Harrogate v Walsall - George Bennett preview

Transcript

00:00Good afternoon Sadler's fans, I was at Essington earlier today where I spoke to Matt Sadler

00:07ahead of Walsall's trip to Wetherby Road to face Harrogate Town on Saturday and the Walsall

00:13boss confirmed that George Hall will be out for the next six to eight weeks with a hamstring

00:21injury so he has returned to his parent club Birmingham City to continue his road to recovery

00:28before returning to Walsall once he has recovered. So a major blow for Walsall, a major blow

00:34for George Hall whose promising early career has been somewhat derailed by a series of

00:42hamstring injuries over the last 18 months. He had made three consecutive starts for Walsall

00:47in the league and really looked to be getting back to the player that we all know he can

00:51be but unfortunately it's another setback for him. Meanwhile Brandon Connolly, he went

00:58to have a protective mask fitted today, unlikely to be involved on the weekend but he could

01:07at least be in contention Matt Sadler said over the Christmas period. So not long expected

01:14now on Brandon Connolly, obviously Josh Gordon's targeting a return mid-January and previously

01:21Farquharson recently had another setback and isn't expected back till March. Ronan

01:25Mayer has also had an injury during his loan spout at Tamworth, not a great deal in terms

01:32of what that may mean for him in terms of a time frame. On the game itself, Walsall

01:39guaranteed top spot in the league for Christmas for the first time since 2006. We all know

01:46how that season ended for Walsall but Matt Sadler won't be getting carried away but it's

01:5010 matches unbeaten for Walsall in the league, looking for a third straight victory and a

01:56third win on the spin on the road. So Walsall against Harrogate who are on a three match

02:06losing streak on Saturday, can they sign off for Christmas in style?
