To an extent peformances go out of the window at this time of the season, it's all about results! That's a massive win and puts the pressure back on Sunderland!
Unable to watch as iFollow not available if Sky Broadcasts but all the comments on here are not borne out by the BBC stats (although as we have seen in the past they are not always anything to go by.)

Because we really, really were! Apart from a few heart in mouth moments I never really thought we were going to lose but we looked like we could have played until next week and not scored.
Didn't look like we could buy a goal. Hopefully we kick on from here now. The gap of 5 points will place the pressure on Sunderland. Walton did excellent today. Came off his line well too to clear the ball a few times.
A sunday league pitch and the football to match at times but goals like that define seasons and credit to the boys for keeping going, phew
We can play football, important we got that goal will do wonders for our team spirit massive 3 points come on you reds
We left ourselves exposed at the back and let them counter us, relying on their ineptitude in finishing as much as anything. Strange approach to the game from us, which Walsall couldn't capitalise on. Ben Williams couldn't handle their winger, but saved us with a clearance off the line. Our centre backs were ace. Walton made some fine last ditch saves. Somehow we won.
Walsall shouldn’t be in bottom 4 on that performance... not a bad side. We weren’t at our best though...
Yep they are only 3 points if mid table though to be fair , it’s very tight. I thought they looked really good.
We were extremely lucky, but grinding out results are what champions are made of. (Just a pity we’re in a division with Luton at the moment) Williams clearing off the line, and I honestly don’t think there was anything wrong with their goal in the first half. Plus Walton has pulled off some blinders. But in the end you can’t fault the lads for not giving up until the final whistle, could’ve easily folded and took a point with how today went. But finally a goal and ANOTHER clean sheet is bloody fantastic. COYR
