Walsall manager Dean Smith has spoken to the press ahead of Sunday's season-ending clash with Bristol City, and has discussed the Saddlers' chances of making the play-off places, insisting that the gap can be bridged.
Speaking to the Express & Star, Smith said; “Sixty-eight points might get you in the play-offs this year. We are only nine points off that and it is not a massive jump to claim those nine points after the start we had.
“Drawing against Port Vale, drawing against Bradford and losing to Yeovil, it was a real tough start to the season. We didn’t have many points, then we started picking up.”
