Villa player loan watch

[supertom]

Yesterday's updates:

Steer played the whole game in Doncaster's 3-2 win against Chesterfield.  Johnson played the whole game for Chesterfield.
Donacien played the whole game in Tranmere's 2-1 defeat against Exeter.
Bennett played the whole game in Brighton's 0-0 against Blackpool.  Gardner was on the bench never got on.
Sylla played the whole game in Erciyesspor's 2-1 defeat against Akhisar Belediye.
Preston won 2-0 against Crawley, Robinson was on the bench never got on.

It is actually Akhisar Belediyespor. I had to check it out because I wasn't sure if Sylla's team had been beaten by another side or just one bloke called Akhisar Belediye.

I just took the name off a results website I use that's how they had the name on there, all their names seem made up anyway never heard of half of them lol.

They sound like the sort of name you have with the made up teams on Pro Evo master league.

Last two of the weekend:

Tonev started but was subbed at half time in Celtic's 1-1 with Motherwell.
Verona won 1-0 away at Torino - Luna was on the bench never got on.

Callum Robinson has gone on loan to Preston.

Just shows that the 'Under 21' teams are a load of nonsense. If that system was any good, Robinson would be exactly the age of player to benefit.

He saw the benefit last season and made the bench a fair bit later in the season (and had a few decent cameos) this season he'll get more benefit from some senior games, seems fair to me.

I was watching my local club Polonia Warszawa last week who have been promoted to the Polish third division (I know). During the second half they made a 4th sub and the bloke next to me said that it was possible to make 4 subs as long as one of them is an under-21 player. I thought that was a good rule and would encourage teams to use young players more. In fact I'd keep it at 3 subs but make it that one had to be under-21. Thought I'd share that with you all.

Luna's probably wondering why he's been left out again whilst Tonev readies his next denial.

So after the first month of the season none of our loanees are exactly "ripping it up". Time ticking on their Villa futures...

I wonder why Tonev was subbed at half time? Was he damaging the empty seats in row-Z with his wayward shots?

From the OS

JED STEER played 90 minutes as Doncaster ended their six-month wait for a home win with a thrilling triumph over Chesterfield in League One.

DANIEL JOHNSON also played 90 minutes - but for The Spireites.

Nathan Tyson headed home a Reece Wabara cross before Kyle Bennett lashed in off the crossbar to double Rovers' lead.

Sam Clucas pulled one back for the visitors as he pounced on a rebound, only for Jamie McCombe to score in similar fashion and restore the two-goal cushion soon after.

Eoin Doyle set up a nervy finish with a tap in but Doncaster held on.

The win moved Paul Dickov's side up to 15th in the table, while Chesterfield slipped to fifth.

CALLUM ROBINSON was an unused sub as Preston North End beat former Villa boss John Gregory's Crawley Town 2-0 in League One at Deepdale.

It was their first win in four league games.

Crawley goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown produced a magnificent save to deny Joe Garner, but from the resulting corner Preston went ahead.

Bailey Wright expertly tucked home from inside the area, but the Reds almost provided an immediate response as Dean Leacock hit the bar with a header.

Midway through the second half Garner wrapped up the win, slotting home a penalty after Mat Sadler handled.

JOE BENNETT played 90 minutes while GARY GARDNER remained on the bench as Brighton drew 0-0 with Blackpool at home in the Championship.

The Seagulls, now without a win in four league games, found visiting goalkeeper Joe Lewis in excellent form at the Amex Stadium as he pulled off a string of important saves.

JANOI DONACIEN played 90 minutes in the heart of the Tranmere defence as they went down 2-1 at home to Exeter City.

Jordan Moore-Taylor's superb second-half header was enough to earn the win at Prenton Park.

The visitors took a sixth-minute lead when David Wheeler's lob was only palmed goalwards by Owain Fon Williams for Graham Cummins to head home.

Danny Holmes' deflected shot found the bottom corner from the edge of the box to pull Rovers level on 25 minutes.

But the visitors won it when Moore-Taylor's 69th-minute diving header went in off the underside of the crossbar.

ALEKSANDAR TONEV played 45 minutes - replaced by former Derby and Nottingham Forest forward Kris Commons - as Celtic drew 1-1 at home to Motherwell.

John Sutton gave the visitors a shock lead and should have doubled his tally shortly afterwards when he found himself free in front of goal.

Motherwell were in the ascendancy but Stuart McCall's side could not record a first win at Celtic Park since 2008 as a penalty from Commons levelled matters.

But the point leaves Celtic five adrift of SPL league leaders Dundee United.

YACOUBA SYLLA played 90 minutes as his side Kayseri Erciyesspor went down 2-1 to Akhisar Belediyespor in the Turkish Super League.

Cenk Alkılıç opened the scoring for the hosts but goals from Theofanis Gekas - including one in the final minute - earned the victory for the visitors.

Kayseri Erciyesspor are 15th in the league table, which consists of 18 sides.

ANTONIO LUNA was an unused sub as his side Hellas Verona beat Torino 1-0 in the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.

It was the visitors who came away with all three points, thanks to substitute Artur Ionita's goal.

The hosts had a golden opportunity to take a well-deserved point but a penalty and rebound save by Verona goalkeeper Rafeal from El Kaddouri meant Verona continued their unbeaten start to the season in Serie A.

NICKLAS HELENIUS came on as a sub for 23 minutes as Aalborg went down 6-0 to Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League on Thursday.

Goals came from Lucian Sanmartean, Raul Rusescu [2], Claudiu Keseru [3].

They travel to Vestsjælland in the Danish Super League tonight.

I like that... a lot. Forces the use of some youngster being picked on the bench. I would definitely instantly include it for extra time, I've always wanted an additional sub for then anyway.

Looks like Herd is the next one to go out on loan to Bolton for a month:

Fairly decent move for him. Don't think we'll ever see him in a Villa shirt again.

I don't either, to be honest I think the majority of the ones out on loan we won't see again.

One update from this evening:

Helenius played the whole game in Aalborg's 1-0 defeat away to Vestsjaelland.

[Richard]

Bennett can come back and be competition for Aly next season, I worry about Gardner if he can't even get on the pitch at Brighton, the rest can disappear for good apart from the youngsters just starting out like Robinson

[edgysatsuma89]

Why do they bother going into such detail about games where our players didn't play? I know i don't give two shits if they haven't taken part. In fact even when they do just tell me our player was amazing. That'll do.

[Matt C]

Herd hasn't played competitive football in an age so a loan move seems sensible for him.
