SPORT COPYRIGHT NATIONAL WORLD STEVE LEATH 26/11/24Walsall FC v Bromley FC. W V B: David Okagbue scores.

Tommy Simkin - 7 (Unlucky)

Pulled off a smart save to deny Omar Sowunmi's powerful header early in the second half but was unable to keep back-to-back clean sheets.

David Okagbue - 7 (Decisive) 

Involved in both goals as his headed clearance set-up Liam Gordon's opener before he rescued a point with the final kick of the game.

Donervon Daniels - 6 (Nervy) 

Clearly still feel his way back into the swing of things and had a couple of nervy moments including a heavy back pass late in the second half. 

Taylor Allen - 7 (Mixed) 

Stung Grant Smith's palms with a powerful free-kick and blazed another chance over in the first half. Struggled with his delivery at times until his dangerous corner delivery led to a last-gasp equaliser.

Connor Barrett - 6 (Quiet) 

Uncharacteristically quiet going forward down the right and was replaced by Albert Adomah during the closing stages. 

George Hall - 6 (Glimpses) 

Showed glimpses of his quality on his first league start in almost three months but struggled to combine effectively with Barrett.

Jack Earing - 6 (Faded) 

Made a lively impact in the first half and set-up a golden chance for Nathan Lowe with an instinctive through ball but faded after the break.

Liam Gordon - 7 (Instrumental) 

Made a vital challenge to stop Olomola in his tracks before opening the scoring just over a minute later. However, he was unable to prevent Danny Imray from breaking in behind to score Bromley's second.

Jamille Matt - 6 (Moments) 

Had his moments with his back to goal but had a challenging evening against Bromley's towering centre-backs.

Nathan Lowe - 6 (Golden chance) 

Had a great chance to break the deadlock when he was denied one-on-one by Grant Smith but was unable to add to his incredible goal scoring tally.
