Adam Chambers hopes his return will be low-key

It's difficult to imagine a more explosive entrance – but Adam Chambers just wants a quiet life.

In his first two Walsall games the midfielder scored a 30-yard wonderstrike against a former club before being sent off just 12 minutes into the next match.

One three-game ban later and the former Albion ace is available for tomorrow's game at Bournemouth hoping for a low-key trip.

His stunning goal in the opening-day 1-0 win over Leyton Orient – the club he left in the summer – announced his entrance in spectacular fashion.

But just three days later he was dismissed in the 3-0 Carling Cup defeat to Middlesbrough.

Now Chambers wants his place back – with Anton Peterlin having deputised – but is keen to avoid the bad headlines and prove his dismissal was a one-off.

He said: "I don't know what the manager's going to do yet but I'm hoping there won't be anything too eventful – in a negative way at least!

"I don't feel I'm a dirty player, I'm very competitive and always have been but I'd never made a tackle like that before. I'm hoping it won't happen again. It's a fine line and sometimes you can cross that line and find yourself getting sent off. But I'm not a young player and I should know better.

"I do put myself about and get into tackles but I have no idea why I went in with two feet. It was one of those things, it was a bit of a blur and I can't really explain it. I felt like I won the ball but I can totally understand why the referee sent me off."

Cherries boss Lee Bradbury took charge just nine days after Walsall chief Dean Smith was appointed in January – with the teams at the opposite ends of League One.

They joined a growing number of the next generation of fledgling bosses in the Football League and Premier League.

At 36 Bradbury is four year's Smith's junior, with the Walsall chief a relative veteran when compared MK Dons' Karl Robinson and Chelsea's Andre Villas-Boas – both just into their 30s.

And Smith, who could be without Jon Macken (ankle) tomorrow, is not surprised about the influx of younger managers to challenge the old establishment.

"There's a few of us who have been given a chance and that's what it's about – you have to be ready when it comes around," he said.

"I'm quite pleased people are talking about me in the same breath as Karl Robinson who is 31!

"It's like players, you always have a few young players coming through to the first team and managers will be the same."
