Walsall - Tuesday 11/03/08

After a run of 5 home games propelled the Albion into play off contention, they made an important trip to fellow promotion contenders Walsall. McCarthy handed a Crocs debut to his fellow university student Alex Retter, as the Albion went looking for a result that could be the catalyst to an end of season day out at Wembley.
