Loan Watch | November 2024
Will Jenkins Davies and Torquay United are in red-hot form, moving to third in the Vanarama National League South, one point behind Truro City at the top.
The young midfielder rejoined the Gulls on loan in September and is finding his feet at Plainmoor again, scoring three goals in his last two matches.
The first of his goals came in a dramatic 4-2 home win over high-flying Weston-super-Mare, before a brace against Enfield Town.
Torquay got through the month unbeaten, closing in on top-spot and advancing to the third round of the Isuzu FA Trophy.
Ben Waine’s Mansfield Town side suffered a tough November in the league, losing 1-0 in all three of their league matches during the month.
Two of the losses came against the top two in the division, Wycombe Wanderers and Wrexham, but their run of form has seen them drop from the play-off places, to 10th.
The Stags will feature in the Emirates FA Cup third round, however, after victories over Curzon Ashton and Stevenage.
Waine scored in the first of those, a 4-0 win at Tameside Stadium, after coming on as a substitute in the second half.
The forward scored his eighth international goal during the month - fittingly - in an 8-0 FIFA World Cup qualifying win over Samoa. The All Whites face a four-team play-off in March, with the winners qualifying for the Finals in 2026.
Saxon Earley featured once for Lincoln during November, as a substitute, in their FA Cup first round win over Chesham United. The Imps will also feature in the third round.
Jack Matthews made three league appearances for Taunton Town during the month.
The defender started twice, in draws with Bracknell Town and Dorchester Town, and came off the bench in a 1-0 away win against promotion-chasing Walton & Hersham.
Taunton are 14th in the Southern League Premier Division South.
Just two points and three places behind Taunton are Tiverton Town, where Zak Baker and Josh Bernard are currently on loan.
New manager Rob Dray handed Bernard two starts in November, the latter coming in a 1-0 win over Walton & Hersham, as Tivvy moved away from the drop zone.
Baker, however, suffered an injury at the start of the month that has kept him sidelined since.
