Shambolic Walsall slumped back to the bottom of League One after a catastrophic defeat to Notts County. Devoid of any desire or quality, the Saddlers were comprehensively outplayed by a slick Magpies side – who were only six points ahead of Walsall at the start of play.

Football: FA Cup 2nd round

Plainmoor, Sat 27 Nov 10, KO 3pm
Anybody remember what the third round of a cup competition looks like?
Of course, this is the point where fans normally get excited by the prospect of a second round win and a third round tie with one of the “big boys”, bringing in some welcome resources for the Manager. This year, though, I have some very mixed feelings about that. Let’s face it, despite all of the moans about resources and the playing budget, Hutchings has been backed by the club this season. You don’t bring in Premiership loan players, such as McGivern, Reid, Davis and Davies on peanuts and Devaney and Dickinson’s wages, as Championship players can’t come cheap. He’s even added to the squad with Macken and Butler as well. No, Hutchings has been given resources this season, it’s just that he’s managed to completely waste them so far. Blame where blame is due, please.
That brings us to what sort of team he can put together this week…
