Every team faces its bumps in the road, even the very best, and Walsall are no different.
The five-match winless run threatened to derail the Saddlers' seemingly unstoppable ascent to the top but they finally appear to be back on track.
Back-to-back wins have refocused their League Two title credentials and their 2-0 success on the Lancashire Coast against Morecambe was a classic away performance.
Mat Sadler was forced to shuffle his pack, and in doing so, proved that he does in fact have a plan B.
A sickness bug ruled Charlie Lakin out of the game and Sadler brought in Brandon Comley for his first league start of the campaign.
You wouldn't have thought it was his first league start in 10 months with the 29-year-old slotting in seamlessly in the holding role which has been expertly filled by Ryan Stirk for much of the campaign.
Stirk, prior to the win over Chesterfield, had dropped off somewhat in terms of performance levels, but showcased his intelligence and composure on the ball to play a key role in the midfield.
Comley was disciplined in the deep-lying role, reading play expertly to prevent Morecambe from posing a threat between the sticks, while selflessly protecting his defence in the process.
