Saddlers watch video nasties
Walsall manager Chris Hutchings has told his young stars to use their video nasties as inspiration to improve.
The team are set for a hectic January after their Christmas fixtures were hit by the big freeze and Hutchings wants his youngsters on form ahead of trips to Southend, Leeds and Gillingham.
"They've got to look to improve, not only out on the training ground but by watching DVDs on how to improve," said the boss, who also welcomes Norwich and Brighton to the Banks's Stadium this month.
"As a professional and a young lad you should be out there most afternoons looking to do something relevant to your game.
"It's a learning experience for them. We get frustrated at times when we look at things and they don't see it the way they should, but that's part of learning and making mistakes."
Hutchings believes Netan Sansara and Manny Smith could benefit from his advice as the defensive duo still need to improve.
"Netan's done really well, but he's still got an awful lot to learn, as has Manny Smith. Sometimes they are naive at times in what they do, how they play and what they should be looking at," he said.
"From now until the end of the season is a big time for Netan. His contract is up, as there are quite a few contracts up, so it's down to the individual."
