00:00Walsall face Tramia Rovers at the Bescott on Saturday and although Matt Sadler is struck
00:10upon a preferred 11 with Walsall really finding some consistency and continuity in the league
00:18there are still a number of selection headaches for him probably more so on the bench than
00:23the 11 itself but of course the return of Charlie Lakin will raise the question over whether to
00:31keep Courtney Clarke in the 11 following his first league start in the 1-1 draw at Fleetwood
00:37last Saturday or to obviously recall Charlie Lakin who prior to his red card in the 1-0 win
00:45over Chesterfield has been one of the standout performers for Walsall with key cog in the system
00:50under Matt Sadler so you know although Clarke impressed during his first league start you
00:56would suspect that Charlie Lakin will be recalled to that start in 11 he was obviously there as well
01:03made the trip to Lancashire to cheer on his side last weekend. Jamie Jealous is the next question
01:10Mark. Matt Sadler did flirt or hint at the potential of a return last week it was mainly used as a
01:18a bluff tactic if you want to call it that to maybe give Fleetwood the false sense that
01:27he was going to be involved last weekend and that wasn't the case but he does expect him to be fit
01:34this weekend whether he comes straight back into the team though that's probably something that I
01:39wouldn't expect personally I feel probably Ryan Finner going to keep his place on the right side of that
01:45centre midfield duo Lewis Warrington I put a piece out on the website of him and how much he's
01:54improved gradually in his recent performances so that'll probably be the midfield Daniel Karno and
01:59Presley up front the defence has been really solid you know Aidan Flint has been as Matt Sadler likes to
02:06describe every time we seem to discuss him at Man Mountain and then you've got Harrison Burke who
02:12probably didn't have one of his best performances at Fleetwood but nonetheless has started the season
02:16really strongly since joining the club from Chester and then Evan Weir left centre back
02:21Vincent Harper fast emerging as you know one of the most consistent performers at the moment since
02:27replacing the injured Mason Hancock hit left wing back Connor Barrett one of the first names on the
02:33team sheet along with Flint and then Miles Roberts between the sticks but probably yeah the the biggest
02:39question mark to be over who could be named on the bench and Rico Richards impressed on his debut
02:45during his cameo from the bench at Fleetwood Jamil Matt hasn't had the desired impact in the limited
02:51minutes that he has played so I think Matt Sadler has a sort of big call to make on on who he names his
02:59attacking options from the bench you know we know that Jamil Matt can serve as a focal point and is probably the
03:05closest thing to a straight swap for Aaron Presley but with the fact that you know he's earmarked
03:13Rico Richards as a midfield and a second striker option he offers that versatility on the bench
03:21and then you know it all depends on whether he recalls Jamie Jealous as well because that will likely
03:26mean that either Jidakike and Jamil Matt drop out as well so he's kind of got a call to make on
03:32whether he plays Richards or or Akike and I mean my predicted 11 is as I mentioned Pryor and then
03:41the bench to be Hornby Brown, Conley, Courtney Clark, Jim Jealous, Rico Richards and Albert Stoma.
03:48So
