Following Saturdays defeat, the Saddlers now face Fleetwood just one point above the relegation. It really is squeaky bum time!
Vital Quotes:
Liam Roberts ‘”Whether I`m in the team for Fleetwood or not, I`ll be giving 110 per cent.
“When you are a keeper there is one spot and two people wanting to fill it.
“We have to support each other. Mark has been very supportive.
“There`s no point in being negative.
“We have to make sure we are both pushing one another day in, day out.”
Walsall Team News:
Saddlers look set to welcome Nicky Devlin back into the side following a month break in place of Liam Kinsella.
Whitney will have to decide whether to recall Mark Gillespie and Tyler Roberts back into the side.
Flo looks set to miss the game with a persistent injury.
Player to watch: Tyler Roberts
This guy needs to start. I understand Baka is our own so giving him game time is more beneficial but Tyler is the best striker currently at the club and when he starts we look dangerous.
