Walsall's squad get down to work

Walsall midfielder Brandon Comley said the players have been getting down to some hard work on the training ground this week under their new management team.

Comley said it has been a ‘productive’ week at Essington, with the players working under Mat Sadler and assistant Richard O’Kelly.

It was the first full week of training since Michael Flynn’s departure and Comley said they were getting used to the new regime.

He said: “It’s been a good week, it’s been a bit different from what we have been used to although we know Mat obviously, but it has been an introduction to Richard.

“But training is training, it’s hard work and we had plenty to go through after the Salford game, things like positional sense, our roles within the team, there was a lot to work on.

“We are looking forward to taking it into the Crawley game and the final one of the season.”
