FROM THE DUGOUT
Darrell Clarke: "We have done a lot of work on the training ground, attack versus defence and 11 v 11s.
"We are working on different attacking patterns, working on build-up play from the back through the midfield.
"And also working on being direct at times, but when it’s the right time.
"If you look at some of the best teams in the world, they have been together and period of time and they build those relationships on the pitch.
"We need players to build those relations a little bit quicker than they have been."
Michael Jolley: “It was a good three points against Port Vale, and we want to try and keep our form going.
“We’ve lost one game out of six so far so we’re pleased about that.
“But every game is different, and Walsall are a tough opponent and we’re away from home, so it will be a difficult game."
PLAYED FOR BOTH
Former Walsall forward Jordan Cook will face his former club if selected on Saturday.
Cook has had two spells at Walsall. He joined on loan from Sunderland AFC back in 2011 until the end of that season and returned in 2014 where he scored nine goals over a two year spell before joining Luton Town.
