Jon Whitney delighted with his Walsall players
Boss Jon Whitney was full of praise for his players after watching his Walsall side secure a deserved victory over Plymouth.
A debut goal from Daniel Agyei as well as a stunning strike from Erhun Oztumer put the Saddlers into the ascendancy at the Banks’s Stadium.
Plymouth grabbed a late consolation when poor referring saw the visitors win a penalty after Luke Leahy was judged to have pushed Nathan Blissett.
But while Graham Carey emphatically converted the spot-kick, Walsall saw out the game convincingly for a deserved win.
“I felt quite confident right through it,” Whitney said.
“Plymouth are a useful team. They are very well-drilled, they have a threat, they put you under pressure but I don’t think Gilly (Mark Gillespie) had that much to do.
