'Words not action' - Mat Sadler issues rallying cry after Walsall's third successive defeat
Mat Sadler insists "words not action" will reawaken Walsall from their slumber after they suffered their third successive defeat against Salford City at the Peninsula Stadium.
Former Liverpool attacker Fabio Borini climbed off the bench to score the only goal for Salford with 16 minutes left on the clock.
Salford carved through the Walsall defence with ease and Borini wriggled into space inside the box to smash his finish past Myles Roberts.
Walsall are still only three points adrift of the League Two play-off places, but sixth-placed Salford extended the gap above the Saddlers in 11th to eight points.

"Notts County on Saturday was one of my favourite performances of the season, but we've come the other side of it in those key moments," boss Sadler said.
"It would be really easy to put that down to luck and I'm not going to do that. It would be very easy to blame it on that, but for me you have to make that luck.
"That part where a proactive run into the penalty area from their boy wins them the game and we find that or have that tonight.
