Morecambe vs Walsall preview: Good early signs in attack says Mat Sadler
Mat Sadler has been buoyed by the early strike partnership developing between Walsall pair Jamille Matt and Ellis Harrison.


Fit again Matt has scored twice in as many games and ticked on to 11 goals in an increasingly prolific season with a vital equaliser in Walsall's 3-1 victory over Chesterfield at Bescot last weekend.
Harrison, who arrived on loan from MK Dons on transfer deadline day, also got off the mark for Walsall after heading home their second goal.
Fellow January recruit Levi Amantchi, signed from Bromley, then opened his goal scoring account with a late third from the bench.
Walsall travel to Morecambe in the lunch-time kick-off on Saturday and Sadler feels he is equipped with a variety of attacking options to affect opposing defences across the division.
"That's what we want. Fingers crossed there were some really good signs on Saturday certainly as the game wore on," he said.


"I thought that both showed their pace and power, and kind of prowess in terms of being effective in the division.
"Both of them showed those sides to them which was really pleasing and really positive. Then, when Levi (Amantchi) and Albert (Adomah) came on, the pair of them took on the mantle and ran themselves into the ground.
"We're going to need all of those options to keep affecting the back-line of the opposition. As you saw on Saturday, the three frontmen scored which was really pleasing.
"Everyone else is going to come to the party and chip in with goals as we go through."
After ending their five-match winless run against Chesterfield, Walsall head into the weekend with a seven-point lead at the League Two summit.
Walsall have already equalled their points tally on the road from the previous campaign (23) but have suffered three successive away defeats.
Now, Sadler is looking to regain consistency levels on their travels.


He continued: "It's never easy, of course it's not. You always want really solid home form and you want to pick up points away from home
"That's our goal, that's our aim. We have been really good at that and there is always context to every game.
"You're always happier when you're winning games. That's the case for all of us so there is no point me saying otherwise.
"It's also prevalent throughout whatever, we just try to be as consistent as we possibly can and keep ramming home our message.
"Of course, everyone is happy when they win a game. There are going to be loads of moments, loads of twists and turns, loads of ups and downs.
"It's up to us to just be who we are and that has been the message this week."
Harry Williams will be available after recovering from a minor knee problem. The defender was forced off in the second half against Chesterfield but has trained as normal this week.
However, Josh Gordon has been ruled out for two months with another hamstring problem, and joins Donervon Daniels (calf), Priestley Farquharson (thigh), Jack Earing (ankle) and George Hall (hamstring) in the treatment room.
