As Walsall prepare for this afternoon's Sky Bet League 1 clash with relegation threatened Oldham Athletic, Saddlers Interim Head Coach Jon Whitney has spoken to the local press, and has discussed his belief that the only pressure is the pressure the players and staff put on themselves.

Speaking via the Express & Star, Jon said; “For me, pressure and anxiety come when you are asked to do something you can’t do. We are fighting to win promotion and these are the moments in football you have to enjoy.

“We have got an eight-game mini season and we will go in each game to be attacking, to play with a good defensive shape and to win. It’s going to be enjoyable and we won’t ask the players to do anything they can’t do. We just tell them to get their work ethic right, to express themselves within our team ethos and to work for the team.

“If for one of them a game isn’t quite going right, they know if they keep working and keep going they will get a chance to put it right in the next game. The only pressure we have is the pressure we put on ourselves.”
