Till throws down the gauntlet
Walsall winger Peter Till has threw down the play-off gauntlet and told his team-mates to prove their worth.
The Saddlers have beaten just one of League One's top nine – Huddersfield – and are yet to play sixth-placed Bristol Rovers following their 2-1 defeat at Millwall on Saturday.
They welcome struggling Leyton Orient this weekend before a triple header with play-off rivals Rovers, Norwich and Charlton and Till reckons the Saddlers need to show their promotion credentials.
He said: "The league doesn't lie, we're not outside the play-offs for nothing. We have to make sure we take points off the bigger sides. We've shown against Leeds and Norwich we can compete, it's a case of doing it more consistently.
"If we want to be where we think we should be, which is in the play-offs, we need to be getting results against teams like Millwall."
But Till, who made his first start since October at the weekend, insists the Saddlers are refusing to feel sorry for themselves after two successive defeats against the Lions and Southampton saw them slip to 10th.
He added: "We've played two teams who have bigger budgets and are looking to get into the play-offs. We can't be too down-hearted."
