It's clear that Newport have come into the game in the last 15 minutes, but that's going to happen with them at home.

Walsall have to make sure that they can deal with that.

Kyle Hudlin is down for Newport.

He has a huge handful of Walsall captain Taylor Allen's shirt and Allen falls on top of him.

The crowd are in fine form at Rodney Parade.

Jamie Jellis passes to Nathan Asiimwe who returns the ball to him but Jellis had strayed into an offside position and the flag goes up.

Walsall have tried to get on the ball early on.

If we can get the two wing-backs into the game, we know how much damage they can cause.

Albert Adomah has come into the side and he is looking lively so far.

He tries to thread a pass through to Cameron Antwi who was offside.
