Walsall Football Club record appearance holder Jimmy Walker has spoken to the local press about the current negotiations between the club and first-choice goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell, and has insisted that O'D will be difficult to replace.
Speaking to the Express & Star Wacka said; “I hope so because he has been excellent for them. 'Keepers like that are not easy to replace and he has been one of their best players. I know he is highly thought of by the fans. It is players like that you need to build the team around.
“As a player, you want to be at the highest level you can, so it is tough to blame the lad if someone else has come in. It is his decision to make.
“There is not a lot between the vast majority of teams. The top four have been by far and away the best teams and the two who didn’t go up automatically will contest the play-off final.
“With a good keeper and one or two other decent players you only need a bit of momentum to be right up there.”
