Cristian Montano was the hero for Notts County as his impressive loan spell at Notts County continued with a 2-1 home victory.
The homegrown Hammer struck in the 66th minute to give the Magpies all three points against Walsall in a spirited League One encounter. Montano has now struck three goals in six matches for Martin Allen's men, with his initial one-month loan extended into October.
Jordan Spence played the full 90 minutes for Championship side Bristol City, where he is on a season-long stay, as they went down 1-0 at home to high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion.
Elsewhere, Callum McNaughton made his League Two bow for AFC Wimbledon and promptly helped them secure a 1-1 draw at Aldershot Town, the team he made his Hammers debut against last month. Jordan Brown was an unused substitute for The Shots.
Also in League Two, Olly Lee played the full 90 minutes as Dagenham & Redbridge lost 3-1 away to Rotherham United. Finally, Ahmed Abdulla did not get off the bench as Paolo Di Canio's Swindon Town won 2-0 at home to Southend United.
