Walsall were back in action on Saturday afternoon as they welcomed Colchester United to Poundland Bescot Stadium as we reached gameday six in the 2023/24 League Two campaign.
The match was something of a low-key affair until the sixty-fifth minute as Isaac Hutchinson grabbed his second goal of the season with a well-taken effort from distance.
