Saddlers fans will be waiting anxiously this morning for news about reserve striker James Constable.

It was the first outing of the season for the reserves last night, as they ran out comfortable 4 - 1 victors over Port Vale, with a brace apiece from Scott Dann and James Constable.

The main talking point, hoever, has to be an injury to Constable. He was eventually stretchered off after a heavy tackle and the club have not, as yet, made any announcement as to the extent of his injury.

With Richard Money already considering us to be light up front and with Nicholls still a month or more away from fitness, this might make the signing of another striker imperative.

On the brighter side, one of the two trialists, ‘keeper Manuel Esteves, looked very competant.
