Zaaboub delighted by fresh start

The Frenchman arrived at the Banks's Stadium last summer and started the first four games of the season before enduring a series of substitute appearances and reserve-team outings. He had still not been handed another league start when Mullen was sacked on January 10.[LNB]However, new boss Hutchings has put his faith in the 26-year-old, starting him in all six games since he has been at the helm - and Zaaboub has repaid the Saddlers with a series of impressive displays, couple with a few assists along the way.[LNB]"You are always happy when you have got the full confidence of the manager and you are always trying hard to help him and your team-mates," Zaaboub told the Birmingham Mail.[LNB]"Things were not very good for me under the previous manager. Training is all very well but it is all about playing games. I wasn't much involved for ages, I don't really know why, and that was hard.[LNB]"But then there was a change and I got my chance again and I have really enjoyed coming back in. I feel fit and after quite a long time without playing in the first team the more I play the stronger I will get. I am very happy to get my chance and, with every game, more confidence comes."[LNB][LNB]
