Pardew Praises Fans

"The fans were terrific today but we gave them nothing. You can't expect them to get off their seats when we gave them nothing to get off their seats for," he siad after the disappointing 0-0 draw with the Saddlers.

"We didn't even make a tackle for about 30 minutes. This place will come alive if they get the right product in front of them, but we didn't give them that today and we've got to hold our hands up.

"Walsall obviously came to slow the tempo down, which is what you would expect from a team that hasn't had a result for a while."
