Loan Report: Goodman keeps milestone 20th clean sheet - News

Starting in League Two, goalkeeper Owen Goodman made two saves and kept a clean sheet in AFC Wimbledon’s 1-0 win over Harrogate Town at Plough Lane on Saturday.

This brought his tally up to a remarkable 20 clean sheets across all competitions in 2024/25, with 19 in League Two and one in the FA Cup, an astounding record.

He has the most clean sheets in the fourth tier and is now joint-third overall for most clean sheets in the EFL, behind Premier League-chasing Illan Meslier and James Trafford.

Goodman also featured in midweek against Swindon Town, making six saves, but the Dons were edged out by two late penalties.

Fellow goalkeeper Joe Whitworth also made six saves in midweek as Exeter emerged 2-1 winners against Barnsley, though they couldn’t follow this up on the weekend against Stockport County as the Grecians fell to a 2-0 defeat.

Elsewhere, wing-back Tayo Adaramola kept another clean sheet for promotion-chasing Bradford City in their 2-0 win over Crewe Alexandra on the weekend.

This was the second clean sheet in three games for the Bantams, which saw them go top of the fourth tier on goal difference - ahead of Port Vale, who they ironically lost 2-0 to on Tuesday. Adaramola played 45 minutes in this clash, but Jemiah Umolu did not feature for the Valiants.

Sticking in League Two, fellow wing-back Danny Imray also kept a clean sheet for Bromley, albeit playing as a right-winger. He played 78 minutes in a resounding 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley on the weekend, building on a full 90 minutes he earned in midweek against Newport County in a 1-1 draw.

This was Imray’s third consecutive start after recovering from an injury that kept him out for a month. Also on the mend was Asher Agbinone; the winger made a return to action for Gareth Ainsworth’s Gillingham as a late substitute in their 2-2 draw with Colchester after nearly two months on the treatment table.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi earned minutes off the bench for Sheffield United, playing half an hour in their narrow 1-0 defeat to Oxford United on the weekend. Rob Holding was an unused substitute in this game.

In Scotland, Jeffrey Schlupp featured in a fifth consecutive start for Celtic in their penultimate game before the Scottish Premiership split. He managed 45 minutes in a narrow 1-0 defeat to St Johnstone.

Midfielder Killian Phillips was also in action north of the border, making his 29th consecutive start for St Mirren. The Irishman managed 71 minutes as the Paisley-based side fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Dundee.

Jadan Raymond made his first start for Queen’s Park on the weekend, after featuring off the bench for 20 minutes against Airdrieonians. Much like Schlupp, he managed 45 minutes before being substituted against Livingston.

Finally, in Ireland, Séan Grehan helped Bohemian to a 4-2 win over Silgo Rovers, where he played the full 90 minutes.
