Walsall Head Coach Sean O'Driscoll has spoken to club journalists ahead of Saturday afternoon's Sky Bet League 1 clash with Millwall, and has insisted that the Lions pose a real threat, but the Saddlers can take all three points of they continue to perform at a high level.
Speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, Sean said; “Any team that have come down from the Championship to League One will pose a real test. We spoke to them over Christmas when we played them and they said there was no pressure on them to go straight back up and they were still trying to come to terms with the division.
“But you look at their team and they’re as strong as anyone in this league. It wouldn’t surprise you if them, Wigan, Sheffield United and Coventry – all the bigger teams – become stronger as the season goes into its final phases because their squads are stronger than everyone else’s.
“This will be a really difficult game for us. But we’ve been consistent in our performances for a long time so I hope that barring injuries and a drastic loss in form, we can keep the performances going. Sometimes the results are in the lap of the gods but if we perform at the level we have performed at then we’ll give ourselves a chance in every game.”
