'Refocus' - Mat Sadler on Walsall's last-gasp defeat against Oldham Athletic

Daniel Kanu equalised five minutes after the restart with a moment of brilliance to move on to double figures for goals in League Two. 

Jamille Matt slotted the ball into his path and the Walsall frontman rifled a thunderous shot past Matt Hudson at his near post. 

Courtney Clarke hit the woodwork twice directly from corners, but Kian Harratt condemned Walsall to a first defeat in seven with his match-winner in the final seconds.

'Today was a battle of set plays' 

"Credit to them, they came to be really hard to beat and the opposition worked their socks off, which is something we're going to face," boss Sadler said. 

"We're a team in the division where it's a tough place to go for opposition teams and they come to try their absolute best against us. 

"That's how it is. Today was a battle of set plays that they came out on top of and other days will be different.

"In the end, they get that moment at the end where you just wanted to see that final bit of the game out. 

"The thing that we're usually strong at [defending set pieces], we're now going to have to refocus and get back to that."  

Farquharson 'should be OK'

Priestley Farquharson was recalled as one of two changes, but saw his evening draw to an early conclusion after sustaining an eye injury. 

The defender had a nasty clash of heads with Oldham goal scorer Garner and was replaced by Rico Browne, as he left the pitch with a towel over his eye. 

"I would think so [that he will be OK for Cambridge] but I'm not 100 per cent sure on that," he revealed. 

"I'm saying that purely speculatively. We'll have to have a look at that and see how it settles down. 

"So I don't know the answer to that just yet. He had a bang to the head and came out with a cut above his eye. 

"He had to have a load of stitches, but he'll be fine, it's just a cut." 

Walsall 'a bit fortunate' with Roberts challenge

Oldham boss Micky Mellon felt his side were denied two "stonewall penalties" for a pair of challenges on Kane Drummond. 

Myles Roberts emerged off his line to stop his run its tracks and the Latics striker went down under another challenge from Evan Weir shortly after. 

Sadler admitted that Walsall perhaps got a tad fortunate in relation to the challenge from Roberts.

"The incidents last week [against Crewe] I completely dismissed them, but we're a little bit fortunate tonight," he added.

"The one with Myles on the edge of the box, I thought we maybe got away with one there. 

"I'll have to see it again but that was my view of it."
