Walsall man keen to add to his tally
Freddie Draper is looking to hit the goalscoring trail again after netting for the first time since October in Walsall’s 2-1 defeat at Accrington Stanley.
The teenager levelled from the spot before the break to extend his season tally to nine goals.
It was also his first since scoring a memorable hat-trick in the 3-3 draw at Newport. While he was disappointed to be struck by injury during such a rich vein of form, Draper is determined to get back to his best.
Draper said: “It was disappointing but it’s football. You’re going to get that and it’s another thing I’ve learnt from.
“I kind of expected to score again when I came back and it didn’t happen. But my performances, especially against Notts County, was one of my best games for Walsall.
“It’s one of those where I just need to keep performing and the goals will come.”
