Our penultimate home game of the season sees the visit of play off chasing Walsall. The saddlers are 3 points off 7th and one of several teams vying for an extension to their season.
They’ve been in overall good form over the last few months and had a last minute winner on Monday versus Salford to keep them in the mix. The scorer was Mo Faal who had a loan spell at Donny earlier this season and was a handful I recall. They also have other goalscorers with Danny Johnson, Jamille Matt and Josh Gordon in the squad.
At this stage of the season I’d like possible options for next season to be given more game time. Sam Taylor, Hawkes and Dennis to name a few although I suspect we’ll try and offload the latter. Unless Walker is fit however I’m expecting the same 11 as Monday with James Norris again at LB and McAlear alongside Hendry. Up top Luke Norris has looked off the pace in the last couple of games plus I’m not sure it works with him and Connor as a front two so perhaps Saunders will start. Some rumours that Turnbull has damaged his shoulder/arm so he may miss out meaning a start for Yarney
Walsalls away record is pretty poor so I’m hoping we can pick up a win and not extend our winless run to four games. It was easy for the players to be up for the Wrexham game, but we don’t want our season fizzling out and ending on a low.
