Mat Sadler makes Walsall vow
Mat Sadler insists Walsall’s 6-2 drubbing against Fleetwood Town at Bescot will serve as a “learning experience”.
Walsall shipped six on home soil for the first time in over 20 years. Harry Williams and Jamille Matt gave Walsall the lead, but Ronan Coughlan and Kayden Hughes scored twice to complete the turnaround, before Matty Virtue and Mark Helm added to the scoreline late on.
Sadler said: “It’s an experience for some of those younger ones but they’re also young players who’ve done really well for us and will continue to do well for us.
“They’ll be fantastic players for this football club. Listen, I won’t be getting too carried away with a defeat but we want to learn from that.
“When those moments come up, we have to drive through them, remain resilient, together and positive.
“That’s the most important thing. We remain together after a poor second half and move forward again.”
