00:00Yeah, they'll need to be getting that back on track, especially with two key games at
00:05the best, against Wimbledon and Port Vale. I feel like it would be very woeful to go
00:11and get something like seven points out of these games. I don't know why. I've just got
00:15this sort of suspicion that they've kind of, yeah, two wins in 13, can't see where a win's
00:24possibly come from.
00:25I remember last season, actually, when I think they'd gone five without a win and it was
00:30off the back of losing Draper and I think Josh Gordon and Mo Foward come in. And yeah,
00:36I mean, everyone sort of felt after that five wins and six over Christmas that also, I guess
00:42their sort of fleeting playoff push was again about to fall off a cliff. And then they came
00:50in against Mansfield and I think Mansfield had beaten Harrogate 8-2. Like I say, Walsall
00:56hadn't won in five and it seemed really a nailed on Mansfield win. Obviously went on
01:02to achieve promotion from League Two and Walsall won 2-1 and went on a five match winning streak.
01:07So yeah, I feel like there's scope for that. But I also don't want to be too optimistic
01:14because there's that pessimism in me that, you know, it's a really difficult spell. And
01:18I feel like, yeah, Walsall season, although there's games after where they could pick
01:23up points, it feels like it definitely hinges on these next three games to an extent. I
01:30mean, you know, get six to seven points out of those and I feel like, you know, they're
01:38pretty much there. But, you know, three defeats or just picking up one or two points, it's
01:46going to be a real steep task then going into the rest of the game.
