After enjoying an unbeaten October, during which they were able to edge away from the League Two relegation zone, the Saddlers opened the month of November with an Emirates FA Cup - First Round clash with National League strugglers King's Lynn Town,
The Saddlers were the brighter of the two sides and went on to take the lead after fifteen minutes of play as Brendan Kiernan netted hiss second goal of the season to put his side on track for a place in the Second Round.
