The 2022-23 campaign for Walsall was a season of transition and goal-scoring heroics for The Saddlers, who finished 16th in League Two. The year was defined by the stunning initial loan spell of striker Danny Johnson, whose 12 league goals proved vital, including a memorable debut hat-trick against Hartlepool United on the opening day. Amid a mid-season managerial change and a respectable run to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, the club navigated a turbulent but ultimately safe campaign, marking a new chapter under the Trivela Group ownership.
