Title: Walsall sign Wheatley
Post by: Alan Southstand on January 25, 2025, 01:14:34 pm
No, not the one near Doncaster - the young lad from ManU. They’ll take some stopping.

Bradford have had a really good January in my opinion.

Is that Jamille Matt injured for Walsall going off in the first half? They don’t have another striker like him.

That could be a big player missing for them! I’m not ruling out Walsall yet, though. Ideal would be a draw?

3-0 now, is this the Walsall implosion? Maybe! Wimbledon in trouble too against MK Dons, things going our way today, so far.

Bradford winning and looking good is worse for us than Walsall doing so

They’ve won four in a row since Cook got injured.

I’ve said for years he’s the one that hinders them as a team. So focussed on him scoring their goals that it affects their all round play.

That's one reason why I like two up top, less reliance on the one focal point up front

Jellis was missing and if he goes there’s every chance they will start dropping points

perhaps they didn't Separate the Wheat from the Chaff 

Carlisle who we all know are going to "do a Gillingham" and enhance my bank balance once again by staying up this season along with us have a Man United kiddie on loan  amongst their ten (and counting) January "Sales"

https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/24869281.carlisle-united-boss-joe-hugill-charlie-mcarthur/

Hugill scored five goals in 18 appearances for previous loan club Wigan Athletic this season, prior to his switch to Brunton Park.

so on paper this loan move doesn't make sense   to an outsider.  Even Akifenwa by now will know Carlisle at 120 miles is further than Wigan Pier

Before Yesterdays matches we all knew Bradford and Fleetwood were in good form.

We did a Dick Turpin extraordinaire to beat Fleetwood who then also on their travels beat red hot Salford 2-0 away :crying:  and followed it up by beating MK Dons 2-1
so the best i was hoping for was a draw for Carlisle at Fleetwood  having wrongly expected them to beat Bradford 1-0 in the previous match.

That Bradford win at re-incarnated Carlisle really turned up the volume on the Bradford alarm bells

yet on New Years Day Barrow managed a 2-2 draw at home to Bradford before losing 2-0 at home to bottom trawlers Harrogate.

Which brings us back to Walsall who now go to Fleetwood who have already hit them for six away 6-2

Meanwhile Carlisle go to Notts County on Tuesday

let's keep going for a 1-0 win for the Arsenal ROVERS against Barrow until the run ends ??

So Fleetwood return to form and get a routine 2-0 win over saddle slipped Walsall whose cullenderic defence at least kept it down to two
and unlucky born again Carlisle with 450 away fans lose 1-0 -to Jatta

 hopefully ringer Jatta and his goals will be on his way down river on transfer deadline day - not so much a plum but a plym signing ... so we will be playing against him next season once again ?

Hopefully some of you might have have taken advantage  of my post about the alarm bells - as I said I expected Carlisle to win

"That Bradford win at re-incarnated Carlisle really turned up the volume on the Bradford alarm bells"

At this moment in time Wheatley scored the first goal to put them ahead but the saddle is slipping once again as they are 2-1 down.  ( I checked that Matt bloke out today and he is another old man 35 years old) - at least he is younger than Albert Adoma -

Bradford are even money now they were a ridiculous 25/1 or so when I mentioned the alarm bells and kne to get on the Bradford Express as I kept saying Walsall continue to find their true form

Now let's move on to Swindon our opponents today.

Carlisle were drawing 0-0 at home to Swindon until the 66th minute when Carlisle had a man send off  it was 2-0 til the 83rd minute

Grimsby Town are now 3-1 up at Walsall as I type   then we had a Mutiny of Bounty proportions as Carlisle threw the towel in,

Enter Mark Hughes who is sorting them out hopefuuly a win at Harrogate Toady.

There is one thing for sure if we go behind againSt Swindon today THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER MUTINY BY US -

AS I SAID A LONG WHILE AGO - Walsall are slowly moving aside to vacate their top three position

fingers crossed Grimsby can hold on today.  as the parting of the "Walsall Red Sea " continues  :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

Will be lots of finger pointing at Walsall if they keep losing and players will be arguing with each other it's good to see from a rovers point of view

that 14/1 Walsall to make the play offs - i recommended to you all a long time ago meaning not be in the top 3 is looking very juicy at the moment  - BUT would be a sick as a parrot if they didn't make the top 7

update

Bradford are 4/5 odds on to win the title at this minute and I don't expect the to

What’s happened to Wheatley? Not injured but not been in their squad for weeks and weeks
