Pressley, signed from Stevenage earlier in the summer, netted three times during pre-season, including the Saddlers' second in a 3-0 win over Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. 

Bournemouth loanee Stuttle scored the opener in Gloucestershire to head into the new season with two goals in the space of four days. 

Stuttle and Pressley 'hit the ground running' for Walsall

Bournemouth loanee Jonny Stuttle restores Walsall's lead just before half-time.
Bournemouth loanee Jonny Stuttle found the net against both Derby and Forest Green last week.

"They've both come in and hit the ground running. They have different styles - Aaron is a target man, who wins pretty much every header," Lakin said.
