Centre back Alex Whitmore played the 90 minutes for loan club Morecambe as they maintained their excellent start to the League 2 season with a 3-2 win over Accrington Stanley at the Wham Stadium, alongside former Claret Luke Conlan.

Josh Ginnelly, yet to make his Football League bow, was again an unused substitute as Walsall drew 3-3 at home to Bury in League 1.

The young wideman made his Saddlers debut in the first round of the EFL Cup earlier this month against Yeovil.
