The teenage duo were a shock inclusion in the Saddlers squad that travelled to take on Bradford on Saturday.

But while supporters were surprised to see the two scholars named among the substitutes, Edwards believes the youngsters deserved their place.

"It's a credit to both of them that they were both in the squad for Bradford," he said. "They have trained a few times with us and really impressed us.

"The lads have been talking about them after training and saying how well they have done.

"They are both really well grounded lads and they were not fazed by going to Bradford.
