Wright to keep physical

Walsall loan signing Tommy Wright has pledged that the physical side of his game is here to stay despite his brush with a red card on Saturday.

The 22-year-old believes strength is a vital part of his make-up and he is not about to change his style.

Wright picked up a yellow card for a late tackle on Notts County keeper Kevin Pilkington before getting a final warning for a similar offence.

"It's fair to say that I have a physical element to my game," he said. "I like to put myself about and be involved in the thick of the action.

"The Notts County fans wanted me to get sent off, but let's just say that I would have been very disappointed had the referee decided to show me a red card."

Wright kicked off his two months on loan at Bescot by scoring the opening goal in Saddlers' 2-1 win against the Magpies.

"I was absolutely delighted with the start," he said. "To get off the mark straight away was nice from a personal point of view, but the main thing was that the team picked up three points.

"I only found out that I was coming here on the Thursday, then trained with the lads on the Friday. It was a case of being thrown in at the deep end, but I got my head down, concentrated hard and I am pleased with the start that I have made."
