00:00Good afternoon Sadler's fans, I'm at Essenton where I've just spoke to Matt Sadler ahead
00:04of Walsall's trip to the WAM Stadium to face Accrington Stanley on Saturday. And Walsall
00:10are riding high in League 2 and back-to-back league wins against Grimsby and Carlisle United,
00:16that 3-1 success over the Cumbrian outfit has propelled them into second spot and to
00:22within two points of the summit with a game in hand over Port Vale. Accrington, they were
00:29on a run of three consecutive wins prior to their mid-week defeat against MK Dons,
00:35but Walsall have lost their last three visits to the WAM Stadium. In terms of what Matt
00:40Sadler said, there was actually very little in terms of injury news, obviously Priestley
00:46Farquharson and Josh Gordon are both long-term issues. I did clear up the Dylan Thomas situation,
00:53he has come back from his loan spell at Bronze Grove Sporting because of a dislocated shoulder.
00:58Sadler was unable to definitely confirm, but he suggested it could be around six weeks
01:03recovery time for him. Elsewhere, he talked about the positive start and how it is only
01:12just a start. Matt Sadler definitely not willing to rest on his laurels and said the last win
01:18doesn't owe you the next. So basically, as expected from Matt Sadler, a level-headed
01:25approach and just looking now to try and maintain what has been a really positive start
01:30to the season for Walsall.
