Walsall Football Club Head of Youth Neil Woods has spoken to the club's official website following Tuesday afternoon's Football League Youth Alliance (North West) clash between the Saddlers, and Shrewsbury Town.
Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk, Neil, whose side win the game by two-goals-to-one, said; “Both sides had particularly young sides out. We started the game brightly and had good control as we played some neat football.
"Our hosts were able to get themselves into it as the half went on and they got stronger before taking the lead.

"It became a bit scrappy for a period and so we changed a few things around at the start of the second half and, credit to the lads, they displayed an improved attitude and commitment to the task in hand to grab a couple of goals.
"We deserved the lead and started playing some good football again in the closing stages as we ran out 2-1 winners.
"It was nice to get a glimpse of some of the new intake for next season and also end our League matches on a winning note."
