OS Match Report
"Sub Conor McAleny whistled a late effort just wide but on 86 minutes their hearts were finally broken."
Twitter stuff
85' Sercombe right into the action allowing McAleny to get the ball and shoot just wide of Guzan's far post.
90' Great play by McAleny and Ledson to work the ball to Maguire but he can't keep his shot down.
Fan comment
"McAleny looked very useful when he came on."
Championship
Barnsley - Gethin Jones played full match in 0-2 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion
OS Match Report
"Jamie Murphy almost opened the scoring within 60 seconds of the restart, jinking past Gethin Jones but failing to hit the target"
No particular comments about him.
Wigan Athletic - Callum Connolly played full match in 0-0 home draw with Preston North End
OS Match Report
"The second half started at the same breakneck speed, Ben Pearson shooting just wide within a minute of the restart as the visitors too k the game to Latics, who then came back with a spell of their own, Callum Connolly shooting over the bar in the 51st minute."
Twitter stuff
27' Good chance for Connolly at the back post who drags his effort wide of Maxwell's goal. (0-0)
51' Grigg nods the ball down to Connolly right on the edge of the area, and his dipping shot goes just over. (0-0)
Fan comment
"The crossing and corners today were abysmal, Power and Connolly were probably the biggest culprits."
Preston North End - Tyias Browning played full match and was booked in 0-0 away draw at Wigan Athletic

League Two
Morecambe - Anthony Evans started and was substituted in 67th minute of 3-1 away win over Crawley Town
OS Match Report
"It got better four minutes later. Antony Evans fed Mullin down the right and raced unchallenged into the box before sliding the ball through Morris’s legs."
"Lee Molyneux side-footed wide from Antony Evans’ inviting cross and it wasn’t until the last 20 minutes before the home side finally began to threaten."
No particular comments.
Doncaster Rovers - Conor Grant started and played full match in 1-1 home draw with Luton Town
OS Match Report
"It was Rowe again who fashioned the next attempt, Everton loanee Conor Grant played a direct ball into the path of former Peterborough United man, who shrugged off his defender before hitting a left –footed effort, which was deflected just over the crossbar by Hatters captain Scott Cuthbert. "
"Rovers were back on level terms with 10 minutes of the game remaining, a knife-through-butter through ball by Grant was picked up by substitute Alfie May who slotted the ball past goalkeeper Macey to score his first goal in a Rovers shirt."
Twitter stuff
89' Grant bursts forward and is urged to shoot, instead he looks for Marquis but the pass is too heavy. 1-1
Fan comment
"I didn't realise Grant was playing until he took a few set pieces late on. Completely anonymous, other than the assist of course...
so I'll let him off."
Grimsby Town - Calum Dyson played full match and scored twice (one penalty) in 3-0 win over Mansfield Town
OS Match Report
"Jones hit a snap-shot just wide of the near post on 13 minutes, before Jones and Dyson linked up well two minutes later in a move that led to a corner after a ricochet in the six-yard box."
"A good cross-field ball from Osborne found Andrew on the Town left on 23 minutes and the left-back tried to pick out Dyson with a cross but Kean got to it first and claimed a catch."
"The Mariners created an opportunity of their own on 27 minutes when Bolarinwa did well to turn and run into the box. He pulled the ball back for Dyson but the Everton loanee could only scoop his shot well over the bar and onto the roof of the Osmond Stand."
"A Mansfield free kick from near the centre circle came to nothing on 37 minutes, before a foul on Dyson three minutes later earned Whiteman a yellow card."
"Bolarinwa broke over the halfway line and found DYSON on the right, who cut inside, worked an opening and curled a shot past Kean and into the far corner of the net for 2-0."
"soon afterwards, the Mariners were given the opportunity to put the result beyond doubt when Bolarinwa was brought down inside the penalty area and the referee pointed to the spot. DYSON stepped up to power the spot-kick into the net and make it 3-0."
Twitter stuff
26: OVER! Great play by Bolarinwa out wide, his pull back runs for Dyson but he slices his effort over the crossbar
59: GOAL! Dyson breaks at pace, beats a couple of challenges and finishes superbly
72: GOAL! Dyson slots home the spot kick
Fan comment
"Great goal for Dyson, pleased for him (he wins a lot in defence at set pieces too)"
(Those of you in UK can see the goals on Sky Sports match report.)

Thanks for all the time you take to do these updates mate, they are much appreciated.
....more than anything else, it's very encouraging that he was given the responsibility to take the penalty.
An approving fan post said that he grabbed the ball for the penalty, showing his confidence.
...they have to grasp their chance so that is very encouraging. I'm a believer that the lads need to really impress at this level if they are to breakthrough at Everton but it will take a few games for them to settle in.
As @LinekersLegs says, your summaries are much appreciated. I dare say they take a bit of collating but are always great reference material for us. Many thanks.
I saw highlights of the Oxford game, can't help thinking that sending Ledson on a season long loan and McAleny on a permanent deal would have been the right way round, not that Ledson did anything spectacular . Still maybe the permanent move without a safety net to fall back on is what it takes sometimes for a youngster to move forward.
Delial Brewster's loan with Southport cancelled, according to the Echo.
..I dare say we are well covered in his position which makes me wonder if Liam Walsh will be allowed to leave if the right offer comes along.

I've never seen any details of that transfer. No idea what the transfer fee was or whether there was any sell on/buy back clause incorporated. You'd like to think the club was savvy enough to do a good deal for the club.

Don't be saying things like that mate.
..I like the little fella as well, Fred, but he doesn't seem to be near the first team squad.

I thought he was still training with them regularly. Still only 19 and over 2 years left on contract. Having a great season with the under 23s and widely considered one of the best players in that league. Can't see us selling him at this stage. Maybe a year long loan to a championship club will be the answer next season. I was disappointed when Ledson left pre season, but you could sense all wasn't right with him last year. That's not the case at all with Walsh.
..I remember reading something pre-season about Championship clubs being very keen on him and EFC reluctantly agreeing to let him go because of the limited opportunities available to him here. As you say, he's young enough to come through but I would like to have seen him promoted to a match day squad or even taken to Dubai.
