Walsall Vice-Captain Paul Downing has spoken to the club's official website ahead of this weekend's Sky Bet League 1 clash with Coventry City, and has discussed the need for the squad to remain focussed and keen their run of good form going.
Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk, Paul said; “I was joking with my friend, who is coming to the game, that it’s a top-of-the-table clash. It’s a local derby this weekend, Coventry are a big club but we’re all looking forward to it.
“It’s going to be a good game and they’ve got some good players but confidence is flowing at the moment and we’ve got goals from all over. It should be an entertaining game.
“We’ll look to take the game to them and won’t be fearful of what they’ve got. They’ll have to be at their best to get anything from us.
“We’ve done really well away from home but on Saturday we’ll be looking to get that first win at home. We’ve got a lot of threats going forward, and we’re solid at the back, so it probably does suit us playing away from home.
“The games come so thick and fast, but we’ve really enjoyed some of the games and some of the football we’ve played. It’s nice to start the season with so many wins. It settles everyone down and we can really look forward to the upcoming games.
“We’ve got a good squad here and we won’t get carried away. The manager and staff will make sure we stay focused.”
