Taylor Allen will make Walsall adjustments
Walsall’s Taylor Allen insists that he is willing to adjust his game for the benefit of the team.
Allen has predominantly played at wing-back for the Saddlers, but thrived on the left of a back-three in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Colchester.
And the 23-year-old is confident that his new role at the heart of defence suits him well.
Allen said: “I was also a winger and an attacking player when I started in non-league. As time has gone on, it’s been about maturing and adapting to what you’re needed for.
“The centre-back role suits me. I’ve still got a lot to learn but I get more of the ball, which is good for my game.
“It’s the defensive part that I still need to learn. Like where I need to be on the pitch at certain times, winning headers, winning tackles and being more physical.”
