Walsall manager Jon Whitney said:

"I'm hurting. I don't think it was a lack of effort from the players, it was just our decision making.

"We allowed them to execute their game plan a bit too easily. The second goal was a bit fortuitous but our reaction was very disappointing.

"The third goal makes it such an uphill task, but it's one that we can climb - I truly believe that."
