We make a quick road trip once more as we travel to Chesterfield for our second away game in four days hoping to build on Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Oldham.
Vital Quotes:
Whitney “”We need to start understanding how good we can be and take what we are doing in training into matches for a longer period of time.
“I think we can see some unbelievable technical ability but we have not really produced it.”
Chesterfield Team News:
Chesterfield have no injury concerns and look set to name the same side that defeated Swindon at the weekend.
Player to watch: Ched Evans
Despite all the uncertaintity regarding Evans personal life you cannot doubt his ability as a footballer – he has already scored twice this season and will no doubt be at the top of the goalscoring charts this season.
Walsall Team News:
Saddlers should welcome captain Adam Chambers back following his absence at the weekend. Rico Henry dislocated his shoulder at the weekend and will be out for a few weeks. Cockerill Mollet is on standby should Whitney decide not keep Jason McCarthy at left back who deputised when Rico left the field on Saturday.
Player to watch: Franck Moussa
Moussa has his best game in a Saddlers shirt at the weekend and looks like hes gaining full fitness and will be looking to get one over on the Spireites having played on loan.
