Walsall's Interim Head Coach Jon Whitney has spoken to club journalists following Saturday afternoon's League 1 victory over Chesterfield, and has praised his side as they got back to winning ways.
Speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, Jon said; "We’ve all said a lot of things this week - me more than most trying to build some momentum with the fans and players. I’ve tried to get the players to relax, to enjoy playing football again. The effort they put in today was fantastic. The fans too they had their part to play and their percentage really helped us, so we want to do that again and keep that momentum building.
"When we’ve gone on a run of games, it’s been because of the momentum and the tempo that we play at and the belief that the players have got. I told the players, just stop and look at each other. Look at the player you’ve got next to you. What a hell of a player. Look at the technical ability in him, look at the guile and resilience in Rico Henry. Look at the experience we’ve got in Jim O’Connor and Adam Chambers.
"Then you’ve got Jordy Hiwula coming in on loan with his energy. They are fantastic ingredients for success. It’s not always guaranteed but if you give me a performance, that’s all we can ask for.”
