A damn cold day but an important one if Walsall were to keep up the momentum for a play-off push and after a cagey start they did just that.

Here’s the BBC match report.

Doncaster look a side that’s lost confidence, but looked dangerous on occasions. Typical of this was the headed back-pass that looped over their advancing keeper and was nearly slotted into the net but for a timely intervention from their defender.

Walsall always looked like they would win, despite the bad conditions – it rained for a good hour and made the pitch quite wet and when it started to dry, the ball stuck more in the mud, making passing difficult.

Walsall’s keeper – Jackson Smith – was again outstanding and part of Walsall’s revival is that he plays the ball out to midfield quickly as well as the occasional long ball. Another player making a difference is Jamille Matt. Now fit, he’s running onto the ball a lot better and when playing with Mo Faal, Walsall have two big strikers that are quick with their feet as well. Plenty of attacking options there as well with Josh Gordon and Ross Tierney on the bench or starting.

Forest Green Rovers next who are bottom of the league so let’s see if Saddlers can maintain the momentum.
