The young Saddlers, who will also face Shrewsbury Town, and Lincoln City in their cup group, have endured a difficult start to their 2018/19 campaign having drawn one and lost two of their opening three league games, and were hoping to kick-start their campaign as they welcomed Donny to Ray Hall Lane.
Sadly for Graham Biggs side, their difficult start continued as, despite taking the lead via a Jacob Walton strike after sixty-six minutes of play, goals from Myron Gibbons (70'), and Brandon Horton (81') were enough for Rovers to begin the group campaign with a win.
Walsall are next in action next Saturday as they play host to Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Youth Alliance.
