 The run of consecutive defeats extended to five during the first two weeks of October . After a 3 – 0 defeat to Accrington Stanley , McCall added two more loan signings to the squad , Nicky Law , son of former City manager Nicky Law , and goalkeeper Rhys Evans . Both played as City lost 2 – 1 to both Milton Keynes Dons , when Barry Conlon scored his first goal for the club , then Morecambe . The run of defeats came to an end when City drew 0 – 0 with Darlington , but the month ended without a single victory after another draw , this time 1 – 1 with Grimsby Town , when Rhys Evans was substituted after 24 minutes for City , and Ndumbu @-@ Nsungu scored a late equaliser following Grimsby 's own goalkeeper Phil Barnes ' red card . Evans ' loan deal was cut short following the injury and he returned to Blackpool after just four games . Young midfielder Joe Colbeck , who had been one of several players McCall wanted to send out on loan to gain first team experience , was loaned out to Darlington for a month .
