Tommy Simkin - 6

Nervy - Had a couple of hairy moments when sweeping up balls in behind although he could do nothing to stop Robbie McKenzie's unstoppable strike.

David Okagbue - 6

Mixed - Conceded a cheap throw-in prior to Gillingham's equaliser with a hesitant clearance but produced a vital goal-line clearance to thwart Armani Little late on.

Harry Williams - 7

Alert - The only Walsall player who was switched on when Max Clark fed a free-kick in behind as he got across to deny Joe Gbode in the first half. 

Evan Weir - 7

Promising - Replaced the suspended Taylor Allen and played an instrumental role in the build-up to Matt's goal with a beautiful cross-field switch to Connor Barrett.

Ryan Stirk - 6
