Brentford manager Mark Warburton satisfied with draw at Walsall despite being knocked off top of League One Brentford took the lead on the half-hour when Jake Bidwell's deep cross from the left was met by the head of Clayton Donaldson for his 49th goal in Brentford colours and 99th of his career. Walsall drew on their bruised pride, their attacks increasingly acquired shape and fluidity and as the first period progressed the Bees penalty area became a hive of activity. In time added before the break, the Saddlers" pressure paid off when Milan Lalkovic headed across goal to where Craig Westcarr, seemingly in gratitude, bowed his head and sent the ball wide of the flaying arms of David Button. Walsall were far the better side in the second period, although Brentford created the best opening when Donaldson's precise low cross from the right set up Marcello Trotta with just Richard O'Donnell to beat, only for the Fulham loanee to part the Bees fans behind the goal with a wayward finish. As the game entered its closing stages, Romaine Sanders's curling shot was denied by the prodigious leap and fingertips of Button, Westcarr fired inches wide, while at the other end Brentford's riposte was a fine effort from substitute Stuart Dallas that had O'Donnell scrambling. "It was a terrific game of football, played out by two very good teams," Smith, the Walsall manager, said. We outplayed them for much of the second half, unfortunately, we didn't get over the line to get three points. Walsall have by far the lowest goals-for tally of any team in the top half of League One, something Smith is hoping to rectify. I'm aware we are not scoring enough goals. Among the jobs this week is to talk to a couple of clubs about bringing in a striker. We're awaiting return "phone calls, I'm hopeful of getting something done, all being well, this week. I'm looking at a striker but also other positions as well.
