Made a fine stop to deny Jude Arthurs but allowed Mitch Pinnock’s shot from distance to go through his gloves.

Beaten: 5

HARRISON BURKE

A surprise starter at right-back and carried the ball well in the moments he ventured forward. Afternoon cut short by injury.

Blow: 6

ADEN FLINT

Made a couple of key blocks but was perhaps fortunate not to have received a second yellow for a first half trip to Nicke Kabamba.

Fortunate: 5

KACPER LOPATA

Returned from injury and was involved in a near costly mix-up that tempted Flint into a first half challenge which could’ve led to a second booking.

Mix-up: 4

MASON HANCOCK

Booked for a full-blooded challenge and rarely had the opportunity to venture forward on an afternoon that he had his hands full.

Reserved: 5

ALBERT ADOMAH

Made promising inroads down the right but his delivery let him down at the decisive moment. Replaced on the hour.

Replaced: 5

ALEX PATTISON

Looked unlike his usual energetic self in the first half, but improved after the break - switching the ball to Aaron Loupalo-Bi for Walsall’s goal.

Grew: 5

CHARLIE LAKIN

Never found his range on the ball as he was forced to deputise again in holding midfield for the closing stages.

Struggled: 5

COURTNEY CLARKE

Started on the left wing on his 50th Walsall appearance but was given a torrid time by Pinnock when switching to right-back.

Tough: 5

AARON PRESSLEY

Did well with his back to goal at times but was made to pay for his profligacy after spurning a number of chances.

Wasteful: 4

DANIEL KANU

Unable to force an early chance over the line but watched most of the contest pass him by on his final game.

Ineffective: 5

SUBS

JID OKEKE (for Burke, 44)

Replaced Clarke on the left wing and briefly halved the deficit with an opportunistic finish.

Scored: 6

AARON LOUPALO-BI (for Adomah, 62)

Made an immediate impact from the bench when he squared for Okeke to score.

Impact: 6

JAMIE JELLIS (for Pressley, 62)

Came on for 100th Walsall appearance and came close with a deflected effort over the bar.

Milestone: 5

VINCENT HARPER (for Hancock, 90)

WILL ETHERIDGE (for Lakin, 90)

The second year scholar made his senior debut from the bench.

Unused: Hornby, Comley.
