Sonny Aljofree

Aljofree impressed in spite of his Notts County side losing 1-2 at home to Salford City.

He made three clearances and even managed to clear one goal bound effort off the line. He made four tackles in total and blocked one shot.

Aljofree was incredible in his duels, winning all six of his aerial battles and six out of seven ground duels.

Radek Vitek

The Czech keeper also impressed in his first competitive start for Bristol City.

His side came away with an impressive 4-1 win away to Sheffield United. He made five saves in the match, three of which came from shots inside the area. He also completed two successful run outs to clear the danger for the Robins.

Vitek also made two high claims in a towering display for his new side.

Dan Gore

Gore once again got more minutes under his belt, playing the first 63 minutes for his side in their 0-1 defeat to Stevenage.

He only managed to complete eight passes in the match however, and his cross and long ball attempts were not accurate.

Gore also struggled in his duels, losing all four of his aerial battles and only winning one out of seven ground battles.

Ethan Wheatley

Wheatley also failed to impress despite playing 90 minutes in Northampton Town’s 0-0 stalemate with Bradford.

He only made seven passes and failed to have any sort of shot on goal.

Wheatley also massively struggled against the Bradford defence losing six of his eight ground duels and incredibly only winning two out of 13 aerial battles.

Joe Hugill

Hugill once again struggled for Barnet in their 0-2 defeat to Bromley.

He had one shot on target and two shots off it, including missing one big chance.

The 21-year-old failed to link up with his teammates once again, only completing three passes during the entire time he was on the pitch.

Habeeb Ogunneye

Ogunneye was a second half substitute in Newport County’s 2-1 away win over Crawley Town.

He made two clearances and blocked one shot for his team.

The youngster struggled to get forward however, as he only completed two out of his six pass attempts. The 19-year-old found competing in duels tough, winning only one ground and one aerial battle in the second half.

Jack Moorhouse

Moorhouse came on for the final 10 minutes of Leyton Orient’s 2-0 win over Wigan.
