'Back him everyday of the week' - Jamie Jellis tipped to overcome Walsall challenges
Mat Sadler has backed Jamie Jellis to rediscover his early Walsall form after a challenging season so far for the midfielder.
The 25-year-old - who scored seven times in his first full season in the Football League last term - is yet to find the net for Walsall during the current campaign.
However, Jellis did produce his best performance in recent memory during the Saddlers' 3-1 victory over Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park last Saturday.
Walsall inverted their midfield with Brandon Comley at the base and new signing Alex Pattison fluidly alternating between his defensive and attacking duties.
Meanwhile, Sadler provided Jellis with a new lease of life by deploying him in a more advanced role.
Sadler backs Jellis to bounce back
"From where he came from, to see him hit the ground running and show what he showed was amazing to see," boss Sadler said.
"Then it comes into the realms of fighting through adversity and he'll do that because he is a strong character.
