Loan Sharks Issue 5
It has been a while since I've done a Loan Sharks Issue, yet we still have players on loan and I think it's a decent column to write up all the performances of the loanees.
Roma 2-3 Milan
Alberto Aquilani played the full 90 minutes for AC Milan. In this thrilling game he assisted all three Milan goals as every goal was headed in by each of his crosses. Aquilani continues to shine in Italy and it would no surprise if, come January, Milan look to buy a quality midfielder. On the back of the win, Milan topped Serie A for a few hours, however Juventus won the Derby D'Italia by beating Inter Milan 2-1 at the San Siro. Juventus now top the table with a 2 point lead.
Valenciennes v Lille
Joe Cole came on in the 77th minute to replace Moussa Sow. He played out a draw which sees Lille stay 3rd on 23 points. Cole has seen some fine form recently and remains something of a success at Lille.
Villareal 2-0 Rayo Vallecano
Dani Pacheco came off the bench in the 67th minute to see out a 2-0 loss to Villareal.
The loss leaves Rayo Vallecano in 9th position on 12 points.
Burnley 3-1 Blackpool
Jonjo Shelvey played the full 90 minutes for Blackpool in their loss to Burnley. The midfielder scored a decent goal deep into stoppage time at the end of the second half. He was also booked for a foul on Ben Mee.
The loss sees Blackpool on 19 points and in 13th place.
Bury 1-2 Stevenage
David Amoo didn't feature for Bury as they sank to a defeat. They are 18th on 16 points.
Rochdale 0-2 Leyton Orient
Stephen Darby and Nathan Ecclestone both played 68 minutes for Rochdale in their 2-0 loss to the O's.
Nottingham Forest 0-1 Hull
Peter Gulacsi sat out the 1-0 win on the bench. Hull continue to dominate their away fixtures, losing only 2 of their last 25 away matches. Hull are now 6th on 24 points and occupy a play off position.
Fortuna Dussledorf
Villyan Bijev hasn't featured for the Bundesliga 2 outfit yet.
Thank you, this is good to know, especially about the potential youngsters who could return.
ReplyDeleteBijev apparently has an ankle injury
ReplyDeleteGulacsi is apparently going to play tomorrow v West Ham, but I've been disappointed by his lack of playing time
Amoo hasn't played often for Bury, but has one goal in four appearances, which came in a stretch from September 24th to October 15th. He hasn't played since.
Darby has played 16 games for Rochdale so far, while Eccleston has played only 3. Darby probably could move there on a permanent basis given his age, but Eccleston should be seeing more time.
These are just some observations that I have.
