Fan comments
"Connolly and Bishop were finding it tough to get on the ball"
"Some players are more able to cope with the demands of playing in a physical league game after game. Connolly would be given a rest for sure if we actually had any other fit midfielders."

"Dowell - 5 - not one of his better games.....in fact probably one of his worse. He ended up having to do the stuff that Bouchalakis should have been doing."

Crewe Alexandra - Conor Grant played full match in 2-0 away win over Chesterfield
OS Match Report
"A powerful run from Conor Grant down the Crewe right hand side saw him fight tenaciously for possession and keep the move alive. The ball was finally worked into Kirk but Porter had just strayed offside as he tried to race onto his accurate through ball."
"After Chris O’Grady had pinched possession from Tom Lowery, the Crewe midfielder was delighted to see Conor Grant cover to rob it back off Kristian Dennis on the edge of the box. Grant rolled the ball back to Garratt to safely clear the danger."
"Captain Chris Dagnall also went close to adding a third with a late effort after a cross from Grant and a quick interchange of passing."

Seems like Leeds have a habit of putting Pennington on in the 90th minute of games. Very odd.

bringing on a defender to see out the last few minutes? not that odd mate haha
...reports suggest they are keen to bring him in on a permanent deal in January. Apparently he’s a very impressive young bloke, very academic and I can imagine he’s the type a manager likes to have in the squad even if he’s not a regular starter.
Gonna miss the world cup. Poor lad.

He's out for 3 months according to Everton. That means he can still make the play offs in Belgium.
Hopefully these reports are correct.

Speaking exclusively to AOIFootball.com from his base in Belgium, Onyekuru said that medics at Everton have reviewed the Magnetic Resonance Imagery (MRI) results and also the extent of damage to the leg, while clearing that the player and that he will be back on his feet in about six weeks as against the 12-15 weeks earlier reported in the media.
“Everton called for me to come back. They saw the picture of the MRI and they said I won’t need surgery. So hopefully, I will just go through the treatment and won’t need it,” the former KAS Eupen forward said.
The 20-year-old, who has raked in 8 goals this season for Anderlecht, revealed further he would be heading to the UK in three weeks to begin treatment.
“Hopefully, in three weeks I should be in UK for treatment,” he said.

Is he still at rangers? Williams maybe good at the dirty side of midfield play. But not that great at the more important side. I see quite a few Barnsley fans giving him stick, for his technique and how often he gives the ball away.

Don't know mate. Last I heard he was there but no idea now
