Marked for Thomas Morris

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad1 Mar 2027

A fracture rules Thomas Morris out for 47 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Walsall will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match1 Mar 2027

Walsall refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 65 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Match27 Feb 2027

After 11 games, Walsall finally taste it again

The first defeat in 11 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Cheltenham Town; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Market1 Mar 2027

Jamille Matt asks to leave Walsall

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Walsall

Abdoul Ouattara was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Joshua Ajala

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joshua Ajala, and the manager let it.

Match27 Feb 2027

A bad afternoon for Walsall against Cheltenham Town

0‑1 to Cheltenham Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings1 Mar 2027

Gideon Kodua was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market1 Mar 2027

Talks stall between Walsall and Wyll Stanway

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad22 Feb 2027

A fracture rules Thomas Morris out for 54 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Walsall will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match20 Feb 2027

Whatever happens, Walsall do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Wyll Stanway in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Walsall this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces22 Feb 2027

One of their own: Gideon Kodua

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match20 Feb 2027

Walsall see off Colchester United

Three points for Walsall, 1‑0 the final word against Colchester United in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Looking ahead22 Feb 2027

The big one: Cheltenham Town come into view

Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Walsall will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.

Player ratings22 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Abdoul Ouattara

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

Joshua Ajala left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Joshua Ajala will call it something else in private.

Player ratings22 Feb 2027

Antony Evans was the difference for Walsall

Marked 7.73. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

In brief

  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Joshua Ajala
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Connor Barrett

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Gideon Kodua, 21, steals the show — 7.66

Marked 7.66 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Walsall

James Furlong and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Walsall rebuffed over Joe Buršík

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Portsmouth have kept their man, and Walsall go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match18 Aug 2026

Cambridge United take the points off Walsall

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Charlie Crew

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Charlie Crew, and the manager let it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Aaron Pressley makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Antony Evans takes the honours

Marked 7.90 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Walsall had the best player on the pitch.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Walsall ask about Wes Harding

A loan enquiry to Millwall: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

A loan move for Joshua Ajala is in the works

Walsall have made the call to West Ham United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Kristi Montgomery will not be coming to Walsall

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Blackburn Rovers is saying, and nobody at Walsall is enjoying the guessing.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Walsall

James Furlong and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Walsall

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Hull City tell Walsall: Jens Hjertø-Dahl is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market17 Aug 2026

James King steps up from the Walsall academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. James King has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

Thomas Morris steps up from the Walsall academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thomas Morris has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

One of our own: Christopher Hall joins the Walsall first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Christopher Hall is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match15 Aug 2026

Walsall come up short against Chesterfield

Chesterfield left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Steven Murray: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

In brief
