Walsall faced challenging times and needed to confront their struggles head-on, which they successfully did during their match against Notts County, marking a turning point in their performance.
Mat Sadler must have felt the pressure as Walsall entered the weekend on a troubling streak, failing to score in four of their last five games and without a win in six League Two matches. In response to the team’s concerning decline, Ben Boycott and Leigh Pomlett publicly addressed the need for immediate improvement in results.
The Walsall players demonstrated a commendable fighting spirit, rallying for their manager and each other. This display of grit and determination was notably absent over the past two months.
Oisin McEntee emerged as the standout performer, rightfully so, with his second-half brace contributing significantly to Walsall’s comeback. Sadler’s decision to position him as a midfielder proved to be a wise move, evident in his five goals and four assists across all competitions, affirming his impact.
Beyond his on-field contributions, McEntee is evolving into a crucial leader within the Walsall team. His work ethic and versatility were never in doubt, but he has now added a new dimension to his game with well-timed runs into the box.
The overall scenario showcased the team’s resilience and determination, providing a positive outlook for Walsall’s future performances.
