Walsall Football Club coach Dean Holden, who is part of the team that looks after the 18-21 year-olds, has today backed manager Dean Smith and first-team coach Richard O'Kelly to build a squad capable of pushing for promotion...
Speaking to the
Express & Star, Holden said: “We have lost quality, there is no getting away from that. But you have to trust in the gaffer and Richard O’Kelly.
“They have put together a couple of teams in the past couple of years which have gone close. They will be looking at where we missed out and trying to improve it.
“We missed out last year and it seemed like a damp squib. But for a long time we were well in there and it is a very fine line between where we finished up and getting to that play-off final.
“That is the excitement for next year, to put that right.”
