Routine looking cup game for York this weekend so he may have been rested anyway, hopefully he won't miss too much league stuff. Always a worry to lose your place though. When Mark Harris went to Newport he started well but had to miss a couple of games after a concussion. While he was out his replacement hit form, Harris struggled to get back in and the loan spell finished early. Can't see a similar issue for Fagan-Walcott though, he seems to be a key player for York.
Kieron Evans got an assist for Newport in their 3-1 loss at Bradford. He put over a superb cross for Kyle Hudlin to nod in the equaliser early in the second half. It led to a slightly awkward celebration as Hudlin is 6' 9" tall and Evans isn't. The cameraman did well to get both their heads in the same shot. Hudlin didn't seem quite sure what to do at first but ended up coming back to pat Kieron on the head which was probably the best option.
As I mentioned in the Academy thread, Ewan Griffiths will miss Plymouth Parkway's FA Cup tie with Worthing on Saturday as he's been called up by Wales u-19s for friendlies in Italy. An honour for Ewan, of course, but I'm sure he'll be sorry it's clashing with his club's big day. At any level of sport they're a bit special. It was always going to be historic for Plymouth Parkway, they've never got this far before in the FA Cup, but now I assume it'll be historic for another reason too as I can't believe they've ever lost a player due to an international call-up before.
Sligo Rovers lost their friendly to Celtic 3-2 last night. Luke Pearce came fourth in the player of the match poll, as chosen by Sligo fans, with 17.8% of the vote. That's something to put on his CV.
