Playing host to Crawley Town, the Saddlers were looking to build upon last weekend's one-all draw with struggling Mansfield Town as they looked to edge closer to the upper reaches of the table.
After failing to secure a single shot on target for three quarters of the match it was left to veteran defender Mat Sadler to find the back of the net as he tapped home from close range following a parried corner kick.
