Goals from Isaiah Osbourne and Ivan Toney saw the Saddlers held to a 1-1 draw at London Road.

Keates’ men had 12 shots on target over the course of the 90 minutes. But they also missed three glorious late chances.

Luke Leahy saw a penalty saved, Josh Gordon headed straight at Conor Malley just yards from goal while Andy Cook was also denied by the keeper when he made a brilliant double stop.

But while Keates was pleased with his side’s performance on the back of their loss at Bradford last weekend, he admitted they should have taken all three points.

“If I am honest I am lost for words,” the boss said.

“We have given a bad goal away. When the corner comes in, it’s a blatant foul on Robbo (Liam Roberts). It’s a foul. Our goalkeeper is pinned in.
