Walsall Head Coach Mat Sadler has spoken of his frustration as the Saddlers suffered their first defeat of the season away to Tranmere Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
Going into the game with three wins in all competitions, the Saddlers were unable to make an impact in the final third as Omari Patrick's first-half goal secured the win for the home side.
A slew of promising opportunities, including a saved Jamille Matt penalty, meant the Saddlers were unable to maintain the recent form, leading the gaffer to insist his team didn't get what they deserved.
Speaking to the assembled media, including George Bennett of the Express & Star, Mat said: "Frustrating because those things just didn't go our way. If we score the penalty then it's a completely different game.
"We didn't do well enough to defend their set play, which we knew they were very strong at, for their goal.
"That then gave them the chance to sit right in against us which might be a theme at times this season.
"I said it to the lads then that there's only one dressing room I'd want to be in coming away from here and sometimes you don't quite get what you deserve from the balance of the game.
"Frustration is the overriding feeling but in fairness to Tranmere, they're an incredibly experienced, drilled and well-organised team.
"So you know if you don't score your chance then give them a goal to hang onto, then it's going to take that little bit of magic that we didn't quite fall the right side of today."
