Saddlers star wary of cup upset

04 November 2009 15:11
Saddlers season-ticket holders began queuing as early as 6.00am last Saturday morning to get their hands on a ticket for the eagerly-anticipated fixture, with the club's allocation of 490 selling out almost immediately.[LNB]The encounter promises to be one of the ties of the round with just 15 miles separating the two sides. But with their respective fortunes split by 95 places in the football ladder, Weston is hoping Walsall don't find themselves making back-page news come Sunday morning.[LNB]"On paper, without being disrespectful, it should be a banker for us," said the defender. "But I've played enough football and the boys know well enough that it's not always the case.[LNB]"Going to their ground especially, it's going to be very, very hostile, and very tough. But that's the beauty of the FA Cup, it gives teams the opportunity to pit themselves against full-time professional opposition.[LNB]"It's a local derby of sorts as well, so it's going to be hotly-contested and we can't afford to take it for granted. We don't want to be the one to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons."[LNB][LNB]
