If anyone wants to take over the coverage of the loan players for the next week, it would be appreciated as I'm going to be unable to do much computer-related stuff during that time.
I'll try to help, though I won't be anywhere near as good or as quick! If anyone else wants to split it and take a few players each, great - if not I'll do my best.
 
Pennington getting nothing but abuse from Leeds fans online, including blame for both goals. David Brooks that we've been linked with got the winner for the Blades.
 

Championship
Leeds United - Matthew Pennington played full match in 1-2 home defeat to Sheffield United

OS Match Report
"Leeds had numerous free-kicks, but were unable to really test Jamal Blackman in the visitors goal, before Matthew Pennington lost possession to Clarke and he teed up Sharp who was only denied by a super save from Lonergan."
"Clarke won a free-kick when he collided with Pennington and it was taken quickly, Sharp beat the offside trap, but Lonergan made an amazing double save to ensure the teams went in level at the break."

26' Matthew Pennington loses possession to Clarke, he breaks and tees up Sharp who is only denied by a super save from Andy Lonergan 0-1

Fan comments
"Don't rate pennington either constantly losing his man at set pieces and crosses"
"our defence just never looked solid, an out of form Ayling, an unatural left back, and an inexperienced Pennington and an erratic at best Cooper vs 2 experienced Championship center forwards."

(...now I really am gone...)

"Unbelievable engine Joe"
"Joe Williams best game for us today. Cracking display, the kind of player we needed today"
"Do like the look of this Williams every time I see him"
 

Great to hear Joe Williams is performing well. I remember an interview he did a couple of years ago where he said 'I will be an Everton player' not like some who hope to make it, shows he has the determination and I think he has a good chance of being given a go in the first team squad.

Not the most technical, but highly thought of at Everton I'm sure other posters have said.

of all our loanees in the championship, he seems to be the one making the most of the opportunity
 
Kieran Dowell’s hat trick for Forest in their 3-2 win will rightly grab the headlines of our players on loan this weekend. This was Dowell playing at his best , getting involved all the time which has been a criticism of him before. Not tonight . He was excellent , just one game and he needs to perform at this level regularly, but the promise was there for all to see not just in the goals but in his movement and passing. I’m sure someone will post the goals, but try and watch them on one of the Championship Goals shows.
 
Bits and pieces on Dowell from the Yorkshire Post.

On the day England’s Under-17s won their World Cup, a young Everton midfielder who helped the nation’s Under-20s win their equivalent tournament earlier this year, scored a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest ended Hull City’s mini-revival.

Kieran Dowell, on loan from Everton, delivered a finishing masterclass to bring a halt to Hull’s run of seven points from their previous three games.

But they were susceptible to Forest’s movement on the break, falling behind on 29 minutes when Dowell - who played in the England Under-20s team that defeated Venezuela in the World Cup final in the summer - ran at the heart of a retreating home defence and lashed the ball beyond Allan McGregor from 20 yards.

Moments after Fraizer Campbell saw his header cleared off the line by Jason Cummings, Forest got a second on 71 minutes when Dowell fired home off the inside of a post from Barrie McKay’s cutback.

But Forest went straight back up the other end and struck a third, Dowell completing his hat-trick from the spot after David Meyler had tripped substitute Tyler Walker.

Verdict

A frantic last 20 minutes to an otherwise forgettable game. Kieran Dowell was the difference. Hull showed urgency towards the end and credit to them for hanging in there and fighting, but it came too late.
