Walsall interim boss Mat Sadler praises right hand man Richard O'Kelly
Walsall caretaker boss Mat Sadler has admitted Richard O’Kelly’s help has been invaluable in the early days of the job.
Sadler and O’Kelly changed the shape of the team after the first 15 minutes of the Salford game when the visitors were threatening a second goal.
They brought Oisin McEntee forward from defence to the base of midfield and things improved from there.
Sadler said: “The beauty of why I wanted Richard next to me is that I could speak to him about things like that on the training ground and during the match. “I have had a lot to deal with in the last few days and it was great to be able to call Richard to help out.
“Oisin slotted in really well after the opening minutes - the last thing I wanted was to have to make substitutions early on and the plan, which we discussed on Friday, was carried out instead.”
