Wigan Athletic - Callum Connolly started and was substituted in the 77th minute of 0-1 away defeat to Blackburn Rovers

OS Match Report
"Connolly did shoot on 55 minutes, but Steele saved and Rovers immediately responded with their goal, Emnes curling a shot inside Gilks’ near post from the edge of the box."

Fan comments
"Long kick from the keeper and Emnes controls it cuts in and scores. Very poor from Connolly and Gilks, 1-0 down with Blackburns only clear chance."
"Tunnicliffe and Connolly both been absolutely [Poor language removed] today."
"it was a cracking pass by their goalkeeper collected a timid shot from the ineffective Connolly and played a ball that caught him miles out of position, quick thinking and playing to your strengths."
"That wasn't Connolly. He'd just been involved in the attack at the other end ......... nobody covered for him."
"To blame Connolly for the goal is ridiculous, did what others in front of him wouldn't namely ran with the ball and put a shot on goal. Perhaps if he'd followed powers example and put it over the stand we wouldn't have conceded"

Doncaster Rovers - Conor Grant played full match in 0-0 away draw at Crawley Town

OS Match Report

Grimsby Town - Calum Dyson played full match and scored a penalty in 1-2 home defeat to Wycombe Wanderers
(Apparently another very controversial ref performance, where Grimsby player knocked out, team stop so he can get treatment, referee allows play to continue and Wycombe score.)

OS Match Report
"A second Town corner was headed wide by Pearson at the far post, before Bolarinwa failed to get enough contact on a Dyson cross from the left to turn the ball towards goal."
"Town then had a chance but were denied by a superb double save from visiting keeper Jamal Blackman, who kept the ball out from point-blank range before Dyson eventually hit the side-netting.
The Mariners were then given the perfect opportunity to take the lead when Bolarinwa was brought down inside the penalty area by Wood. Referee Nick Kinsely took a few seconds to consider his decision before pointing to the spot and after the defender was booked for the foul, DYSON stepped up and sent Blackman the wrong way to open the scoring."
"A deflected shot from Wood gave Wycombe another corner on 24 minutes, which was headed away by Dyson"
"before a chance for the Mariners came when a mistake in the away defence saw Dyson take the ball on before playing it to Jones. He never looked to have it fully under control though and with Blackman advancing, the striker shot wide."
"A long throw from Andrew was headed on by Dyson as Town looked for an equaliser but the ball went through to Blackman in the Wycombe goal."

Twitter stuff
14' CHANCES! Calum Dyson has two attempts on goal from good work down the right-wing. Blundell Park applauds good #GTFC play
15' Bolarinwa fouled down the right and Wood is given a yellow card. Dyson to step up for the penalty. #UTM
16' @Calum_Dyson9 slots the penalty into the bottom left corner! #GTFC 1-0 #Chairboys. #UTM
30' CHANCE again! Jones plays it across goal to Dyson but Blackman parries it out for a corner #UTM
36' Dyson heads it clear before deflection off a #Chairboys man leads to a #GTFC throw
85' Dyson plays a neat ball through to Bolarinwa but Harriman is there with a great last-ditch challenge. #UTM

Fan comments
"Thought Sam Jones was very unaware of what was going on around him today which sort of let down Dyson who was excellent first half."
"Some good link up between Dyson and Jones and Bolarinwa causing all sorts of problems."
"Only Callum Dyson has impressed me, he looks to be getting better each week with little quality service to him."
 
Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt - Shani Tarashaj started on the bench and came on in the 77th minute of 1-2 home loss to SC Freiburg

OS Match Report
"Conor McAleny was as close with a 12th-minute shot as James Hanson had been with one at the other end a few minutes earlier; not very."
"The visitors were neat on the ball but rarely threatening in the first 45 minutes as United worked their socks off to contain them and spring forward with Hall and Maguire full of tricks on the flanks and Hemmings always the out ball in front of the deeper lying Conor McAleny."

Twitter stuff

Oxford United - Conor McAleny scored, was booked and substituted in the 78th minute of 2-1 away win over Peterborough United

OS Match Report
"The first chance came after 20 minutes when Rob Hall’s superb first touch took him behind the home defence only for a sliding defender to cut out the pull back as McAleny homed in. McAleny then had a 23rd-minute blast smothered away by former United trialist Ryan Tafazolli"
"McAleny and Hall threw themselves at a Maguire cross a minute later that fizzed between both of them and the gaping net."
"All that was needed was a second and on 71 it almost inevitably came along. Hemmings, non-stop all afternoon, burst clear down the left with men streaming up to his right he, wisely, chose the magnificent Maguire who carried on the momentum before squaring a perfect pass to McAleny who made the finish look easy, as good players tend to do."

Twitter stuff

60' McAleny does well to get the ball to Hall who swings his shot wide from just inside the area.

71' GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL MCALENY BRILLIANT MOVE
71' A great move involving Hemmings and Maguire, who plays it across for McAleny to smash past McGee.

Fan comments
"When Maguire, Johnson, McAleny and Hall all run at defences it is a frightening proposition."
"McAleny 7 - Didn't think he had his best game for us and wasted the ball a little too often. However, right place at the right time for the essential goal."

OS Match Report
"A foul by Dyson on the halfway line gave the visitors another early opportunity to get the ball into the danger zone but the Everton loanee headed the free kick clear."
"Town were playing some good football and a move involving Vose and Dyson led to Osborne getting the ball on the right but his cross did not find a man in black and white.
Dyson then did well to keep the ball in and send over a low cross from the right just after the half-hour but Osborne was unable to get enough on it to turn it towards goal."
