We welcome Colchester to the Banks’s tomorrow as we bring the curtain down on yet another season of what might of been. Somehow think this will be a term used in May 2015 also!
Vital Quotes:
Dean Smith ‘As I say, it will be a tough challenge. Barring a mathematical miracle, Colchester have secured their League One status and don’t forget that they beat a promoted side last weekend as we were losing to a relegated side.
I have every faith in my players’ ability to go out there and get the result that we all crave.
Walsall Team News:
Only Dean Holden is the notable absence.
Player to watch: Milan Lalkovic
Milan’s loan deal ends tomorrow which will see the Chelsea man return back to his parent club. It has been a decent loan spell although Milan feels he should have scored more. One more to add to the tally tomorrow?
Colchester Team News:
News to follow….
Player to watch: Jabo Ibehre
I was a huge fan of Jabo when he was here. He was like Westcarr in a sense and his hold up play was sublime. Hes chipped in with a few important goals for Colchester this season.
Match Facts & Stats
Colchester have won four of the last seven games between the two sides.
The last meeting here resulted in a 1-0 victory for Walsall with Brandy scoring the goal.
Walsall have won just 2 of their last 17 games.
Ref Watch:
Mr David Webb from Lancashire.
Our last match officiated by Mr Webb was our 2-2 draw with Crewe last season.
Match Prediction:
Colchester still require a point to be mathematically certain of League 1 football next season although it would take a minor miracle for the 5 teams below them to win.
We like draws this time of year so i’ll go for 1-1.

End of season party!
