Young EFC Players Out On Loan 16-17

I read some of the reports at half time for the Wigan v Norwich match , Norwich were 1-0 up and by all accounts totally dominant, with Wigan very poor . Pleasantly surprised at their second half comeback, it could be a tough season for young Connolly, but probably just what he needs , nothing like a defender being involved in a relegation scrap to add more maturity to his play.
 
He hasn't played for a while due to injury has he? Maybe he's just being eased in?
Yeah. I was a bit surprised he went out on loan for that reason.

Similar thing to Browning at Preston. Needs to get match fit after that terrible injury and not sure whether Preston would be prepared to persevere if he isn't putting in the performances, in the same way that we would in the U23s.

"Fulham’s pressure paid off in the 71st minute when Callum Connolly was adjudged to have fouled Ayite 40 yards from goal. Johansen side footed the ball across to Denis Odoi, who rifled in a superb long-range effort to Gilks' right."
"Jacobs almost reached a Connolly cross at the far post but it was smothered by Button and then came the killer blow."

OS Match Report
"The goal woke North End and they started to grow into the game; Tyias Browning - on his home debut - collected a cross field ball from McGeady, raced into the box, but fired just wide after 50 yard run."
(Sounds like McGeady had a stormer of a match.)

Twitter stuff

15' Great vision from McGeady who spreads the ball out to Browning. He takes one touch before firing just wide.

Fan comment
"Browning had a great game & looked a threat."

Wigan Athletic - Callum Connolly played full match in 1-0 away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers

OS Match Report
"Wolves did up the pressure in the final ten minutes, but Latics looked strong defensively, and had half chances when Callum Connolly and Grigg had efforts blocked on the break."

Fan comment
"Burn and Buxton have really grown as the season went on, Warnock is pure class and Connolly has fitted in well. Considering what a shambles we were at the back at the start of the season it's a huge turn around."

League Two
Doncaster Rovers - Conor Grant played full match in 1-2 away defeat to Carlisle United

OS Match Report
"Conor Grant's delivery found Alcock, but his header came off Marquis and went safely behind."
"Grant created a great opportunity for a leveller after 42 minutes when he force his way into the area from the left and fired the ball across goal - but there was no one waiting for Rovers."
"A foul on Coppinger provided an opporunity for Rovers after 56 minutes, but Grant's delivery was headed away by Macauly Gillesphey moments after he had been booked as players clashed following the foul."
"Moments later Rowe and Grant had the same effect down the left, but the latter's cross was too close to Gillespie in the home goal."
"May created a great chance for Grant as he surged into the area before feeding the on-loan Everton man, but the midfielder could not control the ball to get a shot away."

Twitter stuff
31' Grant's set-piece finds Alcock whose header seems to ricochet off Marquis and go safely behind 0-0
42' Grant forces his way into the area down the left, he fires the ball across goal but there is no one there to turn it in 1-0
56' Gillespie is then up highest to head away a free-kick delivery from Grant 1-0
68' Rowe and Grant combine well down the left. Grant's powerful cross is too close to Gillespie 1-0
80' May does really well as he surges into the area and feeds Grant, who just can't get control of the ball 1-0
90+6 Rovers work the ball into the area, it is crowded but Grant gets a shot away. It is straight at Gillespie 2-1

Grimsby Town - Calum Dyson started, was booked and was substituted in the 66th minute of 0-0 away draw at Newport County

OS Match Report
"Dyson was booked for a foul on Dan Butler a minute later but again, Newport could not make the resulting free kick count as a set-piece routine led to a cross hitting the side-netting."
"The next chance went to Asante, who was put through by a flick from Dyson."

Morecambe - Antony Evans was an unused sub in their game
 

he'll maybe get a go now after that score last night
I watched the goals last night, initially to confirm it wasn't Griffiths in goal. There were a couple of goals where the GK had no chance, lots of poor defending but he hardly covered himself in glory his positioning was often poor - sometimes when a team gets battered the GK is praised for keeping the score in single figures, can't say that was the case last night. Hopeful Mark McGhee will give him a chance .
 

I had a quick look at Morecambe, Antony Evans started in a3-1 away win , substituted 2nd half, got booked for a bad foul , made a number of other fouls and an assist for the 2ng goal. Nice to see him figuring and putting himself about a bit, as @Eggs says, that's the way to do it!

...I fear he needs to be starting and being a star at that level. Hope I'm wrong because he looks a good footballer but you only truly know when they step up.
