Mat Sadler hails Walsall's second half response in their draw at Crawley Town
Mat Sadler was pleased with the response Walsall showed to come from behind and salvage a point against Crawley Town at the Broadfield Stadium.
Myles Roberts denied Harry McKirdy from the spot inside the first five minutes, after Aaron Pressley had had an effort from distance tipped on to the crossbar.
Crawley did get their noses in front just past the half-hour mark when Ryan Loft rose unmarked to cushion his header into the bottom corner from McKirdy's cross.
But Walsall recovered from a subpar first half display to get themselves back into the game after the break, with Connor Barrett chopping inside to equalise eight minutes after the restart.
"The problems we had to work out were less tactical, and more physical," Sadler said.
"We weren't quite at it, which was unfortunate, but my main reflections straightaway is that we're 12 games into a new team here.
