Match Preview
Boro could Chuks new signing straight in Stevenage could include new loan signing Chuks Aneke in their squad when Walsall visit the Lamex Stadium. Aneke joined Boro from Arsenal this week on a deal until January 22, 2012. He becomes the second teenage Gunner to sign for the club after forward Luke Freeman, who made his full debut in the goalless draw at Leyton Orient last weekend. Boss Graham Westley has been dealt an injury blow with the news that John Mousinho is likely to be out for around six weeks after damaging a bone in his foot. Mousinho suffered the injury during the FA Cup victory at League One rivals Hartlepool 13 days ago and missed out against the Os. Midfielders Stacy Long and Joel Byrom and forwards Chris Beardsley and Byron Harrison are among those players pushing for recalls. Andy Halliday is in contention to make his Walsall debut. The versatile winger, who can play on either side or even up front, arrived from Middlesbrough on loan until January just hours before the close of Thursday's loan window. His arrival followed Walsall's progression into the second round of the FA Cup courtesy of Wednesday's 3-2 extra-time triumph over Exeter. It remains to be seen whether manager Dean Smith will freshen up his starting XI following the demands of 120 midweek minutes, with the likes of Claude Gnakpa, Ryan Jarvis, Anton Peterlin and Jamie Paterson pushing to start. Twenty-year-old striker George Bowerman stepped off the bench to bag the 98-minute winner, his second senior goal in two games, but Smith is reluctant to use him from the off just yet. Defender Darryl Westlake (ankle) and midfielder Kevan Hurst (heel) continue to miss out.

Match Report
Walker to the rescue for Saddlers Goalkeeper Jimmy Walker was the Walsall hero as he twice denied Stevenage`s Luke Freeman to earn the struggling Saddlers a vital point in a 0-0 draw. Freeman, on-loan from Arsenal, was at the heart of Boro's dominance but failed to find a way past the equally impressive Walker in the Walsall goal. The 19-year-old striker let fly either side of the break and laid on chances for Chuks Aneke and Scott Laird, but the Saddlers stood firm to escape with a share of the spoils. Stevenage should have scored from their opening attack but Laird lashed Luke Freeman's corner over the bar, before Arsenal loanee Freeman's 12th-minute strike forced Walker into a fine save. Boro dominated the first half but, after fellow on-loan Gunner Aneke volleyed narrowly over, Adam Chambers almost punished their wastefulness when he pounced on a loose ball and Chris Day did well to save. Freeman won a free-kick which Michael Bostwick fired narrowly wide before the young striker again struck the palms of Walker, but it was Walsall who wasted the best chance to win it when Jon Macken blazed over from eight yards.
