Comment: Why Fleetwood postponement has come at an ideal time for Walsall
Walsall have been afforded a rare weekend off due to the freezing temperatures that have hit the nation.
An early pitch inspection was called on Saturday morning and the decision was taken to postpone the Saddlers' home fixture against Fleetwood Town the following day.
It was a call that was probably met with a secret sigh of relief within the Walsall camp, after an exhausting and turbulent festive period.
The calm between two storms
Mat Sadler hit out at the congested EFL fixture schedule this week and the Walsall boss is not alone in his complaints.
Colchester United head coach Danny Cowley also voiced his frustrations at the schedule, which he described as "crazy" and "dangerous".
Had the clash against Fleetwood went ahead then it would've been the Saddlers' fifth game in the space of just 16 days.
They played a total of seven matches across all competitions in December and are braced for another busy January.
