Observer, 22 Feb 2004

BSAD: Despite the post-match celebrations, we don’t yet know what this really means. But we do know what it couldmean. For all the talk of the inevitability of a battle against relegation until the end of the season, it’s well within our power to change that, quickly and decisively. To put an end to it. Approach the next handful of games in the same positive and confident manner, and that fifty point mark could be within reach much sooner than we’d thought possible. Not what we’d hoped for back in August, perhaps. But a bloody relief nonetheless.

BBC SportWatford had a Chris Baird own-goal to thank for a share of the spoils against Walsall at Vicarage Road.

BSAD imageBSAD report: As match reports go, this one seems about as pointless as the game itself. That is, it would’ve suited everyone if Ray Lewington had been able to make a phonecall to Colin Lee, negotiate a one-all draw, and save the trouble of a Tuesday night spent watching nonsense and listening to nonsense. And save me the trouble of a Wednesday morning spent writing (about) nonsense. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t entertaining…and, yes, we’ll take a point in the absence of anything better. Next, please….

The first third is best forgotten as we were completely ineffective. Our first shot of any note came in the second thirty minutes, when a twenty-five yard drive by Ardley which was heading for the top corner was tipped over, and our first offside occurred shortly afterwards. We were thankful to be going in level at half-time.

The double substitution was welcomed like a rain shower after years of drought. Amid all the fuss over Anthony McNamee, we shouldn’t neglect to mention Jamie Hand. Apart from the obligatory booking for a needless hack, he immediately gave the midfield some much-needed oomph, if nothing else…and it cannot have been coincidental that we began to see Micah Hyde again at around the same time.

BSAD imageBSAD report: There’s a certain irony here.When we blew the top half of the First Division apart back in ’99, there were a few noses put out of joint. Thinking back, there are memories of familiar criticisms levelled at Graham Taylor’s style of play, its alleged reliance on big strikers and set pieces. Not just Trevor Francis either.

The minute’s silence for Roy Clare was impeccably observed, Vicarage Road so quiet that the only sound was the eery clanking of the turnstiles letting in late arrivals. Particular credit goes to the handful of travelling Walsall fans for their respectful participation.
