Money can't buy goals at present

Walsall, who play Hereford United at Edgar Street next Saturday, are finding goals difficult to come by at present. They have only scored once in their last three goals.

However the Saddlers manager, Richard Money, does not appear to be worried about the situation.

"It's not a concern at all," he told the Walsall press. "We have scored 29 goals in the league.

"Teams go through periods where their end product is not what they would like. We are just having a little spell like that. The good thing is we are still able to pick up results - and that's important.

"No team is going to flow all season and keep producing chances and scoring lots of goals. It doesn't happen that way."

Although not scoring goals, the Walsall defensive record is impressive having only conceded eight goals in seventeen league matches.

One of their forwards, Martin Butler, has not scored in his last eight games.

"We still look really solid at the back and don't look like conceding. But in terms of creating chances we don't seem to be doing that too much at the moment. Hopefully, that will come back soon," said Butler.
