Taylor Allen: Friendly Walsall rivalry helps Saddlers
Walsall’s Taylor Allen believes his competition with Liam Gordon has been beneficial for his game.
Allen, who penned a new one-year deal with the option of a further year last week, played 29 times in all competitions during his debut campaign at Bescot.
He featured regularly during the first half of the season, but saw his game-time significantly reduced at the turn of the year,
Despite Gordon being his main competitor for a place in the side, Allen has revealed the pair are very supportive of each other.
Allen said to Walsall FC YouTube: “Me and Liam are good friends. Although we play the same position, we help each other.
“It’s not a bitter thing when he’s playing and I’m not. It was the same every game. If I was playing, Liam was helping me, and if he was playing I was helping him.
“That’s the kind of relationship that we’ve got and I hope that the competition continues.”
