Team news as James Furlong makes first league start amid 4 changes
Lee Grant has named his Walsall team to face Oldham Athletic at Bescot this evening.
James Furlong makes his first league start for Walsall, as Lee Grant makes four changes for their home clash against Oldham Athletic in League Two.
The Irishman came off the bench late on during the Saddlers’ 1-1 draw at Swindon Town on Saturday, and replaces Mason Hancock, who had previously started every league game.
Elicha Ahui is recalled at right-back, with Declan Skura slotting back into the defence alongside skipper James Connolly.
Elsewhere, Charlie Crew is given the nod in midfield over Sven Sprangler and Lewis Simper comes in at the expense of Reece Smith.
Tai Sodje also keeps his place in attack after scoring three goals in his last two games across all competitions.
