Walsall player ratings as one gets 4/10 in bore draw against Accrington

Moved on to double figures for clean sheets in all competitions, but made hard work of the saves he was forced into.

Nervy: 6

PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON 

Helped keep Accrington at bay with a strong defensive performance. Swept up the danger well and brought his physicality to proceedings.

Strong: 7 

ADEN FLINT 

Dug his side out of trouble when Accrington did break into the box and was a commanding presence in the air as per usual.

Commanding: 7 

EVAN WEIR 

Switched off positionally at times but threatened with his delivery. Also saw a header tipped over deep into second half stoppage time.

Mixed: 6 

BRANDON COMLEY 

One of the brighter performers and demonstrated his experience by carefully walking a tightrope with a professional display following his dubious early booking.

Experienced: 6 

CONNOR BARRETT 

Looked lost positionally at times and struggled to open up the Accrington defence on the ball, as he was marshalled with ease.

Marshalled: 4 

JAMIE JELLIS 

Threatened in flashes and had two chances after the break via late runs into the box, but was taken off after the hour.

Flashes: 6 

ALEX PATTISON 

Complimented the play in the rare moments Walsall did attack and had a couple of chances. Went off with cramp after the hour.

Bright: 6 

VINCENT HARPER 

Had a quiet first half but grew into the game after the break, as he set-up a pair of chances for Jamie Jellis. 

Grew: 6

JAMILLE MATT 

Had a physical battle on his hands with Ferrend Rawson but began to link-up play until he was surprisingly withdrawn.

Physical: 5 

DANIEL KANU 

Had to feed off scraps but threatened with his speed and hit the crossbar with a header. His substitution left many baffled.

Crossbar: 6

Subs: 

Courtney Clarke (for Jellis, 65) - 6

Provided an injection of energy but was inconsistent with his set piece deliveries.

Charlie Lakin (for Pattison, 65) - 6

Showed endeavour to bring the ball forward but was unable to deliver the killer pass.

Aaron Loupalo-Bi (for Kanu, 78) - 5 

Struggled to impose himself on the closing stages which seemed to pass him by. 

Aaron Pressley (for Matt, 78) - 5 

An ineffective cameo on his return from a broken hand.

Albert Adomah (for Barrett, 90 +1)

Unused: Hornby, Lopata.
