Blues keeper Cieran Slicker made his league debut for loan club Barnet but couldn’t prevent the Bees from falling to a 2-0 defeat to Bromley at Hayes Lane in League Two, however, the Scotland international impressed manager Dean Brennan.

Slicker joined the North Londoners earlier in the week having made only two senior cup starts and one brief sub appearance - the latter his only domestic game last season - for Town since joining from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, in addition to three cup games for Rochdale during a loan spell there in 2022/23 and his international debut with Scotland in the summer.

Despite the defeat, Barnet boss Brennan was pleased with the 22-year-old’s display against the Ravens, who the Blues travel to face in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

“I thought he was good, strong, came and collected things when he had to. Made a fantastic save,” Brennan said.

“Did really well when he stood up in a one-on-one situation and forced the player to reverse it wide.

“I thought he was solid, really solid. He’s a high calibre goalkeeper, I think he’ll do well for us.”

Elsewhere, ex-Blues forward David McGoldrick, 37, scored a 93rd-minute winner for League One Barnsley as the Tykes came from 2-0 down to beat Burton Albion 3-2 at Oakwell.

armchaircritic59 added 00:02 - Aug 10 Really good to hear, young guy who could have a really good future. Forget all that hubub about his Scotland debut. Hardly any football anywhere, then thrown to the wolves. I wish him the best of luck, might be back here in a more senior capacity some time.

Bluewhiteboy added 13:32 - Aug 10 Let in a one on one (got beat on another put striker some how put it wide) and the first the ball comes in centre of goal. Both a gold keeper saves, don't get me wrong defence hasn't helped. Now If those goals were conceded by muric the worlds against him!
