Young EFC Players Out on Loan 2019-20

[blueloon]

League One
Burton Albion - Nathan Broadhead played full match in 1-0 home win over AFC Wimbledon

OS Match Report
"Nathan Broadhead was soon set free down the right driving a low cross into the box that was intercepted by Nathan Trott in the Wimbledon goal before Boyce could pounce on the edge of the six yard box.
Broadhead took control of a set piece on nine minutes when Templeton was bundled over just outside the box but his curling effort had Trott at full stretch but relieved to see it creep past the post.
Wimbledon briefly broke free of their defensive shackles to generate some pressure around the Albion box but a long ball out from Hutchinson soon picked out the run of Broadhead and he almost profited as Trott and Paul Osew almost got themselves in a tangle at close quarters inside their own box."
"Broadhead at the far post could not quite get there to finish it and give Albion a lead they deserved."
"Broadhead was able to send Edwards away and into the box with his angled shot towards the far post just tipped around the upright by the fingertips of Trott."
"Broadhead was also close to the sought after second goal with a low drive from the edge of the box on 52 minutes as the visitors struggled to clear their lines."
"Dyer was quickly into his stride down the left and he put the ball on a plate for Broadhead on 72 minutes with the young Welshman steering the ball past Trott but also inches wide of the far post from inside the six yard box."

Lincoln City - Callum Connolly played full match in 0-1 away defeat to Portsmouth

OS Match Report
"Michael O’Connor played it into the heart of the box and Callum Connolly was there, but his powerful header from almost on the penalty spot flashed wide of the mark with Craig MacGillivray in the Pompey goal rooted to the spot."

Twitter stuff
7' WIDE! Chance for City as O'Connor's free-kick from the right finds Connolly in acres of space inside the penalty area, but his headed effort is wide of MacGillivray's post.
8' A couple of neat headed clearances from Connolly and Bruno removes the danger from a Williams cross.
10' Portsmouth manage to create an opening inside the City area, but Connolly is well-positioned in the six yard box to remove the danger.
14' Connolly is well positioned inside the area again to remove the danger from another Williams cross, before Eardley and Connolly usher a deep cross out of play for a goal kick.
40' Another important block from Connolly at the near post forces a near post cross behind for Portsmouth's first corner of the game.

Fan comments
"Glad Connolly had a good game, I did think a game where we’re on top would suit him at CB."
"Connolly filled in at CB ok."
"Honourable mention for Connolly who I thought did very well as a CB."
"Connolly -5.5 - a worry, one great tackle but not a natural midfielder nor a natural CB?"
"Connolly - 8.5 - Thought he was superb against some decent strikers. Won headers and dealt with pace well. Couple of nervy moments but to be expected."

Joao Virginia was not in matchday squad.

It’s become apparent over the past couple of years that Connolly’s versatility is both his strength and his weakness. He’s not good enough to push for a specific starting position at PL level but would be a great asset to any Championship/ League 1 club with his ability to cover many positions. He’s a player I’ve greatly admired over the years , never spectacular but always gives his all.

I think he could be very good as the left cb in a 3 at championship level. it would be good for him at this point if he could nail down a position but also be relied on to do a job elsewhere when needed in an emergency.

Josh Bowler was an unused sub for Hull City.
Matthew Pennington was not in the matchday squad.

 

[Albro]

Just watched mini match of Dortmund and Shalke. Kenny near best for Shalke (Stambouli and Harit) probably out did him.

Couple of terrific crosses, 1 killer through ball that Gotze couldn't finish. Defensively completely destroyed Hakimi & Sancho who rotated and later Hazard.

He is enjoying, a really good season.

Championship
Hull City - Josh Bowler started, was booked and was substituted in the 72nd minute of a 2-0 home win over Derby County

OS Match Report
"Bowler curled a shot just over after Grosicki had again elected to pass when a shot may have been the better option, before a first change saw Tom Eaves replace Bowler with 18 minutes remaining."

Twitter stuff
2' - Positive start from @JoshBowler10. The winger takes on his man before forcing a throw-in deep in the visitor's half...
65' - HUGE CHANCE!!! Grosicki is played through by Toral as the Tigers look to punish an error in midfield. He tries to square it for the Spaniard before Bowler eventually sees his shot whistle past the post.

Fan comments
"All really good apart from bowler who was gash"
"Bowler struggled 1v1, we looked much better with Bowen wide."

Derby County - Kieran Dowell started and was substituted in the 68th minute of the same match

OS Match Report

Twitter stuff
33' | Wonderful pass from @KieranDowell1. He finds the run of @TomLawrence99 in behind but he can't beat Long.

Fan comments
"Dowell.. if he’s to play .. is an attacking player who needs to be around the box, he played there for forest , when he played for sheff United he played there so why did cocu and his championship specialist decide that was a good idea ... which unsurprisingly didn’t work"
"Dowell did absolutely nothing for the first half and hour, tossed in a sublime ball for Lawrence and then disappeared again. Like Lawrence, he has a nasty habit of giving the ball away cheaply."
"Dowell...Pah."

League One
Burton Albion - Nathan Broadhead played full match in 0-0 home draw with Blackpool

OS Match Report
"Referee Carl Boyeson was quick to go to his pocket with barely two minutes on the clock when Nathan Braodhead was bundled to the ground bursting through the middle"
"Broadhead was looking extremely lively whenever he got on the ball and he had a sight of goal on 40 minutes with a tricky run across the edge of the box but when space opened up his shot was deflected wide for a corner that the Seasiders were eventually able to get away from goal."
"Albion still had the attacking impetus and Broadhead turned a cross from Fraser just wide on 64 minutes as the Brewers still sought the breakthrough."
"After coming on for Sarkic he stationed himself at the near post for a Broadhead corner glancing it goalwards where Alnwick was in the right place to block instinctively."

Twitter stuff
9. CHANCE. Lovely play down the right as Sarkic sends Brayford to the byline. Excellent pull-back and Turton just manages to knock it behind with Broadhead steaming in and the goal at his mercy.
64. CLOSE! Fraser's low effort from inside the box is drilled at goal but Broadhead, trying to get out of the way, deflects it over!

Fan comments
"What a player Broadhead looks every time he gets the ball."
"Broadhead continues to look thoroughly decent to me"

German Bundesliga
Schalke 04 - Jonjoe Kenny played full match in 0-0 home draw with Borussia Dortmund

Fan comments
General ratings: 'good'
"We should sign Kenny."
"I really fell in love with him today. He toils and runs and has the necessary intensity. I really want to see him play here for years."
"The missing option to buy is very annoying. A player who was convincing at the start without any initial problems and who brings his best week after week. How he keep his opponents in his pocket."
"Schalke is a far cooler club than Everton - there's no way he will want to go back."
"We've just got to set him up with a Schalke girl with blue eyes and white teeth"

Belgian First Division
KC Kortrijk - Fraser Hornby started and was substituted in the 67th minute of a 1-3 away defeat to Royal Antwerp

OS Match Report
"Nathan Broadhead looked for a shooting opportunity but had to feed Boyce on his outside and his shot was blocked by the imposing figure of Wes Morgan charging out"
"before Broadhead launched himself at a cross, heading at goal and forcing Ward into a decent save. The Everton loanee was left in some discomfort from the challenge that meant he wasnt quite able to convert. Ward continued to impress and when Ryan Edwards picked out another Broadhead run into the box the former Liverpoo, youngster was out smartly again to block."

Twitter stuff
18. OFF THE POST!!! Albion on the attack. Broadhead tees up Boyce, his shot deflects up. Nathan tries the overhead kick but it's headed to Scotty, whose first-time effort smacks off the post and behind!!
45. CLOSE! Broadhead gets his head to another Hutchinson whip, and Ward has to rush across to parry behind. Nathan has stayed down after the collision with a defender.
45+2. CHANCE!!! The #Brewers should have one back. Edwards plays a stunning ball in to Broadhead who, under pressure, sees his shot saved well again by Ward. O'Toole's follow-up is over.
