Let’s get stuck into an FA Cup edition of loan watch, although without wishing to give away any spoilers… it might be the last one of the season.
Before we get stuck into that, we have an update on Malachi Linton.
Linton hasn’t been seen in the Taunton squad since playing away at Aveley on the 12th of August – a game he actually scored in.
The Gloverscast has learned that Mal suffered a knee injury which has required more than one specialist’s attention. It remains to be seen if anything more serious is required, but we understand the front man is expecting to be missing for a while yet. Get well soon, Mal.
Right, onto the football.
At Tiverton, the yellows lost in the FA Cup to Wimborne Town. The goal, devastatingly coming in the very last minute. Lewis Williams played in goal, whilst Jacob Shore was back with the Glovers’ Under 18s, his loan spell has come to an end.
Dorchester are also out of the FA Cup, Plymouth Parkway getting the better of the Magpies 2-0.
Ollie Haste played the full 90 minutes, Benjani Jr was introduced from the bench with 15 minutes to go.
Away from the cup, Charlie Bateson was on the score sheet for Shepton Mallet in a 4-0 win over Millbrook. Good work, Charlie!
45| GGGOOOOAAALLLL Bateson collects the ball on halfway, goes past 3 or 4 and beats the keeper with a well placed shot. 0-3. #Towncalledmallet
