Walsall 1 Fleetwood Town 0

Tom Bradshaw hit the goal trail again before making a case for the defence.

Bradshaw's stop-start season has been interrupted by several hamstring injuries, but he hit his seventeenth goal of the season to ease Walsall's relegation worries before saying:

"I think that we've now kept twenty clean sheets which is an incredible performance at any level. If you add up the points they've earned us, they're every bit as important as my goals.

"I set a target of fifteen for the season and would like to reach twenty now, but you shouldn't underestimate how well we've defended this season."

Wales U-21 striker Bradshaw, 22, has only played 24 league games this season due to four hamstring injuries, but will be working with Saddlers' physio Jon Whitney this summer to resolve the issue. He said:

"It's something I have to strengthen. Whits has been great to get me back four times, he really has and its massively appreciated. We have a plan to sort it out this summer so hopefully it's something we can nip in the bud."

Walsall boss Dean Smith was delighted with Bradshaw's contribution and said:

"We're not just a one-man team - but we're a better team when he's in it, there's no doubt about that. His injuries have been frustrating for all of us but we`re just glad that we've got him here."

Fleetwood manager Graham Alexander has not given up on a play-off berth, but was disappointed his side had not taken something from the game. He groaned:

"We should have seen the game out and been happy with a point, and I guess that’s been our achilles heel this season. Bradshaw’s found half a yard and it was a good finish from a striker who has scored lots of goals."
