I think the only surprise to most Walsall fans when the news of the departure of Chris Hutchings and Martin O’Connor came was that it had all taken quite so long to come about!
Realistically, of course, thanks to our terrible goal difference, we are some four wins short of survival this season.
Winning four games more than your rivals over the course of half a season isn’t easy when you’ve only won five games out of the previous 21 and drawn just two.
That’s why you tend to think a change should have come earlier…

Just as we had all given up hope of some decisive action from Walsall Football Club, they go and surprise everyone by sacking manager Chris Hutchings, assistant Martin O’Connor and Hutch’s mate, chief scout David Hamilton.
I could be critical for the sake of it and say it was long overdue but in reality I’m just relieved. Credit must go to chief executive Stefan Gamble for responding to the numerous e-mails that were fired off to him by angry and anxious fans on Monday night…

Writing was on the wall – it was only a matter of time
The only surprise was that it took so long after four wins in 22 games – culminating in Monday’s 4-1 thumping at Peterborough.
The longer the management team stayed the worse it was going to get. Their presence was counter-productive and the supporters knew it.
It isn’t necessarily fan-power which has sacked them but the outpouring of emotion from supporters last night will have been a key factor…
