Chris Marsh impressed by Walsall's Luke Leahy

It was like watching the Great Escape on Saturday as Walsall came from three-nil down to draw with Bradford, writes Chris Marsh.

But what a strange game of football. I’ve got to say I thought Bradford’s first goal was excellent, the way they counter-attacked and moved the ball at pace was top draw.

Then a bit of poor defending and they were 2-0 up.

But otherwise, Walsall had dominated the half and were incredibly unfortunate to be going in at the break behind.

When Luke Leahy then diverted the ball in for an own-goal, I was shaking my head in disbelief.

Of course, Tyler Roberts then came on and changed the game – and quite rightly it was the Albion loanee who grabbed all the headlines afterwards following his fairytale debut.

I’ll touch on him a bit more later.

But it’s Leahy I want to talk about first because he really impressed me with his character.

By the time you’re an old pro, you realise there is no point in dwelling on mistakes. They happen. And you have to put them behind you.

But it’s different for young players, particularly young players who have just joined a club.
