Walsall Football Club assistant manager/first-team coach Richard O'Kelly has spoken to the club's official website as he and the team continue their preparations for the 2015/16 Sky Bet League 1 campaign, and has discussed the club's particular brand of football, insisting that they can continue to be entertaining and win more matches.

Speaking to Saddlers.co.uk, Richard said; “I think there will be some games when, yes, we’ll play the same way and some games where we’ll have to change things.

“The philosophy we’ve installed into the players is to be constructive and entertaining. Of course we like to be pleasing on the eye but we’re well aware that we didn’t score enough goals last season.

“I think we’ll be more adventurous. We want to see the players trying things in the final third, having confidence in themselves and taking a chance.

“People talk about the physicality of the division but what is physicality? I think some people look at being physical as being brave and competing.

“Because of the nature of the beast, footballers are naturally competitive but we’re looking for them to compete intelligently. For me, one of the bravest things a player can do is to get on the ball and pass it.”
