On Saturday afternoon, Josh Keeley and Jamie Donley's Leyton Orient side were in action at home to newly promoted Wrexham, whilst Matthew Craig's Barnsley side also hosted a newly promoted side, with Stockport County traveling to South Yorkshire.

The game for Orient was at 15:00 BST, with Donley back in the starting lineup after a game or two on the bench. The Spurs youngster played as a right forward in Richie Wellens 343 setup, with former Spurs academy player Dominic Ball playing close in midfield. Donley was withdrawn after 70 minutes for Jordan Graham.

Whilst there were no minutes for Josh Keeley, he was at least in the matchday squad, unlike in previous games, and for the first time since making his debut against Brentford in the Carabao Cup. He started that game, so this was the first time he had been on the bench for Orient. Zac Hemming did keep a clean sheet and scored 14 goals in 7 games prior to the game, so may be a minute before he can take his place in the side. A step forward nonetheless.

Meanwhile, Barnsley's game was a 19:45 BST kick-off, with the game being played in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Craig started the game, playing on the left of a midfield three as Darrell Clarke set up in a 352 formation for this encounter. Ashley Phillips had given the Tykes the lead with a penalty in the fourth minute, but Louie Barry equalised for the visitors in second-half stoppage time and the points were shared.

The draw for Orient leaves them 18th in the table, with eight points, all accumulated from their last four games. As for Barnsley, the late leveller leaves them 6th in the table, with 14 points. Had they held on for the win, they would be in third.

Next up for Orient is a home game against Exeter City in League One on Tuesday night, 19:45 BST kick-off. Next up for Barnsley is a home game against Wycombe Wanderers, also a League One game on Tuesday night, and also a 19:45 BST kick-off.
