James Poole, 22, Walsall, 12 Years
What was your first game?
Torquay at home in 91/92, can't remember the score or much about the game
Describe the most memorable and worst game you've seen and why?
Play Off final at cardiff always needs a mention, Everything about the day was great, still celebrating the equaliser as Byfield scored a great goal to send us up and leave the cocky reading fans crying on the coachs.
The 3-2 tonking we gave you lot on the openign day of that same season will live long in the memory as well, Robins celebrating his retaken penalty in front of the walsall fans to make it 2-0, then bang bang bang including a comedy own goal from one of your defenders
Who do you consider as your current local rivals, and why?
Wolves, from listening to you lot, it's kinda the same reasons why you lot hate Wednesday, both clubs think they are bigger then their boots
Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
Jeff Peron was brilliant for us in the seaosn he was with us, The agffer Paul Merson ahs shown glimpes of brilliance with out ever doing it regulary. If we can keep hold of Matty Fryatt for a couple of years and he can bulk up a bit then sure he will be one of the best players we;ll have had in last 10 years or so.
Antony Gerrard Looks a bit special as well, some 50 yard balls his big cousin would be proud of
Which current or former Rotherham player impressed you most?
Can't say anyone has ever stood out for you, workmanlike non fancy strong team is how would describe the millers
How did you fare last season?
Crap. Crap season all round. 5 wins on the bounce right at the end showed us it could be done, not signing joachim has left us toothless still up front and unless we can sign a quality striker then can see the same kind of season unfolding
Whats the pre-season being like, who's Merson brought in and your thoughts about them.?
Anthony Gerrard - great signing, this kid is magic. Great Future ahead of him
Craig Pead - wasn't that impressed with his whilst on loan last year, but he played in both midfield and at right back, his performences at right back were sound and rememebr some big challenges from the little man just need to make sure merse doesn't toy with palying him in midfield again
Paul Smith - Heard good things about this veteran midfielder, not sure we need him but keeps osborn out of the team i'm happy
Ruben Laroosa - not seen him play but have heard indiffernt things about him, think he will be a forign flop but hoping he proves me wrong
Chris Westwood, our new captain, good stong centre defender,
Staunton apparntly signing this week
How do you think you'll finish up this season?
With a Quality Striker added - top 6
Without - Lower Mid table
If Walsall were a TV personality, who would it be and why?
Kate Moss, quite pretty and attractive, Nowt up front and relying on a man with all kinds of problems
Thats Harsh but first thing that came to mind.
So what do you think of The Millers?
Workmanlike, work hard as a team, seems to attract a few of our rejects over last few years
Do Walsall fans still have the face on about that last game of the season??
Nah, just don't do it again
Is your manager barking mad?
At times, but the hope is he's learning, he's made mistakes, big mistakes, but he does appear to be putting them right. Merse is a genuinly top bloke and would love for him to suceed. This time last season he was spouting off about how we will walk the league, this year i havn't heard a peep and we look much better suited
Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
Theres been grumbles about the chairman in the past but i think he's been proved right overall with the way he has run the club. The rent issue is one where i couldn't support him but i'm confident my club is sfae with him in charge
Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?
Always nice to give Port Vale a hiding
What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
not sure who we'll go,
Oakes
Pead, gerrard, Bennet Wright
Wrack, Smith, Standing, Taylor
Frayatt Letieo
is a maybe, or he could play him self or could play 1 up front which was succesfull lasat season
Predicted score?
2-1 Walsall
Who's going up?
Forest maybe, and a dark horse maybe Oldham, oh and of course the might Saddlers
Who's going down?
MK DONS
Meat & Tatty, Beef n Onion or Chicken Balti?
teak and Kidney
