Rory Holden has been back on the grass for a few weeks and, when fit to feature, the attacking midfielder could be a game-changer for the Saddlers. Callum Rowe and Colin Daniel are absent, while defender Alex Hartridge plus striker Sam Nombe have missed out through injury. Jack Sparkes had been a long-term absentee, but returned for a cameo against Scunthorpe.
Walsall are without the suspended Manny Monthe while Ash Taylor has headed north of the border, meaning young Tom Leak partnered Rollin Menayese in central defence in the 2-0 loss at Mansfield. Leak looked physically fragile, so one would presume the Saddlers will be in the market for a centre-back prior to Saturday's game. Talking of centre-backs, Pierce Sweeney impressed for Exeter City in last week's 2-0 victory over Scunthorpe. Sweeney so often looks for the progressive pass, playing some crisp, first-time passes down the line, as well as putting in a peach of a cross in the build-up to Offrande Zanzala's debut goal. Zanzala has been somewhat profligate this season at Barrow, so his relief was palpable after tucking his big chance away, although the tap-in was a somewhat less impressive finish than the eye-catching curler from Jevani Brown. 1:2
