00:45Instead it served as a really key wake-up call for them because they went 16 matches

00:51in the league without defeat after that and propelled themselves into the position that

00:56they are now, including what was a club record nine-match winning streak. Walsall had plenty

01:02in the bank in that respect but they need to make sure that it's just purely a blip
