Not much of note from our loaned out players this week but if you're a fan of 1-1 draws then there should be something here for you.
Luke Pearce was the only winner as he came on as a sub in Sligo Rovers 2-1 win over Dundalk. Joel Colwill came up with an unconventional assist as Cheltenham got a creditable 1-1 draw at Chesterfield. He picked up the ball just outside his own area and knocked a long, hopeful ball towards the striker, Arkell Jude-Boye (no, not that Arkell Jude-Boye). He just got a touch on it before the advancing keeper and rolled the ball into an empty net from outside the area.
Raheem Conte seemed to be playing at right back yesterday as he got in 90 minutes for Woking in their 1-1 draw at Fylde, Malachi Fagan-Walcott put in a 7/10 performance as York drew 0-0 at Aldershot and Roko Simic came on in Kortrijk's 1-1 draw at Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Ryan Wintle also came off the bench yesterday as Millwall drew 1-1 at QPR. Ryan won't be able play against us on Tuesday week but maybe he'll be able to tie it in with Erol Bulut's leaving do to make it worth him coming down for the game.
Another 1-1 draw at Barry as Josh Beecher came on for his debut against Caernarfon Town. A few ex-City boys to keep Josh company there; Josh Yorwerth, Ben Margetson, Keenan Patten and the excellently named Rhys Schwank. If Rhys makes it in the game I wonder what his fan club members will call themselves? I'd go with Rhysers myself but there may be better ideas.
Newport players may have been lulled into a false sense of security when they were told they had an away game at the Bluebirds this weekend but, unfortunately for them, they were playing Barrow and they lost 2-0, Keiron Evans got 75 minutes in midfield. That was nine minutes more than Eli King got for Stevenage, also in a 2-0 defeat, at Exeter. A 6/10 performance from Eli but that was as good as anyone in a poor team performance.
Ewan Griffiths got another game in goal for Plymouth Parkway yesterday. They were looking for an improvement on last season's result at Hungerford, a 7-0 defeat. As it was, they managed two improvements as they both scored goals and reduced the margin of defeat in a 9-3 loss so well done them. No specific blame on Ewan as far as I could make out. Two more away trips this week, hopefully he'll get more protection. At least he seems to be getting plenty of practice.
