Walsall player ratings vs Chesterfield as star man gets an 8
Dan Stacey gives his Walsall player ratings.
Tommy Simkin
Handled a back pass inside his own box moments before half-time and should have done better to prevent the resulting indirect free-kick. No chance with Chesterfield’s second and otherwise untroubled.
Nervy 5
Connor Barrett
His hard work earned two or three set-pieces that he had no right to win and provided an option down the flank throughout. Mat Sadler believes he had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside.
Battling 7
David Okagbue
Put his body on the line to deny Armando Dobra’s first-half shot from troubling the goalkeeper. Went about his business without fuss to continue his solid start to the season.
Strong 6
Harry Williams
Looked to create chaos with his long throws and aerial presence against a resolute home defence. Did well to keep EFL goalscoring veteran and former Saddlers man Will Grigg quiet.
