Introducing the visitors - WYCOMBE WANDERERS

Last updated : 13 October 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Wycombe arrive into town not only looking to become the first team to score at Bescot in the league this season, but also to the first to disrupt our 100% home record. With two strikers full of goals Walsall will be facing our toughest league test of the season. Nine goal Jermaine Easter is paired up front with Tommy Mooney in a strikeforce to strike fear into any League Two defence.

Walsall Manager Richard Money is celebrating his birthday today and the Walsall team will be looking to give him the belated present of 3 points to extend his birthday cheer.
