There is argument to say for that XI that Bugiel, Reeves and arguably Smith are out of form and should not start but he’ll never drop his favourites.

They played Hawkwind at the Barrow match last Saturday. Someone around me was surprised they were still going and had a new album out.

Silk - plenty of good old Hawkwind songs that would go down well at PL, not just Silver Machine… 🎸☺️

During running some morning errands I bought the new Uncut magazine and was surprised to see that there are new albums out from The Farm, Hawkwind and, if you know your nineties indie, Rialto. Old rockers never die, eh?

*those*

M6 closed J10-11. 45 minutes delay

Going back to DD's post about the constitution, one of its holes is that it does not require a board candidate to be a trust member. The separate election rules stipulate trust membership for candidates. And thode rules can be read as part of the constitution. But oddly the constitution itself is silent on the matter.

Best of luck to the mighty Don's, a 1-2 win & lots of happy Don's enjoying the weekend, safe travels folks, and a shout out to Mikey T leave the mic open from 2.25 until your wind down at around 5pm please. The crowd noises are aways welcome to build up the listening experience when you aren't speaking. Mucho grassy ass

Happy match day everyone. Off to Cardiff to see John Cale.

One of the supporters coaches turned up 30 minutes late at Plough Lane apparently 😯 Hopefully they’ll get there on time…. Driver probably changed his clocks last night instead of tonight (and the wrong way too….) 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh yeah, I forgot Browne - JJ will probably start him ahead of Maycock…

Jaw - I wouldn't be surprised to see Browne instead of Maycock but agree there won't be many changes. Sounds like Ball may be on the bench as well which I think will be good to see. Walsall are in rotten form, only won 2 of the last 13, out of all the games we have left against teams in the top half, this is the one we should be winning.

JaW - that’s a decent shout for the lineup, and there aren’t too many (any?) better options on the bench who could/should be used instead. Hopefully Bugiel won’t have just stepped off a plane after a long flight….

Good luck to the team and travelling fans today. More than 1,000 away fans will be a fantastic turnout. Let's hope the team respond appropriately.

After a weeks rest I can’t see Jackson rotate much as he doesn’t know how. Injuries force a change at the back so expect him to pick his usual favourites. Goodman, ogundere, Lewis, Johnson, neufville, smith, reeves, maycock, Tilley, Bugiel, Stevens.

Partial solar eclipse (31%) peak at 11am this morning. Use a colander to project the Sun on to the pavement or proper blackout glasses to see.

Still predicted to finish fourth by the bookies. No-one has faith that we can do the autos.

Not too worried about Grimsby, any team with a negative goal difference and have conceded 55 goals after 39 games are in a false position. They are there for the taking in every match.

PW - thanks

Morning all - happy match day…. We could be anywhere from 3rd to 6th by 5pm today, so let’s hope for a positive outcome. And if it’s not the best day, there’s another seven games after this one… 🤞

RK - Yes, I've known that since October '23 ...

Bad Egg- try Wallows Lane for parking (NW of the ground).

I read earlier that we've sold over 1,100 tickets for tomorrow.

Grimsby promotion spoilers eh?

For the diminishing few like myself that like to buy a matchday programme, Walsall are one of the few still producing one this season. I've no idea how good it is but it costs an eye-watering £4. Also, their stadium does not accept cash for anything and for those that pay using their smartphone, that is apparently hit and miss so it's a credit or debit card if you need to buy anything.
