Despite Walsall's recent struggles with six draws and four losses in their last 10 games, manager Mat Sadler remains optimistic about the team's promotion chances in League Two. The team has slipped from the top spot to third place but still has a shot at automatic promotion if they can turn around their form in the remaining matches.

Sadler emphasized the need for a fresh start and determination to secure promotion, acknowledging that their fate is within their control. The upcoming fixtures against lower-ranked teams provide an opportunity for Walsall to bounce back and secure vital wins. Despite setbacks, Sadler highlights the importance of regaining focus and sticking to their hard-working style of play to achieve their promotion goal.

With a seven-point lead over eighth-placed Colchester United, Walsall is in a relatively secure position for at least a playoff spot. The team's upcoming matches against struggling opponents offer a chance for redemption and a final push towards securing promotion at the end of the season.
