SAM HORNBY 

Deputised between the sticks again and produced a smart save to tip behind a tricky cross-cum-shot by Mark Helm in the second half.

Alert: 6 

PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON 

Caught ball-watching when Helm was left unmarked to score, but was strong in the air and constantly looked to get the ball forward.

Strong: 7

ADEN FLINT 

Guilty of ambling out to Ethan Ennis for the Fleetwood goal, although he was much tidier in his overall play.

Tidier: 6 

EVAN WEIR

Lost the ball before the goal and was sloppy in possession early on. Grew into the game and served a real driving force going forward.

Grew: 7

BRANDON COMLEY 

Such an understated player in this team. Kept Walsall ticking in possession and always looks to thread passes between the lines.

Understated: 7
