Mat Sadler says he’s “pleased but not satisfied” with Walsall’s form on the road ahead of their trip to Blundell Park to face Grimsby Town tomorrow afternoon.

Walsall have collected seven points from their first five games on their travels and sit two points adrift of the League Two summit in fourth with a game in hand over the three teams above them.

Sadler’s men have kept two clean sheets and conceded just four times away from home in the process. In contrast, Walsall shipped 48 goals on the road last term - conceding an average of 2.13 goals per game.

And while Sadler recognised the improvement on the road, the Walsall boss insists his side cannot afford to rest on their laurels.

He said: “Pleased but not satisfied is always what we’ll take into everything. I remember that game (6-1 at Grimsby) and the amount of fans that came on New Year’s Day was amazing, considering all the games that we’d had over Christmas.
