With just one win in eighteen outings, the Saddlers arrived at the match in search of a much-needed return to winning ways as they looked to avoid slipping yet-closer to the relegation zone.
The Saddlers saw a major opportunity to go into the lead go to waste as Emmanuel Osadebe had a 38th minute penalty saved as former Walsall scholar James Belshaw pulled off a fine save - one of many during the game - to deny his former side.
