Every time we lose, we had chances that didn't fall to players, but if they had and we'd scored them, we'd have won.
Dabermoo told us that Mr Purkiss had never reffed us to a win and despite our 71% possession, Walsall only officially conceded 8 fouls in trying to regain the ball, yet did so without a single caution as against our and 5 yellow cards for 13 fouls. Hoden expressed surprise at his leniency with Walsall and the Faal challenge on Lo Tutala such an instance.
We lost to a better team today. Simple as that. They were better than us and we played into their hands. They are a counter attacking team that sit in, let you pass it around in the areas they want you to and then spring. They are very good without the ball.

Teams can let us have the ball knowing that we haven’t got the individual creativity to break a tight defence down.When looking at League 2 players “chances created” you don’t see a Rovers player until 29th (Molyneux) and then 70th (Ironside) on that list.We haven’t won a league game after going behind all season.
From what I had read before the game, Walsall played a pressing game, they definitely did their homework on us and just let us pass around where we couldn’t hurt them. Our stats probably looked brilliant. They are on a tremendous run but personally I thought we were poor yesterday and missed Moly. Surprised Nixon wasn’t in the squad as Maxwell looked to be blowing out his arse yesterday

We didn’t prove much of an opposition when you allow their chances to be converted and we barely created enough ! Back to the drawing board

Back to the drawing board We created the same as they did they were just more clinical. Can’t remember Timmy making a save

If they create 3 chances the whole game and score all 3 then. Then that means we either defended well throughout the game or they were very clinical.
Not sure it’s meaningless no. If I side creates nothing over 90 mins then in no way can they be described as threatening. I never mentioned a shot as I’ve stated many times on here that shots on target is a meaningless statistic. A chance created to me means getting balls flying across the 6 yard box, getting into 2v2 situations, getting players in behind. We’ve been good at that over the last few weeks, you can argue we’ve not played anyone any good, but we’ve played these shite teams earlier in the season and created nothing.We’ve definitely improved
