Walsall boss Mat Sadler told BBC Radio WM:<\/b><\/p>\n

“I thought their striker [Makama] was absolutely amazing on the day, he was too hot for us to handle unfortunately. <\/p>\n

“He’s someone I’ve liked and known of for a long time, and you can see he’s going to go on and have a really good career.<\/p>\n

“I thought we started quite brightly and then just a few punches on the nose later, before you know it, a couple of mistakes later and you’re 2-0 down. That made it really tough for us.<\/p>\n

“At that point, you’re trying to get some pressure on the ball but knowing as soon as we’re getting pressure on the ball, we’re getting played around on this day.<\/p>\n

“Fortunately we don’t come up against opposition like this too much during the season, they’re very different games in our League Two schedule.<\/p>\n

“Credit to the lads for the journey we’ve been on in this competition, and to supporters who have travelled to Eastleigh, Gateshead and then here. <\/p>\n

“We didn’t get that big home tie and when you come away to a Championship team, it’s always going to be very difficult.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
