Missed opportunity - Sunday's League One League Table

With three minutes to go Walsall were out of the relegation zone, then after Port Vale's late leveller, we were back in it once more.

On the plus side we moved up a place, on the bad side MK Dons winning meant we are only one point clear of the bottom.

With the table so tight Walsall must pray goal difference does not come into play. Only MK Dons have a worse goal difference than ourselves.
