No surprises in cup insists Weston

Walsall 1Walsall defender Rhys Weston insists there will be no surprises when the Saddlers visit Stourbridge on Saturday.

Chris Hutchings’ men are desperate to avoid an FA Cup upset at the War Memorial Ground and book their place in the second round.

Weston insists the team will remain calm in order to get the result.

The 29-year-old said: “I’ve been to these grounds before so I know what to expect. It’s going to be hostile but a great occasion for all the fans.

“At Cardiff I played against Tiverton but it was moved to our ground for safety reasons and we then played Dover away, which was interesting.

“I had a wry smile on my face when I saw the draw, that’s the beauty of the cup. It throws up a number of great draws and it’s going to be a very tough game.

“But for us it’ll be a case of being ultra professional and try to get into the hat for the next round. The coaching staff have done their homework.”
