Walsall player ratings: Raft of 7s as professional Saddlers have too much composure and nous for non-leaguers
The Express & Star dishes out the player ratings as Mat Sadler's Walsall progress to FA Cup third round with professional win at Gateshead.
Myles Roberts
Seldom tested at all. Had to be alive to some high balls and crosses and claimed those that weren't headed clear well. Top save deep into stoppages to preserve clean sheet.
Switched-on 6
Connor Barrett
Involved high up to press the hosts in penalty build-up. Got forward when he could and showed some great vision.
Relentless 7
Priestley Farquharson
Was a solid presence in the heart of Walsall's defence with several clearances. Super tackle just before half-time.
Solid 7
Aden Flint
He is inevitable. Made himself a threat from Saddlers set-pieces as he so often does. Should've scored on 20 minutes and made no mistake just after break.
Inevitable 7
Evan Weir
