The Wanderers captain, who played under Saddlers boss Richard Money as a Youth Teamer with Aston Villa, reckons the more difficult the game, the better the Blues will perform following Saturday's calamity at Plainmoor.
"After losing at Torquay, it might be the sort of game we need," he told thefa.com in this weeks column.
"All the players know Walsall are going for the title so we will have to be up for the game. I'd rather be playing them than someone else. They have done really well this season and, more than any other team, base their strategy on their defence.
They have an excellent defensive record - the best in the league - and win a lot of games 1-0. If we can keep a clean sheet then we have a real chance. In the majority of games we have scored first we have gone on to win.
We had a difficult game up there earlier in the season. They scored then shut up shop before getting a second as we were chasing the game."
