Suddenly, the ball was in the net. It was a position no goalkeeper wants to find themselves in, but a situation that every goalkeeper will inevitably experience at some stage in their career. 

Fortunately, Walsall still emerged 2-1 victors at Barnet, and his misjudgement was merely a footnote in the game, but Roberts has showcased his powers of recovery ever since. 

"It's the life of a goalkeeper," Sadler said afterwards. 

"Every player will make a mistake, keepers will make mistakes. It happens. 

"I've seen from day one that he is an extremely athletic goalkeeper and he works so hard on the details."
