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
