Clayton McDonald today insisted there is no need to panic over Walsall’s leaky defence.

Boss Chris Hutchings has challenged defensive duo Manny Smith and Clayton McDonald to go the extra mile and become Walsall legends. The Saddlers are sweating on eight players who are yet to commit their futures and the pair will form the cornerstone of the squad next season.
They are the only centre backs contracted to the club for 2010-11 and as the wait continues on captain Mark Hughes to sign, Hutchings believes the duo must find their inner desire to succeed…

Walsall defender Clayton McDonald has tipped the team to shine next season because they have proved they can mix it with the best. The Saddlers sit 12th in League One but are eyeing 10th spot – a place occupied by Milton Keynes Dons who visit the Banks’s Stadium on the last day of the season.
They have taken points off all of the top six this season and McDonald believes it confirms the squad’s ability.

But McDonald does not see it that way…

Walsall were today facing a mounting selection crisis with four key men set to be sidelined by injury or suspension.
Clayton McDonald’s red card in last night’s 3-0 defeat at Southend will net the defender a three match ban – a suspension skipper Mark Hughes is already serving after his dismissal against Colchester on Saturday. Matt Richards limped out at Roots Hall with an ankle injury while Dwayne Mattis is also a massive doubt for the weekend’s trip to Exeter with a reoccurrence of his Achilles problem…

Goal hero Clayton McDonald today urged Walsall to forget about their historic victory at Leeds and labelled it as just another game. The Saddlers claimed a 2-1 win at Elland Road last night – their first ever – to end Leeds’ unbeaten home league record which stretched back to January 2009…
