Walsall boss Mat Sadler has spoken of his pleasure after seeing his Saddlers ease to victory over Carlisle United at the Poundland Bescot Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Goals from Nathan Lowe, Jamie Jellis, and Jamille Matt saw Walsall make it five wins in six home league games and move up to second in the League Two table.
As with their recent win over Grimsby Town, the Saddlers had to remain patient, allowing their visitors much of the ball before taking the game to the Cumbrians, taking all three points.
Speaking via to George Bennett of the Express & Star, Sadler said: "We started the game really well in both halves which was very pleasing.
"I watched them against Harrogate on Saturday and it's a game they should've won. I know slowly but surely that Mike is getting the detail into the players to play the way that he wants to play.
"So I knew especially off the back of that performance and the improvement I seen from them that this was going to be a proper game tonight.
"You saw that from large parts of the first half. It's testament to our lads that they changed quite a few of their guys to match our physicality.
"Although we got our noses in front in the first couple of minutes, it was a real battle of a first half.
"It was pleasing how we came out in that second half and got the goal early which was a real knock to the teeth to Carlisle.
"It was a very good night. Really pleasing for loads of different reasons."
