CARSLEY: His goal tipped the balance in the man-of-the-match stakes. But he was also powerfully committed all over the pitch and always tried to use the ball well. Walsall were chasing shadows with him and Frandsen together...9

WILCOX: Produced some moments of real quality and others of carelessness but that was true of the team's overall performance in some respects...7

WARD: A terrific player to have on your side, holds the ball up brilliantly, never shirks and scored a fine goal...8

GALLACHER: A late - but popular - call for the Scot and he lived up to the fans' expectations...8
