Half-Time: Walsall 1-0 Swindon #Saddlers expressandstar.com/sport/football…

Did well to get to the break at 1-0. Walsall started well, taking the lead through Weir's stunning free-kick. The pendulum swung in the favour of Swindon after Comley's red card. Swindon have been on top since, although they're yet to seriously stretch Roberts. #Saddlers

Big and potentially long 45 ahead. Subs from both managers could be key. Walsall recovered well after the red. Flint has been steady & Warrington has acquitted himself well since coming on. #Saddlers

Mat Sadler hailed Walsall's character, bemoaned the "outrageous" decision to award Swindon a penalty and explained his substitutions after key impacts from the bench. #Saddlers expressandstar.com/sport/2025/08/…

Covered every blade of grass today 👏 #Saddlers

Two 8s from Walsall’s win over Swindon on opening day. Flint a beast at the back, Lakin never stopped & Clarke with a promising cameo, but plenty of other good shifts across the pitch. #Saddlers Full player ratings ⬇️ expressandstar.com/sport/2025/08/…
