The Story in 60 Seconds

Ipswich Town goalkeeper Cieran Slicker made his debut for loan club Barnsley in a 2-1 defeat against Luton Town in League One. The 24-year-old shot-stopper joined Barnsley on a season-long loan in July but missed the start of the campaign due to a pre-season training injury. Manager Daniel Stendel gave Slicker the start at Kenilworth Road over Rogan Ravenhill.

Slicker made several key saves during the match, though the loss marked Barnsley's third consecutive league defeat and extended their winless streak to six matches. The Tykes now sit 22nd in the League One table. Slicker previously spent last season on loan at Barnet in League Two, recording 15 clean sheets across 45 appearances.
