Leyton Orient 0 Walsall 0

Walsall ground out a gritty stalemate at Leyton Orient to end their run of six straight defeats and claim their first clean sheet of the season.

But they were grateful to the woodwork in the second-half, after former Albion man Adam Chambers' deflected effort rebounded off the post.

Oliver Lancashire and Will Grigg had the Saddlers' best chances but were unable to find a goal.

Under-pressure manager Chris Hutchings named an unchanged line-up from Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Hartlepool.

After a slow start, Oliver Lancashire seized on a loose ball when Matt Richards' free-kick was only half cleared but his snap shot was beaten away by goalkeeper Jamie Jones.

Terrell Forbes glanced wide and Julian Gray's lob landed just over, as the teams traded half chances in an uninspiring game.

Neither side looked to have the ability to unlock the other, but Orient's bright start to the second-half put the Saddlers under pressure.

First Manny Smith's excellent block denied Scott McGleish and then goalkeeper Jonny Brain tipped over Alex Revell's header after 55 minutes.

Substitute Will Grigg, on for the ineffective Jon Macken, curled over before the woodwork came to the Saddlers' rescue on 67 minute

Dean Cox found Chambers, whose strike hit Lancashire and rebounded off the post with Brain beaten.

Grigg had impressed in his second-half cameo and was testing the Orient defence, but it was the hosts who almost claimed the winner when Forbes headed wide with five minutes left.
