Another quiet weekend for our loaned out players. Kion Etete and Ryotaro Tsunoda are taking the opportunity to spend time in a different treatment room to ours, Kieron Evans is also out injured, Baylin Johnson was a late sub for Maidstone, Ryan Wintle didn't make the Millwall squad while Michael Reindorf and Jake Dennis didn't get on for their teams. At least the last two got to make their debuts in midweek, Reindorf coming on for Bristol Rovers in a 1-1 draw and Dennis played the whole game for Oldham in another draw, 2-2.

Joel Colwill did play for Exeter today, 85 minutes in a 1-0 win at Cambridge. Their message board wasn't happy with the performance or the direct style of play though. One poster said of Colwill that he's 'yet another exciting attacking player being swallowed up by the amorphous tactical blob that's our football'.

I suppose if I wanted a cheap laugh I could now say 'and talking of amorphous blobs, let's move on to Alex Revell' but I'm way better than that. He's been taking a lot of stick on Stevenage's message board too as their fans are starting to feel he's holding them back. Eli King also got 85 minutes today, and an assist, as Stevenage drew 1-1 with Peterborough.

While our young keeper Joe Thomas was growing up he probably thought he'd always be in the shadow of the Joe Thomas that played Simon in The Inbetweeners. And while that's still true the gap is closing all the time as the latter is now reduced to being chased around a Costa Rican jungle by Bear Grylls while the former helped take Yate Town nine points clear at the top of the Southern League Division One South today. They came from behind to beat Thatcham Town 3-1 in front of a crowd of 173. Okay, our Joe Thomas didn't get interviewed by Holly Willoughby afterwards but it's only a matter of time now, surely.
