Walsall havent played on April 8th since 2000 (The year we were relegated from the Championship). That day we went down 4-3 to Bolton Wanderers in a thrilling game.

In fact our last 6 games on this date have all been away from home, with 5 games out of 6 ending in defeat. But then the positive is that the 5 games prior to these where Walsall were been at home, have all resulted in Walsall being undefeated!!! The only other home game on todays date Walsall also won with a 5-0 win over Torquay.

So there you have it!! I have found my positive!! In history, Walsall have never lost on April 8th!! Now lets hope the lads keep this record going today, with us recording a fine win that will allow us to enter the remaining 6 games with a glimmer of hope.
