That's a great move for Derby. He has been an integral part of their push up the league. Steve McClaren was quoted as saying that he couldn't understand why Dawkins career had stalled. I guess a mixture of injury and lack of opportunity has held him back. I've been impressed with his performances; he has pace, strength, a good touch and an eye for a pass. He seems to lack a bit of composure in front of goal, although he has scored a couple of crackers during his loan spell.
"Shaq Coulthirst is off to Orient for a month, interested to see how he gets on" If the Os get promoted this season, that is another loan club for the Academy in the league below.
Coulthirst came on in the 84th minute for Orient, got booked and scored his first goal for them. They won 4-0. Mason and Pritchard both started and were later removed as Swindon beat Peterborough 2-1. Ex-Spur Yaser Kasim scored the winner and both Luongo and Byrne featured. Assou-Ekotto and Carroll both played the full 90 as QPR won 3-1 away at Ipswich. The Cameroonian set up the first.
Falque started for Rayo Vallecano, but was subbed in the 63rd minute of their 0-0 draw with Levante Christian Ceballos was introduced as a 58th minute substitute in their game with Braga...and was sent off in the 73rd minute
Coulthirst's goal features in these highlights, as does poor old Chimbonda being ripped to bits: [video=youtube;sy0ImDbcj0U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy0ImDbcj0U[/video] Rather scrappy, but they all count, I guess.
Ryan Fredericks has become Ian Holloway's first signing for Millwall. He has joined on a 3 month loan deal.
Will be tough for him with Millwall as they are currently going, but this is the path the Academy kids have to tread. Any news on whether Pritchard is being loaned up a league ??
It was meant to be positive, Naughton is good cover for Walker and sometimes, when perhaps we shouldn't be going at it hammer and tong, he may even be preferable. Just don't let him play left back.
Clean sheet and a goal. Can't start much better than that as a fullback, really. Hopefully this'll be another successful loan for one of our youngsters to Millwall.
