Walsall started the season strong, dominating League Two and holding a significant lead. However, a shocking decline in performance led to a final-day loss of automatic promotion, leaving them in fourth place. Their early success, bolstered by a record nine consecutive wins, was undermined by the loss of key players, and performances waned towards the end of the season. As they enter the play-offs, their chances of advancement are rated the lowest among contenders, reflecting a dramatic turn in fortunes that left fans and management in disbelief.
"At the start of the season we'd have taken it - finishing fourth - but we all know that's not the situation."
"Promotion is still possible but it must now come through the tombola of the play-offs, where agony can come out of the barrel as easily as ecstasy."
