Walsall condemned Grimsby Town to a 6-1 defeat at Blundell Park on New Year's Day to climb into the top half, and to within three points of the League Two play-offs.

The Saddlers fell behind through Danny Rose's 29th-minute opener, but ultimately cruised to victory courtesy of Isaac Hutchinson's brace and goals from James-Taylor, Jack Earing, Priestley Farquharson and Danny Johnson.

Sadler's men have collected six wins from seven in all competitions, and five from six in the league.

They are also enjoying a run of three wins on the spin in League Two, and James-Taylor is delighted to see the hard work behind the scenes translate into strong performances and results on the pitch.

"I am very excited. Every single player is enjoying it. In the dressing room, every single player is coming in with a smile on their face," James-Taylor revealed.
