The Saddlers get going in the competition tomorrow as they go to King’s Lynn Town in the first round.

And centre-half Menayese, who is yet to have a major Cup foray in his career, wants to provide some excitement for the fans.

“It’d be great to have a run,” he said.

“You want to get a good draw and play against big sides.

“This is a competition that gives you that opportunity.

“Fingers crossed, this season can be the one where we go on a run and have some good nights at Bescot.

“If you can do that, it brings a real buzz around the town and around the club.

“It can give you a lot of confidence and something to look forward to. It’s massive for everyone.”

Walsall fell at the first hurdle last season and standing in their way this time are a King’s Lynn side who have struggled so far in the National League.

Menayese, though, knows they will have to be on their mettle.

He added: “We’ve got to be at it.

“We’re all looking forward to putting in a good performance and, hopefully, the result should take care of itself if we do.”
