Here's our latest look at how the loaned-out Saddlers are getting on during their time away from WS1.
Bescot Banter - Walsall FC News
There are a handful of Saddlers currently out on loan, with players from the academy and first-team plying their trade elsewhere.

Defender Stan Straw started and played for the full ninety-minutes as Redditch United took on Berkhamsted at the Valley Stadium as the sides clashed in the Third Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
 
Sadly for Stan and Redditch it would be the end of their journey in the world's oldest domestic cup competition as goals from Ryan Blake and Luke Andrews.
 
Midfielder Ronan Maher started as Wealdstone made their way to Cumbria and the SO Legal Stadium as they took on Barrow in the National League.

Falling behind to Rekeem Harper's well-taken goal with twenty-three minutes played, the Stones were dragged back on to level terms just two minutes later when Maher opened his account for the season.

Reaching the break on level terms, Barrow had a golden opportunity to go back into the lead as they were awarded a penalty, but Alex Reid saw an effort saved by Dante Baptiste.

Ronan played for 78 minutes before being replaced by Carmichael Uchenna in attack, and was unable to prevent what ultimately saw the Stones return home empty-handed.

With four minutes of second-half stoppage time played, the Bluebirds went into the lead when Keaton Ward struck the ball home from close range.
 
Young academy striker Lincoln Hunt joined Midland League Premier Division side Sutton United on loan on Saturday morning and was swiftly name on the team sheet for their clash with Wythenshawe Town.
 
The match itself was a successful one for Sutton as Matthew Bishop's early header was cancelled out by a Wythenshawe leveller, before Bishop struck again to put his side back into the lead. Ben George sealed the lead and ultimately the win with a goal on the stroke of half-time.
 
Lincoln was introduced to the action with just under twenty minutes of the second-half remaining as he begins his latest spell out on loan.
 
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Jenson Kilroy's most recent outing came in midweek as his Malvern Town side took on Bath City in the Southern League Premier South.
 
Despite taking the lead via Joe Tumelty's third-minute penalty, Malvern were ultimately left empty handed at full time as second half goals from Matt Bowman and Enzio Boldewijn saw Bath secure the win.
