JABO Ibehre popped up to grab a deserved late winner on Saturday as Jimmy Mullen's men tasted victory for the first time this season to make it four points from our opening two games.

It was Ibehre's second goal in as many League games as the summer signing from Leyton Orient made another valuable and hard-working contribution. "We were made to work extremely hard during pre-season and it's already starting to pay off for the team," he said. "It was good to get our first three points in the bag to give us added confidence.

"From a personal point of view, I am playing with a smile on my face and will keep working hard to maintain the standards that I have set myself.

"Leaving London for the first time during the summer was a big thing for me. I stepped out of my comfort zone and it has pushed me even more. It has made a better person and I am enjoying the experience.

"I couldn't have asked for a better start to my Walsall career and the fans have been brilliant to me. I am a team player and give my all to help the team get the right result.

"We got there in the end on Saturday and showed real character against a Scunthorpe side who made life extremely difficult once they went down to ten men."
