The Verdict:  For the first time as a Saddlers fan, you get the feeling that we can go anywhere in the first division and get something out of a game.  Colin Lee has got the team and the fans believing that anything is possible. They go away from home and get amongst opposing teams. The foxes are having a good time on the field, it will be tough for the Saddlers.
PREDICTION: Foxes 1-1 Saddlers
