Bradley prepared for Yeovil battle
Walsall midfielder Mark Bradley is prepared for battle at Yeovil after declaring - "There's more to come."
The Saddlers travel to Huish Park tonight looking to erase the memories of Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup defeat at Brentford, which ended their five-game unbeaten run.
But Chris Hutchings' men still hold their four-match streak in the League One and can even break into the top six, should they win and other results go their way.
They sit eighth in the table, two points off the play-offs, with a better goal difference than sixth spot holders MK Dons.
A win at the 13th placed Glovers is a must if Walsall have play-off aspirations and Bradley expects the Saddlers to raise their game ahead of a busy December.
He said: "We can go anywhere and win games but there's always more, you can always improve. If we get 11 players pulling together after the right results and show the confidence we've got then we can win games.
"We know we can get goals, we've got confidence and all we need now is more consistency and hopefully we can get the right results.
"There are a lot of games over Christmas and a run pushes you up the league. If we can go three or four more unbeaten and keep pushing on we can get into the top six.
"We just want to play every week and month by month, game by game – however you want to see it – we need the right results."
Boss Hutchings could ring the changes following the Brentford defeat with Josh O'Keefe desperate for a second start alongside either Dwayne Mattis or Bradley, after making his full bow against Oldham last Tuesday.
Jamie Vincent and Richard Taundry may come into contention after play-offs, while Yeovil have a full squad to choose from.
But Bradley does not mind who he plays with – as long as he is in the team.
He said: "Dwayne is a 'ratter,' while Josh came into the team and used the ball well last week. He played his own game and did really well. I'm really enjoying working with Dwayne, it's always good to get a partnership going but if Josh is in the team we need to help each other again.
"I'm ready to keep playing and performing consistently to get the points we need every game."
The Saddlers' midfield have struggled for goals this season – Steve Jones aside – with only Mattis registering from the central pair.
Bradley hasn't scored since netting the winner in the 1-0 victory at Leyton Orient in March and knows a goal is long overdue.
He said: "It's going to come. I've had a few shots in the last few games but main priority is to play consistently and I'm sure one will drop to me. I've been playing my own game, I like to get forward and now I'm looking for goals."
Tonight's game will be the Saddlers' first trip to Somerset since their opening day draw last season but Bradley remembers another game at Huish Park – a 2-0 win in January 2007 – more vividly.
He said: "I remember a couple of years ago conditions were awful and we'll be going there expecting it to be the same. You need to earn the right to play by battling and winning the tackles and headers.
"That kind of start sets your stall out and then you can start passing the ball and getting the goals."
The Glovers had a free weekend after an early FA Cup exit to Oxford and haven't played since losing 1-0 at Gillingham last Tuesday.
Boss Terry Skiverton likens the Saddlers to the Gills and believes they are a bigger club than his side.
He said: "We're a small club and we're going to places like Gillingham who have been in the Championship. They are one of those clubs that have been a lot bigger in the past, but have fallen by the wayside.
"For me, these are the clubs where we've got an even chance against, or just slightly under an even chance."
