'Burke blow, wide threat & Lakin delight' 5 key takeaways from Walsall's win at Forest Green
Walsall wrapped up pre-season with a comfortable 3-0 win over National League side Forest Green Rovers at the New Lawn.
Jonny Stuttle and Aaron Pressley scored a pair of headers in the first half, before Charlie Lakin's stunner completed the scoring late on.
Here are the main talking points from the Saddlers' final pre-season outing.
Burke blow
One potential blot on the victory was the injury suffered by summer signing Harrison Burke on the hour-mark.
The defender, who arrived from non-league Chester earlier in the window, went down twice before eventually being replaced.
Mat Sadler confirmed in his post-match interview that Burke had rolled his ankle, but was unable to provide much clarity in terms of the severity of the issue.
Wide threat
Mason Hancock demonstrated his excellent crossing ability once again for the first two goals.
