Following Tuesday evening's Capital One Cup victory over Sky Bet Championship outfit Nottingham Forest, Walsall's hat-trick hero Tom Bradshaw spoke to the local press and discussed the character of the Saddlers side as they rode the storm to secure victory during injury time.
Speaking to the Express & Star, Tom said; “When Romaine Sawyers scored to make it 3-1, I thought ‘if we’re sensible that could be game over’.
“When they got the third goal we thought it would be extra-time and penalties but once we got the penalty I knew where I was going to go and I knew it would be a goal. When you’re 3-1 up with a few minutes to go you should see the game out so their two goals were hard to take.

“But it just shows the character of the lads that even when we went to 3-3 in stoppage-time we still came back and scored the winner. The character at the club is amazing and I think we saw the passion from the players. It was evident for everyone it see.
“That’s my first career hat-trick so I’m over the moon. The ball is being signed and it will get framed.”
