Walsall boss Mat Sadler called upon his team to bounce back quickly following their dismal 6-2 defeat to Fleetwood Town on Tuesday evening.
Playing under the lights at the Poundland Bescot Stadium, the Saddlers took a 2-1 lead into half-time as Harry Williams and Jamille Matt struck to put their side ahead.
However, in a second-half to forget, they went on to conceded five unanswered goals to bring their unbeaten home run to a crashing end leaving the gaffer to ponder whether it was a one-off blip or a sign of things to come.
Speaking to George Bennett of the Express & Star, Sadler said: "I suppose it remains to be seen if it's a freak result but from the evidence of the first few games we've had that that was a jolt.
"We go in at half-time 2-1 up. Then we came out at the start of the second half and the penalty deflated things a little bit.
"We wanted to get on the front foot in the second half and then a couple of set play goals that were uncharacteristic from us changed the complexion of the game.
"A strange second half. For us, we've got to move on really quickly. We've got to do what we do when we come in after a win and we dust ourselves down and go again.
"I try not to get too up and down because I don't think that really helps but we need to continue reminding ourselves of who we are, what we believe and how good I know we are.
"One defeat doesn't change my mind on that. All that it does it act as a let's go again moment."
