Four Crystal Palace loanees were in action over the past week, with Rio Cardines continuing his excellent run of form for Bristol City.

Cardines registered his fifth assist in as many games on Saturday as Bristol City suffered their first away defeat of the season in Championship, losing 4-1 to Southampton at St Mary’s.

The 20-year-old’s shot-turned-cross from outside the area was cleverly guided into the bottom corner by Zeki Amdouni midway through the second half, with Cardines replaced by Cameron Pring after 77 minutes.

Bristol City host Lincoln City on Tuesday evening (19:45 BST).

Hindolo Mustapha made his third start in four games for Notts County, but was unable to prevent the Magpies from suffering a first defeat since returning to League One, losing 1-0 to Bradford City.

The forward has now started all six games he has been eligible for since joining the Magpies on loan in August.

Mustapha came close to opening his account in the first half, seeing an effort cleared off the line, and will hope to break his duck when County travel to Reading on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Romain Esse featured in two games for Millwall over the past week, starting both their Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United and Championship loss at Blackburn Rovers.

The 21-year-old played 61 minutes in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle before starting Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Blackburn, where he was replaced at half-time.

Esse enjoyed a lively first half, seeing efforts and crosses blocked before going close to finding himself through on goal.

The midfielder has now started all four games since returning to Millwall on loan, with the Lions travelling to Middlesbrough on Tuesday (19:45 BST).

Borna Sosa was an unused substitute as FC Köln drew 1-1 with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

Owen Goodman and Dundee were not in action over the weekend.
