Westlake urged to kick on for Walsall
Walsall manager Chris Hutchings has challenged Darryl Westlake to build on his impressive debut and become a key man for the Saddlers.
The 18-year-old made his bow in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Southend and took the plaudits in an assured display as the hosts claimed a last gasp point.
Sam Parkin's injury-time penalty wiped out Lee Barnard and Dougie Freedman's goals after Steve Jones had put Walsall, who had Dwayne Mattis sent off, 1-0 ahead.
Afterwards, boss Hutchings hailed Westlake and believes he's got the ability to go far.
He said: "Only time will tell, but he showed the potential to do well. It's performances and consistency that will find out how far he goes.
"He's only a young lad. He's got a few years ahead of him to get that experience. He's very fortunate to be given a chance and he's taken it.
"I was very pleased with his performance. He showed in pre-season games what a player he could be. I had one or two other options, but I've got belief in Darryl."
