8.30am – Looking forward to the footie game later today. I haven’t been to the County Ground for quite some time. Actually…I think the last match was against Walsall and I tell you what…we got promoted that day, so I’m obviously a lucky omen. I watched the Exeter game on the telly, well I say watch..

Read moreFollowing the midweek results Town have dropped to 5th place in League One, 3 points behind 2nd place Leeds United with four games to play. Walsall are sitting comfortably in mid-table in 13th place with 54 points. Overall Town have a fair home record against Walsall, but it has been poor in recent years as they have only won 3
