Walsall Football Club currently have two players out on loan, with goalkeeper Liam Roberts enjoying a second loan spell with Gresley, and central-defender Kyle Rowley continuing his football education with Sutton Coldfield Town.SHAW LANE AQUAFORCE 3 GRESLEY 0
Gresley were taught two lessons this afternoon. What a team can achieve if they work hard and take their chances and the other the harsh reality of the huge gulf in budgets available to the respective managers.
The latter became apparent very early on as big spending Shaw Lane took control of the game with the impressive Gavin Allott dictating terms. An early goal from skipper Matt Thornhill was added to late on in the first half by Allott and in the second half by Lee Morris.
The home side, who are yet to score at the Moat Ground in the league this season, found it difficult against a very well drilled side who seemed to have quality players in all positions on the pitch, but if a penalty had been put away within a couple of minutes of the second half starting things may have turned out differently.
Gresley manager had to make changes yet again to his side with the suspended goalkeeper Liam Roberts replaced by Ryan Swift. There was one more change with Martin Smyth replacing Joe Brothwell.
