Fightback shows Walsall will 'never give up'- Burke

Fit-again Walsall defender Harrison Burke says the manner of their fightback against Chesterfield shows they "are never going to give up" their aim to earn promotion from League Two.

The Saddlers got off to a poor start against the Spireites and were 2-0 down after 20 minutes, before Daniel Kanu halved the deficit before the break and Albert Adomah completed the comeback on the hour.

The result saw Walsall extend their unbeaten run to four games and keeps them seventh in the table, four points above Chesterfield.

"It just shows that we're never going to give up," Burke told BBC Radio WM.

"We've just got to build on that. We can't be starting games like that."

Walsall have the chance to move closer to the top three when they take on Bristol Rovers on Tuesday (19:45 GMT), and Burke is clear what they need to work on after taking a point in each of their past three games.

"We need to turn these draws into wins if we want to be where we want to be," he said.

"You have to stay humble, because our main goal is to make sure we are in League One next season."

Burke was starting his first league game since October at the weekend after knee problems, and was understandably delighted to get through 90 minutes again.

"It's been a frustrating couple of months but hopefully that's the last of me in the physio's room," he said.

"Physically I probably felt the best I've ever felt. I've really put in the work.

"I had to be patient and believe that my time would come - and when it does come make sure I take it.

"It's a really healthy competition [in the squad] and hopefully it pushes me to be better.

"People obviously want to be in the headlines but if it's not you, you don't sulk, you work harder and maybe one day it is you."
