Thanks for the reply. RLC. The commentary suggested that Dacres-Cogley appeared frustrated offering himself on the overlap and not getting the ball from Morris, while Kieron seemed to cut inside rather than go outside a lot yesterday. Glatzel's goal v Swindon came from such a move. You mentioned Hawkes being disappointing, it did not sound like Morris was at his best either. I wonder if there's a touch of old club syndrome, Ollie Banks always used to perform poorly v Oldham and Kieron hasn't been at his best v the Saddlers.
I agree Spearing's footballing brain would have been handy yesterday, it sounded like there was a lot of aimless long ball whereas Jay would usually keep things grounded.
Finally Monthe attracted quite a lot of criticism while with Rovers, but playing to his strengths he is a competent defender at this level and wasn't really tested during the game. It may be his absence has contributed to the Walsall slump and they may revive now his ban has ended.
