PRE-MATCH VIEWS
After securing ten points from a possible fifteen, the Saddlers arrive at this weekend's clash with Barrow in search of more much-needed points and a continuation of the form which has allowed them to move away from the relegation zone.

Under Michael Flynn, the Saddlers have begun to show the level of form required to compete with the teams currently battling for promotion, giving fans something to get behind as they look ahead to the future.

Opponents Barrow currently sit just one place above the relegation zone and will arrive at the match on the back of a narrow defeat to Bristol Rovers, a result which saw them extend their winless run to five league games.
