The Saddlers are facing a keeper crisis following Jim Walkers's sending off against Millwall.

The Saddlers are facing a goalkeeping crisis following Jimmy Walkers sending off at Millwall on Saturday.

Whaka could be missing for anything up to 3 games,  and it seems as though there is no back up.

The Sports Argus today revealed that Aaron Kerr could well be out for the rest of the season if his X Rays don't come back clear this week. The best case scenario with Kerr is that he is back within the next couple of weeks - too late for Jimmy's suspension. 

What makes matters worse for Kerr is that he had been playing on a fracture for eight months before injuring himself in training.

On loan keeper Shaun Allaway's loan ends this month, and depending on when Jim's suspension comes through, we could be left high and dry. 

The chance of getting an experianced keeper on loan to cover Jim are slim. Allaway is only a rookie himself and some fans may have reservations about him, or another rookie keeper stepping in to Jim's boot.

The article on Kerr in the Sports Argus does go on to say that Lee has "something up his sleeve". We can only wait and see.
