Walsall players celebrate Isaac Hutchinson's opener against Gillingham

Isaac Hutchinson said before the game that this side were capable of beating anyone in the division, but it has really been all about consistency for Walsall.

It was ironic really that he was the man on fire on Saturday, to lead his side to victory.

Before the game and on the back of the shambolic result at Sutton the week before, there was a danger it could go from bad to worse for Walsall.

But like Hutchinson said, they showed they do have the quality to beat anyone in the division. They did it against a very good side like Gillingham, who came into the game in third place.
