Byfield backing Brain
Walsall skipper Darren Byfield has thrown his support behind goalkeeper Jonny Brain after his errors handed Rochdale a 3-2 victory on Saturday.
The Saddlers stopper first fumbled Brian Barry-Murphy's corner into the path of Josh Thompson who was on hand to level matters for the hosts at 1-1.
And he was again at fault just before half-time, spilling Chris O'Grady's shot before Anthony Elding sent the ball over the line to make it 2-1.
But Byfield has handed Brain a public vote of confidence, telling the club`s official website: "I feel sorry for Brainy. I said to him at half-time and after the game that he's saved us so many times this season and he`s going to do that again.
"He let the goals in but he`s just got to keep going. He'll bounce back. The position he plays in, if you make a mistake you`re going to get hammered for it.
"Last weekend I missed three chances but that's the end of it, people don't go on about it, while Jonny's going to get a bit of stick. But he's been around a while, he's not a young keeper so he'll bounce back."
