C:WindowsTempphp2955.tmpThere's probably been a thread on CCMB at some point asking what's the longest headed goal by a City player. I'm not sure what the answer is but Joel Colwill scored one from beyond the penalty spot yesterday for Cheltenham as they won 3-1 at Rotherham to progress in the FA Cup. It was the second goal for him and Cheltenham now go to Salford in the next round.

Eli King played for most of Stevenage's win on penalties against Guiseley, they face Mansfield next up, but Kieron Evans and Malachi Fagan-Walcott are out having played in defeats for Newport and York respectively. York lost 3-2 at Wycombe but Newport threw away a 2-0 lead at home despite a bizarre incident when a Peterborough corner went in via the Newport defence only for the ref and linesman to decide between them that another corner should be given in that situation rather than a goal. So many rules, it is hard to keep track of all of them, to be fair.

Second half appearances for Josh Beecher and Roko Simic this weekend in heavy defeats for Barry and Kortrijk (I used to know a guy called Barry Kortrijk once, or did I dream that? I dreamt I bought a horse once so it's probably the latter). Ryan Wintle came on for Millwall in their win over Burnley while Raheem Conte was back for Woking in their cup defeat by Cambridge. Raheem livened up the tired old 'subbed' or 'came on as sub' routine by doing both in the same game. He came on in the 22nd minute then was subbed in the 84th.

Luke Pearce finished his spell at Sligo on Friday with a couple of missed chances in a 2-0 home defeat. He took time to establish himself there but ended the season as a regular starter, it will interesting to see how he fares here on his return.
