Jamille Matt is captain and they probably don't need two big guys up front to play on breaks.
I was quite impressed by them, but not many teams are flexible. I would try to suck them forward and risk them having more possession and messing up in front of their own fans.
I read Tooley's Take on the match and thought there must have been a different game live on Sky! I usually quite like him, but that really wasn't a true picture. He makes it sounds as though they cheated their way to victory. Given more time they might have won 0-3. We never got them out of their comfort zone after Colclough's opening salvo. I'd like to think Olakigbe and Colclough might rip them apart with pace and skill, but I was astounded by Olakigbe's performance. It reminded me of my schooldays watching Neil Warnock or Tony Moore out wide for us. Olakigbe has the ability to take Walsall apart, but I doubt I'd have the guts to select him. I certainly would have the guts to drop Fleck though, not worth a place on the stands or even on the coach!
