Walsall's Jekyll & Hyde Act vs Salford
27 Oct
Summary
- Walsall showed two distinct performances against league leaders.
- The team rallied with two quick goals before conceding again.
- Manager seeks more consistent confidence and belief.
Walsall boss Lee Grant has called for his team to consistently display the confidence and belief that characterized their brief, impressive comeback against League Two leaders Salford City. The Saddlers were outplayed for much of the first half and found themselves trailing by two goals.
In the second half, Walsall produced a spirited response, scoring two goals in quick succession to equalize. However, their resurgence was short-lived as Salford quickly restored their lead, eventually securing a fourth goal. This result ended Walsall's unbeaten record against top-four teams.
Grant noted two versions of his team: one lacking personality and belief, and another that fought back effectively. He is now focused on instilling that attacking mentality and consistent confidence for upcoming fixtures.
Walsall's schedule includes three consecutive away games. They will face Colchester in a league match on Saturday, followed by an FA Cup tie at Newport County. Subsequently, they have an EFL Trophy fixture against Leicester City before returning to Bescot to host Barnet on Saturday, November 14.
