Transcript

00:01Wow, wow, wow. It's finished. Walsall 2, Bristol Rovers 1. What a second half performance from Walsall.

00:08To come back from a goal down and steal victory. Two brilliant goals from Aaron Presley to get the win.

00:15It was a game of two halves. Chalk and cheese in the first half compared to the second for Walsall.

00:20Changes were made at half time by Matt Sadler to inspire that win.

00:24But in the first period they really struggled. Coming under intense pressure from Bristol Rovers,

00:29who went forward and Cavan getting the goal that they deserved. A tidy finish as well.

00:34And they pressed for more. Walsall surviving. Matt Sadler saying they were happy to get into half time

00:39and it was apparent. And he made the changes as they came out for the second period.

00:43And good ones too it seemed. An inspiring victory. Back came Jamie Jealous as well from injury

00:49and immediately got himself amongst the action. Starting a lovely passage of play that led to the

00:54first goal. A well taken header by Presley. The big Scotsman up front for Walsall.

00:59And he took his tally to five goals today with his two. First the header. Second.

01:04A brilliant finish after an amazing run from Connor Barrett down the right side.

01:08A brilliant through ball from him. Finding the striker who produced a great composed finish

01:14to give Walsall the lead. They had to survive then for another 20 minutes.

01:1710 minutes of additional time were added on here at Bescott today.

01:21But defending very well. Resolently got Walsall over the line. That sees them now to seven games

01:28unbeaten in League Two. They remain at the top of the standings. And I'm sure Matt Sadler

01:33will be very very happy after a very good second half display. Despite what happened in that

01:39first half.

01:40So Walsall now they'll just want to continue really with that dominant display they had

01:44in the second half. And hope that that fight can you know help them as they go on in the

01:48season. Still a long way to go. And that's one thing they'll have learnt from last season

01:53of course. When they narrowly missed out on promotion. Suffering heartbreak in the playoffs.

01:57But Walsall a great victory today. And certainly on to the next. They'll be in great spirits.
