Yeovil 1 Walsall 3

walsallcrest1.jpgWalsall moved to within a point of the League One play-offs after an impressive win at Yeovil.

First-half headers from Darren Byfield and Steve Jones put the Saddlers in complete control, before a scrappy strike from Jonathan Obika pulled one back for the Glovers after 30 minutes.

The Saddlers had to ride out a second half storm from the hosts, as they were put under immense pressure but held firm.

Then, with a minute remaining, substitute Alex Nicholls squared for fellow replacement Sam Parkin to bundle home the third.

    Well Done Lads Great Result

    A lot of credit has to go to the Management team for getting us one point off the play offs when a lot of pundits put us down to struggle this year in league one.

    I think the Chairman should contribute to the Petrol Money to each and everyone of the 122 Saddlers Faithful who made the 340 mile round trip. Up the Saddlers !
