Matt Sadler welcomes the “professional” Walsall display in Win At Morecambe – Irvine Times

Matt Sadler welcomes the “professional” Walsall display in Win At Morecambe – Irvine Times

The second half goals by Taylor Alan and Jamie Jelles punished Morecamb, who were reduced to 10 men after Rhys Williams was sent five minutes after the break.

Sadler said: “It was a professional performance from beginning to end and banned a five -minute spell at the end of the first half, I thought we were controlling the game.

“It’s a terrible terrain and it’s really hard to play on both teams to get football in the game, but we did well.

“It was basically that we scored immediately after sending and it was a double bite for them.

“They came back to us, but the determination we showed to throw our bodies on the line and give everything to the cause to keep a clean sheet, it was obvious for everyone to see and I am particularly pleased with the pure sheet because we had to dig Deep about it. “

Morecambe manager Derek Adams, whose side remained in the lower two, asked the sending, but also said that the inability to risk again was expensive.

The hosts created a gold opportunity to equalize when Marcus dacies turned to the exact Adam Lewis to cross six yards.

Adams said: “We had the better opportunities than Walsol and we had to outstrip, but we missed a lot of chances and the game then turned on the sending.

“Rhys Williams got on the wrong side of her husband and was a foul, but it was 20 to 25 yards from a goal, and Max Taylor was in the immediate vicinity, so I’m not sure this was an obvious opportunity for a goal scorer.

“To get things worse, they got a goal from a free kick immediately when it looked like our wall, which was thrown and pursued it afterwards.

“We still created some good opportunities to return to it, but we didn’t take them and it is disappointing because the attackers have to get and start taking the chances we create.”

The disappointments removed at the final whistle when Sadler refused to shift Adams’s hand after some heavy words were exchanged between the two sets of rear rooms.
