of course he's going to say that

he doesn't want any risk to the players

perfectly understandable

and no it wouldn't have been the case all day had the walsall staff succeeded in their attempts to make him satisfied

as i said before, the game could have gone ahead in other scenarios

like a less protective manager who wasn't in charge of tired players and a small squad with a huge 2nd half of the season ahead

you can surely realise not all managers are the same and there would have been cases where the game would have been played

the same as when some matches are played when often it could not be

like that waterlogged pitch at pompey for example

        and the ref could have been happy to let the game be played (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 28, 18:16:29
