My initial thoughts were, and still are, that this is a sensible deal. Comparsons can be drawn between Nouble and Balotelli; unquestionably both have genuine talent and potential (albeit different scales), but there are big questions regarding their commitment, temprement and laziness. For...

Fair point, I remember when Hitler, Stalin, Mugabe, Pot and Mao were on the forums, their respective post counts were in the millions.

Twenty four hours on from the apparently provocative press release and we still have no answers, be it short term (plans for the actual event) or long term (objectives, next steps). If this is an illustration of the professionalism of the consortiums interested (and presumably involved in...

Granted there are a lot of questions but I would argue all are relevant, especially those around the actual event itself; timings, cards/signs etc. I am not dismissing the idea as a whole, the situation just seems odd. The protest group rapidly emerged from nowhere, no background, no real...

The idea of a protest voicing our discontent with SISU is a valid one, unfortunately it is somewhat spoilt by the implementation. While Nick may have excessively made the point re timings, it is a fair one. Surely a pivotal factor in an organised protest is ensuring participants know when to...

Two big men up front and we are incapable of crossing the ball. Barton and Madine are the better sky blue performers thus far.

As I outlined without the ratings thread, I am not sure Noble deserves the hero worshipping he provokes from some supporters. He scored a fantastic goal last night, but he needed it, if he had not I imagine he would have received the same post match criticism from SP. He was incredibly lazy...

Allsop - 7 - The most confident, and by no coincidence, the best I have seen him play. He caught crosses, was in constant (at least more than previous games...) communication with his defenders and made a great save in the second half following a header from point blank range. Phillips - 6.5 -...

Average night. I thought it was a very poor show for all the players to leave as soon as the entertainment (an average to poor comedian) finished. If I had paid £50 I would be very dissapointed that as soon as it came to autograph/photo time, arguablely the main event that fans go for, all...

He will never come to us. The set up and the players are not for him. However if that changes and some of the current crop leave that may change things slightly. In general though if he leaves Walsall it will be to go to a team in the league above or a big team in our league that's...

Murphy - 8 - still unfairly critised by some. At times today he didn't release the ball 'quickly enough' as there was no realistic options to release it too, plus we were winning so no need for high tempo from the keeper. Distribution today not as accuraed as usual. Christie - 7 - offers a...

Cheers, although I would have been more thankful if you told me we had a striker upfront who provided any form of movement/passing option!

Any team news?

And (are expected to) pay an enormous rent figure?

There have been a few that have alluded to investors buying the club is SISU left, but that is a fairly big assumption to make. How many times have we been close (or at least thought we were) to administration or something similar, a time when a potential investor may start sniffing and we have...

Coundon I don't think you can be that general - each case would be different. For example how many other clubs do you know that own 0% of the stadium they pay them home games in.

It is clear from reading through the various threads that opinions on SISU are generally polar opposite, with the exception of a few trying to offer a balanced viewpoint. It appears one question has not been properly addressed yet; I ask this completely objectively, and as a genuine...

Does sound like a pretty familiar pre season with the tiny bit of hope emerging, usually it lasts till at least a few games into the season though. I guess the thorn debate has carried over from last season then. Rumors of any more transfers in or out? All the hope and rumors of SISU...

Results wise sounds pretty terrible then. Signings wise not as bad as I feared; firstly because we have actually signed people and secondly one or two of those players are solid enough for league one. Players we have lost is expected yet still depressing to read. Our centre back pairing...
