Weird that despite being the home team we still haven’t worked out that the wind swirls in the stadium so it’s north to south down the east stand. But south to north by the west stand.

Budget isn’t the only thing driving final performance in the league but it is by far the biggest single factor. We seem to be performing broadly in line with our relative budget, suggesting that our recruitment and coaching are broadly in line with the average for the league

RP they give clubs an anonymised table and the clubs work out who is where.

If if it'll we'd won today, just a point behind Warsaw. Just happen to be in bad fettle.

Seems like the Milton Keynes cup game is the one that has derailed our season. The Arsenal cup game and the Chelsea cup games did it in the previous seasons. The performances have dropped off since we humiliated the franchise

Hippo, Johnson and Harbottle all at fault for their goal

I think the league just tell each club their own position in the budget table. Nobody knows anybody else's actual budget.

I think the point about budget is we shouldn't by default always turn to it as an excuse; other teams above us in the league will have a similar or worse budget. So it must be about something else.

And the player who threw himself on the floor and pretended to be injured when he was called for fouling Ogundere should have got a card for that as well.

Lurker - on the financial results article on the OS yesterday it is said 12th. I think what happens is each club gets the budgets of all teams in the division giving to them by the EFL and that is how they know.

Their keeper should have been sent off for a second yellow for time wasting at the point the ref finally showed him his first. The only discussion about the foul on Bugiel was whether it was inside or outside the area. And I don’t think a single throw was taken within 10m of where it went out.

And I thought we were very flat today. Johnson is definitely being targeted. And Tilley was heavily marked but also under supported by ……. Whereas Josh on the right had lots of support from Harbottle and did well from it.

Silk I thought the club said we’re 14th in the budget table. And all these tables are bullshit as they’re based on guesses as to who was who on the previous season’s budgets. They assume no one has increased or decreased. And I seem to recall we’ve said a few times in the past that we turned out to be lower than we thought most years because others had spent more than we thought they had.

One of the Walsall subs today, Albert Adomah, played against us for Harrow Borough back in Ryman league days

I think that’s alright for this season isn’t it? None of us went into it thinking automatic promotion hopefuls. Some would have hoped for playoffs but with heart over head until we actually saw what our squad was like. Where we are in the table right now keeps the interest high without setting unreasonable expectations.

Well the first 10 games or so were agains't in the main weaker teams. We did well but now not so. More money and a bigger budget but obviously we cannot afford that. Maybe a playoff spot but not sure.

Gutted.

Trigger - no banana for you

You win some you lose some. Like Grimsby, Walsall were quite good. Nice to see some proper stewards in the west stand doing a proper stewarding job (and politely) instead of the sixth formers who did sod all.

Bert Williams who played for Wolverhampton Wanderers which is near Walsall.

Could be worse, we could be Citeh.

Frustrating game. Not much in it and we had the better chances. Walsall were good though and physically stronger than us.

I agree with Nick (where have I heard that before?). An entertaining game, typical League 2, more effort than skill and I thought we had more chances, they were marginally the better team. We miss Reeves to knit midfield together. Smith is good but his problem is that he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

Apologies for the double post - please ignore the duplicate

An entertaining game today - we gave it 100% and were arguably unlucky to not get a point (just as we were arguably lucky to get one on Tuesday). For some reason games played in poor conditions are often enjoyable to watch - possibly because the weather makes it too risky to engage in backwards/ sideways passing. It sort of sums up why we are unlikely to make the playoffs but I have nev
