Clarke, who had seen his side bounce back from being two-nil down at the break to take a fourth win in as many games, praised his squad for their resilience as they were able to continue their spell of form.
A brace of braces, from Jake Scrimshaw and Dan Scarr respectively, saw the Saddlers move to one place below the Play-Off places, continuing their fine spell of form, which has seen them go unbeaten in six games.
The manager initially apologised to his players for his initial selection before praising their togetherness as the four players he replaced at the break were still supportive of their team as they mounted a welcome comeback.
