Walsall boss Mat Sadler has - following his side's one-all draw with bottom-of-the-table Carlisle United on Tuesday evening.
Opening the scoring via Taylor Allen with just seven minutes on the clock, the Saddlers huffed and puffed but were ultimately unable to capitalise upon any more chances as the hosts levelled via Aaron Hayden midway through the first-half.
Though the side entered an improved performance, they have seen their leas at the top of the table cut to just two points and could be knocked off the top of the table at the weekend.
Speaking to Express & Star reporter George Bennett, Sadler was first asked if he is concerned by the Saddlers' recent run of form, to which he said: "No, not at all.
"I think every season has its ups and downs. Any team that wins the league has one or two dips in the season, any team that finishes in the top three will have maybe three or four.
"It's part of the season. For me, I thought if you actually look at it, then it's one defeat in six.
"So you can spin it whatever way you want, but for us, we're happy with the performance.
"We played well tonight and that was the most important thing. Of course, we're disappointed we didn't get that goal that we deserved, and we had earned, but we take the point, we move on and the tally ticks on."
