Grimsby v Walsall FC W: Aaron Pressley scores.

Priestley Farquharson headed the Saddlers into a deserved lead in the 32nd-minute, before their good work was undone when Myles Roberts was dismissed before half-time. 

Sadler said he will need to see the incident back before reaching a verdict, but the sending off swung the pendulum firmly the Mariners' favour. 

Andy Cook scored twice against his former club after the break, but Aaron Pressley rescued a point with a 72nd-minute equaliser. 

"There was a lot to like about the team tonight. Anyone who doubts us, we're just going to keep proving people wrong," boss Sadler said.

"That's how we need to go about things. I just said that to the lads, that belief of who we are was very much evident today. 

Walsall deservedly took the lead through Priestley Farquharson just past the half-hour mark.
