Slade praises Orient's character

"Jamie Jones pulled off two great saves and I was delighted.

"As a group, we stood together and we weren't great until we got the goal.

"But we got the goal and then I thought we were the better side.

"At the end of the day, it's a double over Walsall, it's six points and we can't ask for anymore."
