Walsall attack is a work in progress - Sadler

Mat Sadler's side are top of League Two on goal difference

Walsall boss Mat Sadler believes his forward line remains a "work in progress" despite scoring four goals in a return to winning ways in League Two.

Having scored just two goals in their previous five games in all competitions, the Saddlers have responded with a 3-0 FA Cup win at Eastleigh followed by a 4-2 victory at bottom side Newport on Saturday.

The result ended a three-match winless league run, including back-to-back defeats, and kept them top of the table on goal difference from Swindon.

"We've created loads of chances in the last three or four games, so we're a work in progress," Sadler told BBC Radio WM.

"We're finding the dynamics that work for us, and we'll keep doing that.

"Today was a really good day in terms of that output attacking-wise, I thought there could have been more goals."

After falling behind at Rodney Parade, Ryan Finnigan's double helped the visitors into a 3-1 lead but Newport halved the deficit before half-time.

However, Sadler's side took control of a topsy-turvy match after the break, aided by a fourth from Rico Browne.

"I thought we really controlled things at the start of the second half which was really pleasing for us and what we spoke about at half-time," said Sadler.

"We thought we could attack all the time in the first half and we just needed to bring a bit of control to the game, and I thought we did that miles better in the second half."

Walsall were again light in midfield, with Jamie Jellis (groin) and Brandon Comley (illness) joining Jake Hollman on the sidelines.

But there was positive news with the return of Lewis Warrington as a second-half substitute, and in Finnigan's impact.

"Ryan hasn't played the last couple of weeks, but I thought he looked very, very strong and I was delighted to see him get his couple of goals, he deserved them," Sadler added.

"We want to see him crash the box even more because he's got a great finishing ability."
