Saddlers V Sky Blues

By 4two
October 25 2002

The Saddlers will want to end a run of three games without a win at Highfield Road on Saturday. Walsall have been playing some great attacking football recently, and it is this style that has allowed the Saddlers to pick up points at places they wouldn't have dreamed of this time last season.

Last Meeting: 19/2/02 Coventry City 2-1 Walsall (Div 1)
Walsall Man to Watch: Junior, a chance to carry on where he left of  last week.
Coventry City Man to Watch: Ritchie Partridge, On Loan Kopite Midfielder.
The Verdict: The Optimist will say that Walsall have been unlucky not to have picked up 7 points rather than two points in the last three games.  The pessimist will say that its now three games without a win for the inconsistent Saddlers. Which ever way you look at it, the attacking play from the Saddlers has been scintillating at times, while defensively we have been a little ropey.  As long as we pick up points tomorrow the Saddlers faithful will be happy. It is picking up points at places like Pride Park, The Den and hopefully Highfield Road that secures a team first division status.
PREDICTION:  Coventry City 2 - 2 Walsall
