Walsall player ratings as two get 4 and another gets 8 in Chesterfield draw
George Bennett gives his Walsall player ratings from their 2-2 draw against Chesterfield at the SMH Group Stadium in League Two.
MYLES ROBERTS
Did his best to keep out Will Grigg who scored from the rebound and produced a pair of outstanding saves to deny Lee Bonis.
Key: 7
HARRISON BURKE
Made his first league appearance in four months and won the majority of his duels on a busy afternoon for the young defender.
Solid: 6
ADEN FLINT
A lot tidier in his distribution - especially in the second half - and looked a lot more like his usual self.
Tidier: 6
EVAN WEIR
Dawdled on the ball and was pickpocketed by Dilan Markanday who went on to score, although his free-kick led to the equaliser.
Challenging: 4
ALFIE CHANG
The new signing was outbattled in the first half on his 'second debut' but rose to the challenge with a much more assured performance after the break.
Return: 6
CONNOR BARRETT
Sat off Tom Pearce in the build-up to the opening goal but looked a threat going forward as he set-up Daniel Kanu to score.
Threat: 7
COURTNEY CLARKE
Lost all of his nine duels and had a quiet afternoon by his standards after switching to midfield.
Passive: 5
ALEX PATTISON
Bypassed regularly in the first half but linked the play well and created dangerous overloads once Albert Adomah was introduced.
Link: 6
VINCENT HARPER
Had his work cut out against Markanday in the first half but got the better of him in an improved second half display.
Grew: 6
JAMILLE MATT
Looked a yard behind in the press and was wasteful in front of goal as a hip issue forced him off at the interval.
Forced off: 4
DANIEL KANU
Never tired chasing lost causes and reaped the reward when he halved the deficit and set-up the equaliser for Albert Adomah.
Decisive: 7
Subs
ALBERT ADOMAH (for Matt, 45)
Crucial following his half-time introduction. Constantly dragged Walsall forward and rescued a point with the all-important equaliser.
Evergreen: 8
CHARLIE LAKIN (for Chang, 72)
JAMIE JELLIS (for Adomah, 81)
BRANDON COMLEY (for Clarke, 90)
AARON LOUPALO-BI (for Kanu, 90)
Unused: Hornby, Farquharson.
