Raheem Conte / Malachi Fagan- Walcott / Joel Colwill / Eli King

York's run of clean sheets was ended by a superb Raheem Conte cross being nodded in to give Woking the lead before York equalised with a penalty in the 81st minute. While Conte also had a penalty appeal turned down it wasn't Malachi Fagan-Walcott's best 90 minutes but the 1-1 draw means York are unbeaten in eight.


Wales u-21's game coming up this Friday:

Joel Colwill who had an amazing start with struggling Cheltenham has now dropped to their level and dipped.

And Eli King at Stevenage doesn’t seem to be quite firing on all cylinders but they both started two games this week.

It's quite common for loan spells to start well and then tail off a little as the packed schedule starts to take its toll and that seems to be happening a bit with Joel at the moment and the standard is very low . A good midweek win for Cheltenham was followed by a defeat at Barrow yesterday and Joel was subbed late on.
Personally I would bring Joel back in January ASAp.


Eli King has been back in the Stevenage team that had the same home win - away loss run as Cheltenham and he was subbed both times, after an hour yesterday. There was criticism of him yesterday that most of his passes were sideways or backwards. No need to try and impress Bulut with that stuff now Eli, he's gone.

“ Josh Beecher / Ryan Wintle / Striker Roko Simic / Kieron Evans “

Sub appearances for Josh Beecher at Barry United and Ryan Wintle at Millwall this weekend but no pitch time for Striker Roko Simic at Kortrijk. He's only made three appearances so far and has played around two hours football so the claims by some on here that he was a Championship-ready striker seem a bit wide of the mark at this stage. No game for Luke Pearce's Sligo this week, they play a friendly against Celtic on Wednesday.

Cup fever has hit Plymouth Parkway as 253 turned up to watch their 3-2 win over Banbury in the FA Trophy yesterday. Next week sees them try and make the first round proper of the FA Cup with a home game against Worthing. All good experience for Ewan Griffiths, he's there at the right time. If anyone is planning on watching Plymouth Parkway, they play at Bolitho Park. If you want to make a day of it you can have your ear wax removed at the Honicknowle Pharmacy, it's only a 28 minute walk from the ground.

Last but not least this week, Kieron Evans has run into a bit of form for Newport. An assist in the 3-1 win over Salford in the week capped an excellent performance as he formed a good partnership with full back Cameron Evans up the right flank. Next up for Newport is a televised game on Sky at Bradford tomorrow night.

Conte is a real gem. I hope Riza & Co. realise that..

Another Cardiff City player that was sent out on loan is Luke Pearce aged 20 in July to Sligo Rovers.

Luke Pearce made his league debut for Sligo Rovers as a late sub the other night and scored the second in a 2-0 win over Galway.


U21 Manager Darren Purse:

“This is a great chance for Luke to go and play some men’s football.”

“When these opportunities come up, I’ve always said that it’s not all about the U21s team, it’s about what’s best for each player’s development. I think this is the best decision for Luke to go out and gain experience, comeback and hopefully go in to the first team squad.”

None of them are up to it
