Walsall 1 Colchester 0 - player ratings
Check out the player ratings from Walsall's win over Colchester.
OWEN EVANS
Was already having an accomplished game with some important takes from crosses and set pieces before two incredible late saves to deny Colchester skipper Connor Hall and secure victory and a clean sheet.
Reflexes 9
PRIESTLEY FARQUHARSON
A competitive debut delayed by injury but one which was full of promise. Strong in the tackle and composed when taking the ball forward.
Positive 7
DONERVON DANIELS
Usual service from the skipper with some crucial blocks and clearances including the hugely important contribution after Evans’ first big save. Had a goal disallowed for offside.
Leadership 8
TAYLOR ALLEN
Slotted in effortlessly as the left sided centre back of the three, not only with his defensive work but striding forward and delivering some raking crossfield passes. Food for thought.
