Walsall's FA Cup replay justice for Dean Smith

Both the Saddlers and the Shrews will be in the hat for the second round courtesy of Tom Bradshaw's 90th minute equaliser at the Banks's Stadium which saw the first round clash finish in a 2-2 draw.

And Smith felt it was the least his side deserved, saying: "I think if we had not been in the draw for the second round it would have been a travesty.

"They scored a fortunate goal, where it has bounced off Adam's knee when we were defending a corner and it has fallen to their lad.

"After that we took control of the game and got our full-backs out which is what we had spoken about during the week.

"The only thing which let us down in the first half was our final ball, either the cross or the timing of the final balls into the box.

"But they changed their system at half-time which shows how in control of the game we were.

"We got a good goal back, a good finish from Tom, I was pleased for him.

"Then they were given a chance to get a goal which they have scored from via a deflection and we have managed to get a deflection at the end."

Mark Ellis had put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute but Bradshaw levelled in the second half.

James Collins looked to have won it for Town when he deflected home Andy Mangan's hotly-disputed free-kick.

But Bradshaw have the final say, directing Paul Downing's shot past substitute keeper Mark Halstead via his knee.

"They started quick," added Smith. "We were a bit lackadaisical on the ball in the first five minutes if I am honest. I thought it was a debateable free-kick which led to the corner from which they scored from.

"It was one of those which hit him on the knee and then drops to Ellis and he puts it in. The response to that was really good.

"Overall I was pleased with the performance and we controlled large parts of the game.

"I know they are a League Two side but they are a League Two side who are doing well – at times I thought their looked a gulf."
