POPULAR goalkeeper, Clayton Ince played his part in a deserved 2-0 victory over Stockport County at the weekend as The Saddlers moved into the top ten.

Ince made a particularly impressive reflex save late on to deny the visitors. "My job is to make saves and keep clean sheets," he said. "It was a good win for us; we worked hard at it and it is good to see that we are starting to pick up the points that our performances deserve.

"Defensively we are working as a unit and not as individuals. We've cut out the silly mistakes and are now starting to reap the rewards.

"We have a generally young defence and as such it is all about team work and giving each other confidence and belief. The youngsters deserve their chance and it's up to them to keep their place.

"From a personal point of view, it is good to have competition from Rene Gilmartin. His game is developing and improving all of the time and that is good to see.

"I can see no reason why we can't push for a place in the play-offs. In this League it is about who wants it more on any given day. We have a young team and hopefully we can get the consistency that we have maybe lacked in the early part of the season."
