Best of luck to him. He has earned the move and now has a great opportunity to show what he can do.

Chris Casper seems to be proactive at getting decent loans and development of our rising stars seems to be going well

Decent move and should fit in, going to a young squad who are slowly moving up the table with Holloway at the wheel.

63' Substitution, Swindon Town. Joe Westley replaces Tom Nichols.

BBC website states.....

Ghosts of the past haunting Newport
Joe Westley - who had only signed on loan for Swindon from Burnley yesterday - was greeted by the standard 'Who are you?' chants as he came off the bench on 63 minutes.

Unfortunately for Newport, it's a name they should know well. The 20-year-old's father, Graham, was Newport manager back in 2016 before being sacked with the side bottom of the Football League.

He scored 12 mins in to his EFL debut, great way to introduce yourself! Hope having a good start means he has a really productive loan spell.

I’ve only seen him play when the Under 21’s have been streamed, but he looks the real deal to me. He could be one who really does make it to the first team, he reminds me of a young Ray Pointer.

The highlights of the game are on Sky now, Westley's goal at around 1 min 35 seconds. Gets himself in another attacking incident highlight 1.55.

Great start for his loan spell.

I see League 2 has some big centre forwards.

Newport's Hudlin is 6' 9" whilst Swindon's is a titch at only 6' 5". Both scored with their feet.

I’ve seen Hudlin live - seemed pretty hopeless
