Yesterday afternoon Walsall played host to Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 'behind closed doors' pre season friendly, which ultimately ended three-two to the visitors, following the match Walsall manager Dean Smith spoke to the clubs' official website and was keen to focus on the positives.
Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk, Smith said; "We were able to try out three different formations, have a look at a few trialists and also try out players in various different positions. It was a terrific work-out for us and I am thankful to Wolves for providing the opposition.
"It was a competitive game with some good football from both teams. I'm pleased with where we're at fitness-wise and the two training games we've had over the past couple of weeks have certainly benefitted us.
"We're not far off where I want us to be; the Wolves game gave us plenty of positives and also saw us score two excellent goals."
