This post has just made me realise that Neil Campbell is one of my favourite ever players, top quality shithousing.

Neil Campbell had a good first season with us, not so good second. He arrived with that nickname from his previous club fans due to him falling over much of the time in their view.
Quigley is very much a marked man in this league, but i do consider him our best striker no doubt. The pairing was a light hearted one, in answer to posts stating Quigley always falling over. Should be interpreted as such.

Do you think Chris Taylor is worth his place ?

We won so he is worth his place playing in that role doing what the manager wants him to do. Remember Michael Jones and Beadling are injured. As already been said we are not managers or coaches at EFL level. Kelly's experience, if you care to look at it, is second to none coming is as assistant/caretaker manager for numerous clubs. Reality is Kelly is our only hope. The way he sets us up the shape of the team etc etc tells you that he is the right man for the job. Should only really criticise if you have coached or proved yourself at this level. Most of our team that came up has played very little football at this level. Josh and Quigs are examples and they are growing into their roles at this level. One thing for certain I will never say again there is very little difference between non league and league 2!

Lastly, if we do stay up I do hope Kelly stays but that might be difficult being a man of the West Midlands. However, if we are in the EFL next season the next manager must have experience of successfully working in L1 or L2 over a period of time. What I'm saying is we require an old head at the helm.

Same here!

Was surprised Kay didn't take it further forward before shooting but he knew best!

Massive win. Great start to the weekend. The Walsall commentators were decent apart from the first 5 mins where they were obsessing about what formation they were playing.

Let's hope we play Cheltenham on an off day on Tuesday.They are due a defeat.Barrow have done it once.Lets see Kelly's Hero's do it again.Well done for tonight. Come on the Bluebirds.

The lad made an effort and got in touch with me for info so shared with him my Barrow notes - I like it when they go that extra length to do that

Rob Kelly is proving you can mold.player's to play to their strengths.
A proper football coach and does not look like a second hand car salesman.
The Board have been naive but realised and addressed the situation no matter what happens thanks for what you have done.

In Rob Kelly’s 8 games in charge, we have won 15 points. Extend that record to the 32 games we have played this season and we would have 60 points and therefore be top of the league. Onwards.

It definitely came across, as they dropped in bits of info about a lot of our players during the game. Makes it seem a lot more professional when they make the effort. I've only watched a few away games on ifollow so don't often hear away commentary, but I got the impression the Bolton lads didn't make much of an effort.

Well done again to the players , the coaching staff and the directors ...two in a row now ...it's a good habit to cultivate .

Let's build on this ... and hopefully , next season all us fans can come back and watch the wins accruing in League 2 again .

Absobloodykutley Ang, Happy Birthday to you too

Do find it interesting that fans of any club encountering us and losing seem to lose it themselves. Tonight's result seems to have triggered particularly emotional reaction. Losing to us apparently condemns Walsall to certain relegation in the eyes of many despite still having 6 points more than we do.

Very happy Barrovian again tonight. But on this occasion not wholly surprised. If we were going to win, this was the way I'd have expected it to happen. To me it proves Kelly was really spot on (again) with selection and tactics. Reports suggested that Walsall have been pretty recently disjointed and rudderless and that seemed to be case tonight. It was a game that if we hadn't won we'd have said we should've.

It proves that on current form at least the bottom three might not be the worst three in this League and this season is far from done. And we're back up to 1.0 PPG! Will now be looking as closely at Vale and Colchester tomorrow as I will Grimsby and Southend.

Grimsby play Colchester

For us simply put 18 points required from the 14 games we have left just sounds a lot lot more straight forward task than the situation looked a month ago. It’s been a superb week
