Totally agree, a great little player, and of the ilk that we usually struggle against. Didn't Atkinson nobble him in the first minute last time he appeared at the Hall ?

Kyprianou is a Watford product, we signed him for the U23 Squad.

From a Walsall rag ;
Sitting in 14th spot just a point and a place behind tomorrow’s opponents. Straight off the back of a handsome away victory. Tomorrow clash with Southend should be the kind of game Saddlers fans see as a springboard for their season.
Doncaster Rovers, the team dispatched 3-0 on their home patch by Saddlers last weekend stuffed tomorrow’s visitors Southend 4-1 just a few weeks ago.
Add to that the fact the Shrimpers have been on an inconsistent run of late losing 3-0 to Wigan before a draw against Peterborough and victory last week against Bury.
And Saddlers have just secured their biggest away win in 17 months and their first clean sheet since last season.
All the ingredients to get the home faithful rubbing their hands, right? Erm, wrong.
If the mood of our Saddlers Social contributors is any gauge, boss Jon Whitney still faces a trial by unconvinced supporters when he takes his place in the home dugout.
The boss is, of course, well aware of that.
As he commented after the win at Doncaster: “It’s now four unbeaten. We have lost one in eight.
“You wouldn’t think it because of some of the negative press but that is the way of the world.”

But Whitney, as always, is a manager to focus on the plus signs.
“We stay positive as a group. I stay positive as a manager,” he said post Doncaster.
“ We have lost one in eight, that is quite good momentum.
“And if you turn those draws into wins like we did at Doncaster, suddenly you will start to climb the table. You can make statistics anyway you want. I love the club, I love the players, we have got a special group that can go on and do really good things if we are consistent.
Advertising
“And they have been. Our discipline has been a lot better inside our own box. We stay on our feet a lot more.
“What we do on the training pitch is starting to come into games.”
Whitney’s cofidence was obviously buoyed by the clean sheet last weekend, something he and his coaches have been striving for on the training ground for months.
“We are confident. Some of the play we have had in training has been outstanding,” he insisted this week.
What Whitney will also be all to well aware of is that pressure from the stands can often translate itself into jittery performances the pitch.
And an anxious home crowd, many at odds with the manager, could present as many problems for Whitney as the side put out by Shrimpers boss Phil Brown.

That's decent of Walsall. They've switched the match to Roots Hall according to our garbage website.

What on earth are we going to do on here for the rest of the weekend and next week if Southend win, and win well, tomorrow? I mean, if we only scrape a lucky 1-0, then of course there will be plenty of nits to pick, but what if we really give them a stuffing, how scary would that be?

Walsall still won 3-0 at Rotherham last week though.......

Either play Demetriou or white at left back, just not Timlin! If that means Lenny has to play alongside Ferdinand..... so be it put Timlin on their little “ messi” and let him mess him up!

They did do better than we did when they played at Rotherham this season. They lost 5-1.

Some times it's ok to be in smug mode.
Was it really a 'lucky' 1-0 win though! :raspberry:
I'd say it was well deserved!
