00:00but they've decided not to request a postponement. Just talk to us a little bit about that and what
00:06has been said to you about it and what you kind of make of it really because
00:10it seems in a way with the form as it is at the moment it could potentially be a bit of a gamble.
00:16It's definitely a gamble and I feel like if they go and lose on Saturday then questions
00:21will be asked. I was quite surprised, I probably expected it to be called off. I think last season
00:26Caden Bennett got a senior call up and was part of the academy, never played for the first team
00:32and was also still able to request a postponement last season. Obviously with five players within
00:42the current squad called up you would definitely expect it to be called off and deprived of those
00:48options. Darius Lipzig hasn't been involved in a matchday squad yet, even Wheatley hasn't played
00:57a single minute since the first of February. So in those cases they're not necessarily players
01:03that Sadler probably would have called upon anyway. But then you've got Tommy Simpkin,
01:09David DiCaprio, Liam Gordon, all of which have been ever-present. So there's three
01:15sort of regular players there that Walsall will be deprived of on the weekend. If it was to go
01:21wrong on Saturday then clearly questions will be asked. But then at the same time they sort
01:29of take that break, it maybe allows others to sort of close that gap.
