The Walsall Chronicle
Match16 Sep 2026
Walsall bow out of the cup
Rotherham United go through and Walsall go home, 1‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Vincent Harper runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match19 Sep 2026
Walsall come up short against Milton Keynes Dons
Milton Keynes Dons left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
