Walsall’s plans for Sunday have been thrown into some disarray by the postponement of the reserve game at Bradford.

Kevan Broadhurst’s plans to try and bring in a loan striker appear to have met with frustration so far, so the reserve clash had taken on far more importance than usual.

The manager has said “We’ve had no joy at all. We’re very, very, frustrated at the moment but that’s life. It’s one of those things in football, it’s not unusual and we’ll just get on with and work as hard as we can”.

He had, therefore, lined up Devlin, James, a recovered Constable and Mads Timm, also back from injury, to play at Bradford, to give him an indication of who should start at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday. Those plans having been dashed, it’s back to square one in the puzzle of who will start where exactly.
