SUPPORT US ON PATREON
Walsall Football Club right-back Ben Purkiss has spoken to the club's official website ahead of this weekend's Sky Bet League 1 clash with Port Vale, and has discussed the squad's determination to win and make it three league victories on the bounce.
Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk. Ben said; “We’re at home and on the back of a strong performance in our last game here, especially in the first half. We’ll go out there determined to get the win; there will be a decent crowd and a good atmosphere, so it’s one we’re looking forward to.
“Hopefully we can raise the tempo early on and give the fans something to shout about. Our last two games have seen us score early, so the hope is that we can do the same on Saturday.
“We’ve seen what back-to-back wins can do in this League. All of a sudden we are in touching distance of that leading pack, but we have to maintain that now and look to get three wins on the spin.
“We were very clinical early on in our last game; we made it difficult for ourselves in the second half, but we will learn from it."
