Walsall defender Chris Westwood has backed his team-mates to bounce back from last weekend's defeat by Bury and win the League Two title.

The Saddlers are three points adrift of leaders Hartlepool United with just two games of the season remaining, but Westwood believes the title is still on for the League One-bound side.

"Saturday was disappointing, especially with Hartlepool only drawing on Friday night," he told the club's official website.

"It was our big chance to close the gap but we didn't do that.

"But if you look throughout football that always seems to be the way. When somebody slips up, you go and do exactly the same thing.

"The title is what we're aiming for still but, at the same time, let's not forget what we've already achieved.

"There's still two games to go and Hartlepool are in the driving seat, so nothing has really changed from that point-of-view.

"All we can do is win our last two games and hope that Hartlepool slip up."
