Walsall boss Mat Sadler saw his team sweep aside struggling Newport 2-0 but only after a half-time pep talk and a TV show. The visitors had scored eight goals in their previous two matches and the Saddlers manager admitted he was frustrated with his side’s first-half showing.

Walsall boss Mat Sadler has signed a new contract to run until the summer of 2028. The 39-year-old has guided the Saddlers to the top of League Two this season and they are currently 10 points clear of Crewe Alexandra and Salford City.
