PRE-MATCH VIEWS
We can see some light at the end of the tunnel as there's just one more game separating us from a much-needed summer reset.
The Saddlers head into Monday's meeting with Doncaster Rovers on the back of a goalless draw with Crawley Town and a result that saw them register their nineteenth stalemate of a truly stale campaign,
Whatever happens in WS1 tomorrow afternoon, the season has been one of real pain for all involved as, following a promising opening few months, the wheels well and truly came off in January, with the team in nothing short of freefall before, thankfully, the games ran out.
There's not really much for the fans to get behind at the moment, but with a new Head Coach likely to be named this week, we hope they'll be able to reunite the troops ahead of the next few months.
Whether the club opts for a small recruitment drive or a complete rebuild, there is plenty of work to be done if we're to avoid a repeat performance in 2023/24.
OPPOSITION NEWS
Opponents, Doncaster Rovers, sit sixteenth in the table and have endured a poor season of their own, with the Eco-Power Stadium side managing to lose twenty-two of their forty-five games heading into kick-off.
It's not all bad news for Donny, however as they will reach Monday's match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Colchester United, as Tommy Rowe's 30th-minute goal saw them end a run of nine games without a win.

THE LAST TIME WE MET
The most recent meeting took place in front of 6,110 fans at the Eco-Power Stadium on Friday, 2nd December 2022, and saw the Saddlers ease to victory by two-goals-to-nil as Tom Knowles and Danny Johnson netted in the second half to secure all three points.
