Walsall manager Jon Whitney has spoken to the local press ahead of Saturday afternoon's Checkatrade Trophy - Second Round clash with Bury and praised his side for their recent upturn in form, admitting that it was time to put words into action.
Jon, who was speaking via the Express & Star, said; "I think all you can do with a young group is learn, be accountable and hold yours hands up and admit when you need to improve. We’ve had enough words. We had to start putting a bit of action into it. I think our last four performances have backed up what we are as a club.
"We have had some excellent performances from some of our young lads who have come through the academy. The lads who are experienced have shown their quality. It’s been a real team effort. I think we have to give all the lads a lot of credit."
