Re: Loan Report

How many has he scored for the 21's?

9 now I think, not including friendlies.

They still seem to be giving him our second goal against Cardiff Met. It was gloomy that night and I'd forgotten my glasses but even Mr Magoo could have seen it was an own goal, the keeper punched it straight into the defender. The winner was worth two anyway so I'll take nine.

Tonight's seems to be his first goal away from Leckwith, which is odd.

is that 7 in the Nathaniel MG cup?

Yes. So he's done better against men's teams than u-21s, which is odd too.

We've been drawn away to Aberystwyth in the semi-final of that, by the way.

Joel Colwill scored both of Cheltenham's goals as they are up 2-1 at Rotherham in the FA Cup at halftime

I’ve seen a few highlight rolls of their games this season and Joel seems to play with a lot of freedom and movement. He definitely needs to be in our squad next season.

Re: Loan Report

There's probably been a thread on here 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.

You’ve got to be pretty ancient to remember it now, but Brian Clark’s goal against Millwall in December 1968 has to be his second most memorable header he scored for us. Clark headed a goal kick from Millwall keeper Bryan King back into the net. It’s a goal I can remember pretty well because it was so unusual and because it happened right in front of me in my usual place in the Boys enclosure at the front of the Grange End. Clark had to be eighteen yards out at least that day and my not exactly reliable recall is that it was five or six yards further than that.

One other thing, I really do hope that Scott Parker’s career never hits the rocks badly enough for him to consider coming here - he’d make Bulut look like Bielsa!

Re: Loan Report

A quick update on our loaned out players. Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since the last one but Mike thought it would be a good idea to put it behind a paywall and see how it went. He's £1.63 up on the deal (and seems worryingly happy about it) but I've told him I'm a man of the people and need to stay in touch with my loyal (but obviously poverty-stricken) fan base so here I am. I can't reveal what you've missed I'm afraid so if you want to know about Malachi Fagan-Walcott's concussion, Kieron Evans' one minute cameo against Tranmere or Eli King's penalty in the extra point shoot-out against Gillingham in the EFL Trophy then you may have to die wondering.

Bad weather played havoc with the weekend fixtures but Joel Colwill made hay while the sun shone last night (or was that floodlights?) as he scored the only goal of the game for Cheltenham against Tranmere in the 89th minute. He was the game's outstanding player but manager Michael Flynn wasn't expecting Joel to come up with the winner after some ropey efforts earlier in the game. This is something I've noticed about him too, he does seem to rely on the law of averages for his goals rather than being a natural finisher but it was a good one last night and he's chipped in with a few this season so credit where credit's due.

York went back to the top of the National League today with a 4-0 win against Yeovil. Malachi Fagan-Walcott put in an 8/10 performance and came up with an assist for the third with a through ball. York are just ahead of Forest Green and Barnet, who beat Woking 2-0 today. Raheem Conte came on as a sub for Woking.

No pitch time for Eli King today but Kieron Evans got a full game in as Newport drew 0-0 at Notts County. Ryan Wintle didn't get on for Millwall while Barry and Plymouth Parkway's games were postponed. Roko Simic's barnstorming season for Kortrijk (143 minutes in 3 heavy defeats and a draw so far) continues at Westerlo tomorrow.

I'd missed this article from the start of the month. Looks at Simic's problems and other loan related stuff.

Be interesting to see what happens to him in January.
