Walsall next in the Trophy.
Walsall may be division 4/league 2 leaders but their trophy team is obviously a little different from their league sides so that measurement can probably be largely forgotten. They qualified from their group after games with Birmingham, Fulham u21 and Shrewsbury, managing to finish top to set up this fixture in the first knock out round of this year’s tournament.
The most well known player on the current Walsall books is Albert Adomah, who will be playing his last game as a 36 year old if he features for the Saddlers.
As usual expect a largely academy team to take to the field on the night as I’d presume Noel will see the league as being by far the most important competition so the majority of first teamers will be saved for next weekend’s clash with Blackpool.
Game must be settled on the night, there will be a penalty shoot out to decide things if it’s all square at 90 minutes.
