The highlights of Walsall’s JPT exit at the hands of Chesterfield are now available to view on-line

As predicted last week former Walsall fan favourite Anthony Gerrard has left Cardiff City.

Iffy Onuora has been talking about his new  role as coach of Ethiopia.   Appointed in June, signing a one year contract he is gearing up to face Nigeria’s ‘Super Eagles’ the nation of his birth next year in what will be his toughest qualification test.

After renewed optimism, we were sent crashing back down to Earth after losing to Brighton & Hove Albion. We were good value for a point, up until Nicholls’ dismissal for violent conduct. Some of the football from Walsall was a joy to watch. We had several chances to take the lead and, generally, we passed it around well. The result aside, I felt as though there were many positives to take from the game and, overall, the performance was encouraging. If we play to that standard every week we will almost certainly win more than we lose, providing we solidify at the back, and will have a good season.

Walsall Web Fans looks back on a highly entertaining game between Walsall and Chesterfield from the early 80's which produced seven goals and a vital win for The Saddlers if they were to have a chance of escaping relegation in their first season back in the Third Division. The game featured here was from March 28th, 1981. Walsall had failed to win in their last six games and lost their previous home game 0-3 to Oxford United and were in the lower reaches of the table whereas Chesterfield were doing well in the top half.
