00:00Hi Sadler's fandom, inside the best got where Walsall have fallen to a 2-1 defeat against Barrow

00:06which ends the Sadler's 8-match unbeaten run in League 2

00:11but they do still sit at the top of the pile

00:13with a 2-point lead after Swindon Town also took a batter in 4-0 at Crinton Stanley this afternoon

00:20but yeah, it was just not Walsall's day in the end

00:23Matt Sadler made two changes

00:25Charlie Lakin surprisingly dropped to the bench

00:27as Courtney Clarke made his first home league start for the club

00:32Brandon Comley also dropped out as Lewis Warrington returned

00:37Matt Sadler did just explain there that Rico Richards and Jamil Matt both not in the squad

00:41and that was due to illness

00:42they were not in training on Thursday and Friday

00:45so they've been struggling with that

00:46and Walsall wanted to sort of keep that away from the camp this week

00:49and yeah, in the end, you know, Walsall started on the front foot

00:54carried the greater attacking threat

00:56but it was a first half really which was bereft of clear-cut chances

01:01there was one where Carnot from an acute angle had an effort smothered behind

01:07but it was Barrow hit the front 32 minutes on the clock

01:10broke down the right-hand side

01:11it's poor defending from Walsall actually

01:13and Vincent Harper was kind of sucked in

01:16as Barrow worked the ball down the right-hand side with a 1-2

01:20it was then flashed to the back post by Ben Whitfield

01:24and Elliot Newby was there to tap home

01:26and yeah, in that second half

01:30Walsall had chances

01:33I think Carnot had a couple of chances around the hour mark

01:38and they were starting to look a threat

01:40and of course Barrow had been sent down to 10 men

01:43Lewis Shipley was given a second yellow card

01:46for pulling down McCarnot on the right-hand side

01:48and then Barrow doubled their advantage

01:52Charlie McCann, quick break

01:54worked down the right-hand side

01:56and it ricocheted about two or three times inside the penalty area

01:59before McCann eventually rolled the ball beyond the reach of

02:02Myles Roberts

02:03and that left water over mountains climb

02:05Matt Sadler did react with a triple substitution

02:07I thought Judah Kiki actually came on around the 55-minute mark

02:12he played really well

02:13good cameo from the bench from him

02:15but the triple substitution came in

02:17and Albert Odoma came on at right wing-back

02:19for Connor Barrett

02:20Ryan Finnegan came on as well

02:23and Walsall made a real impact

02:27Charlie Lakin also came on, sorry

02:29and yeah, it was a major onslaught then from Walsall

02:32and the Barrow goalkeeper, Will Stanway

02:35was absolutely fantastic

02:37man of the match

02:37made a string of saves

02:39but Daniel Carnot did eventually pull one back

02:42and the chances just kept coming

02:43and kept coming for Walsall

02:45and it did feel that hopefully

02:46that equaliser would arrive

02:48and unfortunately it didn't

02:49the best chance of the lot

02:50found to Aaron Presley

02:52he's around six yards out

02:53and he just planted a downward header

02:55into the post

02:56when really he should have scored

02:58but in the end

02:59it's a 2-1 defeat here

03:00and yeah, first defeat in nine for Walsall

03:04and on to Cheltenham away

03:06next weekend

03:06in the early kick-off

03:08on疏
