Walsall player ratings as four receive 5/10 in last-gasp defeat to Oldham
George Bennett gives his Walsall player ratings from their 2-1 defeat against Oldham Athletic at Bescot.
MYLES ROBERTS
Bravely dived at the feet of Kai Payne in the first half and made another late save to deny Kian Harratt.
Alert: 7
PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON
Had a challenging evening which was cut short after he picked up an eye injury from a clash of heads with Joe Garner.
Blow: 6
ADEN FLINT
Had a towering header blocked late in the first half and was the standout performer in an otherwise shaky defence.
Strong: 7
EVAN WEIR
Drew a smart save inside the first 60 seconds, but misplaced far too many of his passes and struggled positionally.
Loose: 5
BRANDON COMLEY
Bailed out by Roberts after his early slip on the ball but was much more composed on the ball in the second half.
Grew: 6
CONNOR BARRETT
Made a few surging runs inside but just never seemed to be in sync with either Ryan Finnigan or Courtney Clarke.
Frustrating: 6
RYAN FINNIGAN
Inconsistency has been an issue and it proved a frustrating night for the midfielder who failed to make an impact.
Inconsistent: 5
COURTNEY CLARKE
Provided energy but let himself down with his decision-making at times. Did hit the woodwork twice, both from corners.
Mixed: 6
VINCENT HARPER
Relentlessly tracked up and down the left and was one of the few players that could leave the pitch with their heads held high.
Shift: 7
DANIEL KANU
Rarely afforded a sniff at goal but seized a rare chance when he powered home a sensational finish from a tight angle.
Clinical: 7
JAMILLE MATT
Struggled to win many of his battles in the first half but provided an assist for Kanu's equaliser after the break.
Assist: 5
Subs: Rico Browne (for Farquharson, 35) 6; Aaron Pressley (for Matt, 65) 5; Jid Okeke (for Barrett, 76); Charlie Lakin (for Finnigan, 77); Albert Adomah (for Kanu, 77).
Not used: Sam Hornby, Jamie Jellis.
