Walsall’s recent changes under Mat Sadler have proven beneficial for midfielder Brandon Comley and the team as a whole. Comley acknowledged that adapting to Sadler’s style of play took some time, but the implemented changes are now yielding positive results.
Since the beginning of December, Walsall has secured 15 points out of a possible 21 in League Two, marked by five wins in seven games. Notable victories include a comeback against Notts County, consecutive wins over Crewe Alexandra and Wrexham at Bescot, and a dominating 6-1 triumph over Grimsby Town on New Year’s Day.
Despite a setback with a 3-1 defeat at Stockport, Sadler has effectively guided Walsall to a stronger position, steering them away from challenging situations. Comley emphasized the gradual nature of the team’s improvement, attributing it to the time required for players to adjust to the altered playing style.
According to Comley, the hard work Sadler has invested in the team is now evident, creating a well-coordinated and efficient playing unit. The midfielder emphasized the team’s understanding of Sadler’s expectations and how it has contributed to their recent success.
Comley, who has become a vital component in the team’s system, plays a selfless role in the number six position, providing a foundation for his teammates to showcase their abilities. Despite the possibility of his contributions going unnoticed, Comley is focused on the team’s overall success, expressing satisfaction with his current role.
While acknowledging the competition within the team, Comley remains level-headed about his recent form, emphasizing the team’s collective effort. He highlighted the importance of covering for teammates and enabling them to display their best performances.
Looking ahead, Comley is optimistic about the team’s direction, anticipating further improvement with the return of injured players adding new dimensions to their gameplay.
