Walsall’s triumph over Notts County with a 2-1 scoreline on Saturday exemplified the unwavering belief the players hold in Mat Sadler, as expressed by Oisin McEntee.
McEntee, who netted two goals at Meadow Lane, contributed to the Saddlers’ comeback, breaking a six-game winless streak in League Two.
Despite Sadler facing intense scrutiny in recent weeks due to challenges faced, McEntee emphasizes that the players must shoulder the responsibility. He remains optimistic that the team’s latest performance and victory will serve as a turning point.
McEntee commented, “Over the past few weeks, I don’t believe it’s the manager’s fault. We’ve let him down. As players, we haven’t maintained our standards at a high level. Today’s display reflects our strong belief in the manager. His tactics were exceptional on Saturday.”
Acknowledging the opponent’s proficiency on the ball, McEntee highlighted the team’s strategic approach in getting after them, leveraging their fitness advantage.
He emphasized the need to replicate such performances consistently, stating, “We executed that perfectly, but now we need to do that week in, week out.”
