Midweek Loan Watch

Midweek Loan Watch

Here we take a look at how Port Vale’s loanees got on at their respective clubs in midweek.

Chris Neal conceded a goal in each half as Bury were beaten 2-1 by Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.

Luke Williams scored the opener for the Iron and Kyle Wootton got the second before former Valiant Tom Pope netted a consolation for the visitors.

The result leaves the Shakers in 15th place in Sky Bet League One, 12 points above the relegation zone and 12 points below the play-off places.

Colin Daniel made his first start for Mansfield Town since his return from injury as the Stags won 3-2 at Exeter.

The forward played the full 90 minutes as a Ryan Tafazolli brace and a Malvind Benning goal sealed the three points at St James Park.

Sam Johnson kept a clean sheet as Halifax drew 0-0 with Eastleigh in the National League.

A point wasn’t enough to see the Shaymen climb out of the relegation zone, though. With two games to go they remain in the bottom four on goal difference.
