The Saddlers moved up to second in League One after Cook netted twice, following his introduction as a second-half substitute.
But as well as the striker, O'Driscoll will also take his share of the plaudits after switching the Saddlers to an unfamiliar 4-4-2 formation following a lacklustre first half.
In a game where chances proved to be few and far between for both sides, that proved to be the catalyst to see Walsall earn a crucial three points.
O'Driscoll confirmed at his unveiling on Friday that he would be leaving team selection down to coaches Jon Whitney, John Ward and Neil Cutler, who were in caretaker charge.
