This doesn't apply to Ryotaro Tsunoda, by the way. He seems to be having a strong finish to the season at Kortrijk as they try to escape relegation. Their play-off campaign continues this Friday, not last Friday as I said last week. Apologies for the mistake, clueless.

Same old, same old for the rest although Joel Colwill did get 90 minutes in for Exeter in a defeat at Crawley on Monday. Sub appearances for Ryan Wintle, Kieron Evans and Kion Etete (who had six touches in a 25 minute cameo against Wycombe but none within 25 yards of the Wycombe goal. Bolton have collapsed and fallen out of the play-off race, maybe they should've got an experienced manager like Steven Schumacher in).

No sign of Eli King lately. I'm assuming he's got an injury but it's been a hard season to follow. Most of Stevenage's stuff is behind a paywall and Alex Revell seems to be a slightly random manager so it's guesswork making sense of Eli's progress at times. Saying that, it's a piece of cake compared to making sense of what's happened with Michael Reindorf at Bristol Rovers. Rovers lost another striker to injury on Monday, in another home defeat, but whether that means Reindorf finally comes in from the cold we'll have to wait and see.
With the possible exception of Joel Colwill at Cheltenham at the beginning of the season, none of our loanees have had much success. My Bolton mate said Etete has been truly awful for them! Are we stuck with him again next season?
