Carry on from last night and we will steamroll these. They’re struggling for anything since Lowe left and I thought they were bang average down the vale earlier in the season although the weather had a big part to play. 

If all are fit, I’d go with the same 11. Same intensity and then change it around the hour mark if tiring. I don’t see them living with the likes of Tolaj. We always struggle at Walsall but I am confident we will win. 
 

Id certainly take a point but given momentum we have to be favourites for this  

1-3. Tolaj, Croasdale and a late Curtis belter in front of their fans.

What chance of a few extra tickets? 🙏

Although they are way off form they are clearly still fighting for each other.

2 last gasp goals v Wimbledon and Doncaster in their last 2 games shows that.

I'd take a point for sure against this horrendous bogey. 

Walsall 72 points best team in the league v Port Vale 70 3rd best team in the league .

Crikey that sets it up nicely .

The lucky 1997 who have there tickets hopefully be cheering  like  crazy, like  brilliant away following at Crewe and the superb home support of last night .

It's going be a long 3 days till the game .

Team well it picks itself after last night Shorrock stays in his best performance of the season .

Hopefully John back on the bench and Byers too .

Hopefully we play like we did last night first half if we do who's to say we cannot win we can 

Walsall though even though they have been results wise struggling they are top on merit .

It's down to us to deliver 

The players must be booming with confidence

Take it down the m6 and bring us back a positive result

Normally I'd be happy with a point away at the league leaders especially after the week we've had but it's Walsall and I want to bury them.

Same, don’t get me wrong a draw is very acceptable however I want their heads on the proverbial spike. Momentum is with us so let’s keep it going.

We really do deserve something from this game, they were dead jammy out our place, the game should not have been played ! We want justice! Come on you whites !

Counting down the minutes to this game 😆 god nothing would make me happier than stuffing these to go top

I think Moore would argue his rotation policy has left us with a relatively fit squad at the business end of the season.  We are the only team in the top 6 in the top 6 of the form table.  I suspect that rotation is over for the season and he'll pick his best 11 from now on in. Walters in particular has complicated his job as he certainly wasn't in the best 11 at the season start. They also hoped Headley may be fit for the season end but John and Clark are both playing well. 

Jessie Debrah may have the odd mistake in him but people underestimate the importance of his pace in allowing us to play a high line. There are very few centrehalves of his size and speed. He's developed a long way since we signed him.

Roy Sproson used to tell players to ignore the crowd as most knew very little about football and were idiots.  Ben Garrity could perhaps do with listening to this advice. He doesn't need to get involved with spats with fans, just focus on his football. Most fans appreciate him for the player he is.

11/4 with Betfred looks a bit on the big side for anyone fancying a flutter on the Champions Elect.

I took the same odds (lower stake) Brian and would love it if Bet365 paid for my 25/26 season ticket - now just hoping a result a Wimbledon (or before) confirms us as champions so as still within the early bird window.😉

Any fans who can’t get tickets watching the game in Burslem/Newcastle etc?

 

Be nice to watch with fellow fans with an atmosphere.

Stoke Station might be interesting on Saturday morning with a sold out away support at Walsall and Preston.
