PRE-MATCH NEWS & VIEWS
The Saddlers will reach Tuesday's clash with Barrow on the back of an annoying draw with Stevenage and a match which saw the visitors level the scores some ten minutes into second-half stoppage time.
After taking the lead via Danny Johnson's fifth goal in all competitions, the Saddlers failed to take any more of their goal-scoring opportunities before Steve Evans' side took advantage of some tired Saddlers legs to take a welcome point.
Although the result means the Reds stayed unbeaten so far this season, it still comes with a healthy measure of frustration as the win was there for the taking, was it not for some sloppy defending and referee Charles Breakspear's seemingly broken timepiece.
Opponents Barrow also arrive at the match fresh off a disappointing result as they lost their unbeaten record at the hands of Sutton United, Barrow seeing a goal of their own disallowed as the Amber and Chocolates grabbed their first win of the campaign.
CLUB COLOURS
The Saddlers will be playing in their all-black third kit for Tuesday's trip North, whilst the hosts will unsurprisingly be in their home strip.
