Harry Burgoyne of Shrewsbury Town saves a penalty from Danny Johnson of Walsall (AMA)

Harry Burgoyne, 8

Walsall had a lot of opportunities on the night, but they so often missed the target completely, not forcing Burgoyne into action. But he was on hand to save Danny Johnson's penalty with a good low stop to his left.

Tunmise Sobowale, 7

A solid performance from Sobowale playing on the right side of a back three, slightly deeper than what we are used to seeing him play. He did well in that position before moving to wing-back late on.

Joe Anderson, 6

He was given his chance on the left side of the back three so he would have been disappointed with not dealing with Jackson Smith's long clearance for Walsall's opener.

Aaron Pierre, 6
