts ( i hope the owners don't fall for it).

Maggies to win 3-1
