Atcheson on the bench for Northern Ireland U21 v England U21 (who have Morton on the bench)

Not an outgoing loan, but Beck on the bench for Wales v Turkey

Pretty sure both games are on BBC Iplayer 

Wales game is on S4C.

Markanday tap-in to put Chesterfield 2 up.

Most quality player on the park but fleetingly involved in a game Grimsby have dominated for long spells despite the scoreline.

I'm bored so I'm watching the Bristol Rovers game - it's passing Garrett by. Gent is on the bench, but their LB hasn't pulled up any trees so I don't think we've let the next Ashley Cole leave.

[KentExile]

Starts today for Garrett, Markanday, Batty, Montgomery, Wood, Michalski, & Eastham (who is now on loan in the mouthful that is the Northern Premier League Premier Division until January)

Gamble is on the bench for Fylde

Wood and Markanday have both scored in the first half

Switched to the Notts County / Accrington game.

Batty must be seriously quick because that's twice (both from GK kicks after a corner) that he's been the most advanced Stanley player. They're looking to counter with his speed. 

[Exiled_Rover]

Batty has just scored an own goal for Stanley.

Maybe he seriously improves on this loan, but he looks way off professional football from this display.

Own goal?  Wasn't it McGoldricks?

Keeper had it easily covered - Batty stuck out a lazy leg and redirected it past the keeper. I'm sure they'll give it to McGoldrick, but Batty was clearly at fault. 

[philipl]

Chesterfield had a defender sent off and Markanday was one of those subbed.

Was doing less in the second half .

[KentExile]

Garrett played 90 mins for Bristol Rovers as they lost 2-1 to Barnsley

Markanday scored in a 2-1 win for Chesterfield v Grimsby

Batty was taken off 10 mins from time with Accrington 2-0 down to Notts County

Gamble came off the bench with the game at 2-2, as Fylde lost 4-3 to Yeovil

Montgomery played the 90 mins for Marine as they drew 0-0 with Darlington

Wood scored the 3rd as Annan hammered Stranraer 5-1

Eastham conceded a last minute goal as Ashton Utd lost 1-0

Michalski was in goal for Bamber Bridge who lost 5-1

Always had a soft sport for Annan, i used to shoot there a lot in the late 70s/early 80s.

If anyone has been there, you'll see what a small town/community it is. Similar sort of place as Clitheroe, not much else close by but real friendly community spirit.

Until this loan, I thought it was just Kofi's surname.

Rovers finally confirm that Jalil Saadi has extended his contract as he gets a  lovely Cypriot holiday for the rest of the season.  This one may be a little more difficult to track as they do not seem to have any social media in English that I can find

I still find it strange that he was offered a new deal in the first place. 

Good luck to him.

The only thing that makes any sense is that when he was offered the deal there was a very real chance that due to financial restrictions, he may have been considered as being possibly a cheap squad filler, and since that time, fears over finances have calmed somewhat following sales of Gally and Sammie.   But obviously we have owners that do not seem to operate on any sort of logic which we can fathom, so who knows?

Undoubtedly he was cheap but at 22 I am more concerned that he could have been blocking the progress of a younger player with more potential as there was no possibility he would get near the first team. There are others who fall into this category too a few of whom are already out on loan.

All the best to Saadi and he seems to have made an interesting career move on loan in Cyprus.

However, the decision to contract him and now loan him out looks concerning as to how the club is run. After he was given a new deal, I think the rational thing to have done is to ask Saadi to do a job in the U21s this season to help the youngsters adapt. His versatility, relative experience and French language would've helped a squad somewhat weakened by loans and inevitable injuries. Now that he is off on loan, the contract extension makes even less sense. But, again, best of luck to him and his and his representatives' good fortune.

On good fortune (and, no doubt, effort, having recovered from injuries during his time), I noted that recently released LB, Lenni Rae Cirino came of the bench to replace his brother(?), Rafael, for Montserrat in their defeat to Ecuador. As far as I know, he's not found a club but quite a turn up to have a chance to play international football at that level.

Yes, Rafeal is Lennis brother

Edit - and have just discovered that the Montserrat national team have been managed by Lee Bowyer for the past 12 months

Saadi loaned to Cyprus, that could well be his level.

[KentExile]

Starts tonight for Eastham, Honor & Michalski
