Saddlers skipper eyes play-offs

The Saddlers have looked a different proposition under the guidance of Chris Hutchings and Martin O'Connor - losing just one of their last six games.The New Year period was seen as make or break for the West Midlands outfit and, after murmurs of a possible relegation battle, the club are firmly heading in the right direction with 42 points left to play for.And although Hughes remains realistic, he has not lost all hope of being in the running come May. He told the Birmingham Mail: "We are on a little run now and are feeling positive."But it was only the week before last that the press were asking me about a relegation battle. Fingers crossed, we can climb away from that and maybe we could just sneak into the play-off race. You never know."It is all about going on little runs and we are unbeaten in four. There is a real never-say-die attitude among the lads. We have a very small squad but a good blend of young and old and are really together."
