Beaglehole Applauds Cain Ahead Of Wembley Visit

It is a remarkable achievement on many levels. While Cain will aim to make his maiden appearance at the famous stadium, it will be Walsall’s first-ever trip to Wembley in their 127-year history.
Cain has been on loan at the Saddlers since October and has made 29 appearances for Dean Smith’s side this season, scoring in three of those games.
And the 20-year-old’s performances have made a significant impact on the West Midlands outfit’s 2014/15 domestic campaign, helping them move six points clear of the League 1 drop-zone.
Cain has risen through the ranks at Leicester City under the stewardship of Under-21s manager Steve Beaglehole, who was quick to note the swift development of the midfielder.
Beaglehole told Foxes Player: “Michael has done exceptionally well to play in League 1 consistently. Walsall’s performances have improved – they’ve had a great run of results with him in the team.
“They’ve got to the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Final, which is a great achievement. Again, it’s the experience that Michael is going to get from that. He’s enjoyed it there and he’s grown in stature.
"He’s proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s capable of playing in League 1. You would expect him to be playing at least in the Championship with the performances he’s had this year as a young player in League 1.
“There’s no substitute for league football. What you’ve got in the lower leagues are players that are desperate to win. There’s pressure on them to win games. Michael Cain has seen that. It’s good for him. Winning is a must at level and we try and teach the Under-21s that.”
