MYLES ROBERTS 

Had one nervy moment in possession but produced a handful of strong stops to preserve his third clean sheet in four games.

Clean sheet: 7

RICO BROWNE 

Had his work cut out at times when he was drawn into a physical battle with Joe Quigley but improved as the game wore on.

Grew: 6 

ADEN FLINT 

Dug out Rico Browne on a couple of occasions and demonstrated his calmness and experience with a very professional performance.

Professional: 8

DAN COX 

Done his chances no harm whatsoever on his first league start since August. Steady both on the ball and in his decision-making.

Steady: 7 

LEWIS WARRINGTON 

Guilty of being a little too passive at times and was drawn into a cheap booking. He did press Oldham into a costly mistake for the winner though.

Passive: 6 

CONNOR BARRETT

Never really had a chance to demonstrate his attacking prowess but dealt with his defensive duties excellently.

Focused: 7 

JAMIE JELLIS 

Still finding his feet after returning from his latest spell on the side lines. Had some good moments and will hopefully benefit from this outing.

Progress: 6 

CHARLIE LAKIN 

Wriggled into some good areas at times and pressed relentlessly with an energetic display out-of-possession. 

Energetic: 7 

VINCENT HARPER 

Worked tirelessly bombing up and down the left. Very terrier-like in his performance and threw himself into every challenge.

Terrier: 7 

DANIEL KANU 

He reached double figures in all competitions after capitalising on Luke Hannant's mistake in the first half, but was much quieter after the break.

Clinical: 8

JAMILLE MATT

The ball didn't always stick for the Walsall target man but he put in an admirable shift both in and out of possession.

Shift: 7 

Subs: Brandon Comley (for Warrington, 62) 7; Ryan Finnigan (for Jellis, 62) 7; Priestley Farquharson (for Cox, 75); Adomah (for Matt, 75); Courtney Clarke (for Lakin, 83).

Not used: Sam Hornby, Rico Richards.
