Walsall head coach Mat Sadler says he wants his side to get back to playing "front-foot" football in their bid to keep pace with the race for automatic promotion from League Two. The Saddlers were held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Crawley Town at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on Tuesday - their second goalless stalemate at home in a row. The result dropped Walsall to sixth in the table, two points off the top three. Despite the disappointment, Sadler said he could not fault his players' effort. "It moves the scoreboard on a little bit but not in the attacking sense that we wanted - that's obvious - but I hold on to how hard we worked."
