Peterborough United deadline day departures Joe Tomlinson and Kabongo Tshimanga made debuts at new clubs on Saturday.

Tomlinson came on with MK Dons level at 1-1 in a League Two fixture at Crewe, but the Railwaymen went on to win the game 3-1. MK were knocked off the top of the table as a result.

Tshimanga came on for Fleetwood when they were 2-1 down at Charlton in League One and that’s how that game finished. Ex-Posh man Ryan Broom assisted on the Fleetwood goal.

Former Posh boss Steve Evans continues to work minor miracles at Stevenage in the third tier. His team won 3-0 at Leyton Orient to move into third place. Two of the goals arrived from Dan Butler set-pieces.

Former Posh skipper Tommy Rowe was sent off in the first-half of a League Two match between Doncaster and Swindon for a high boot. Grant McCann’s Rovers held on for a 0-0 home draw, but they remain bottom of the entire Football League with two points from six matches.

Matt Godden saw a penalty saved in the first-half, but rescued a point with a late leveller in Coventry City’s exciting 3-3 home draw with Watford in the Championship.

Former Posh youth prsopect Flynn Clarke has joined National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan from Norwich City.
