Walsall manager Jon Whitney has spoken to the local press ahead of Tuesday's League One clash with Port Vale and has revealed that on-loan Scunthorpe United defender Scott Laird will not feature in the final two games of the season as the manager wishes to feature more of the club's youth prospects on the bench.
Speaking via the Express & Star, Jon said; "I spoke to Scott on Friday and told him he won’t be involved in the remaining games. I’m going to try and get some of my kids on the bench. I wanted to get Kory Roberts on the bench instead of Lairdy for the Coventry game. Lairdy is fine with that. He isn’t my player and they are the decisions I have got to make."
