Direct from the Fat Controller at Plainmoor.

This has been a stroll in the afternoon sunshine for the Saddlers so far today. Torquay have had plenty of possession, but haven’t looked like breaking Walsall down once, while the boys took two of the three chances presented to them in the first half.

First Kris Taylor, restored to left back, produced a good cross to the far post, where Trevor Benjamin was on hand to nod home his first goal for the club after ten minutes.

Not long afterwards, Benjamin was put through, only to be blatantly pulled back for a nailed on penalty, which Dean Keates duly tucked away.

Late on in the half, Darren Wrack missed a chance he should really have put away. 3 - 0 and it would have been all over. 2 - 0 and it probably is.

Meanwhile, the Franchise are losing at home, Swindon are only drawing and Hartlepool are losing away.
