The Saddlers arrived at the match on the back of a disappointing defeat to Bolton Wanderers and in search of a much-needed win, with the Reds' recent record being a major cause for concern.
Both sides had to settle for a point on the evening as neither was able to get that all-important goal, this, despite the Saddlers enjoying a man advantage for much of the second-half following Sam Hart's red card.
