James Chambers urges caution for Walsall
Defender James Chambers today claimed Walsall are starting to show their true strength – but insists they aren't getting carried away by improving form.
Tuesday night's 1-0 win at Rochdale in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy was the Saddlers' third in six games and they have lost only once during that time.
It's a run they will be aiming to continue at Oldham on Saturday, but Chambers is keen to sound a note of caution.
He said: "We can only take one game at a time. Things can change both positively and negatively very quickly. At the moment, things are looking good.
"We had a good win on Tuesday and hopefully we can take that into our league form and get a good result."
The centre-back returned to the starting line-up in midweek after spending more than a month out with a hamstring injury.
Chambers is one of several Saddlers players who have returned from the treatment room in recent weeks and the 33-year-old believes that has contributed to the recent upturn in fortune.
"If you look at what we are doing now, with a fully fit squad and just one player out in Sam Mantom, I think it shows what we can do with a full squad," he added.
"Anyone who has been in football long enough knows you can go through a spell where you are struggling to put the ball in the back of the net.
"You hit the back of the net one game and suddenly you start scoring freely and getting clean sheets as well. It all bodes well, at the moment.
"The run we are on its important to keep playing the way we are and, when the games come, make sure we are ready and prepared right.
"Preparation off the field is just as important as off it."
