Players Out on Loan - Season 2017/18

That's a great finish under pressure. Hopefully he gets plenty of gametime there.

 

Enjoying fronting the match programme yesterday ....




.... Elijah Adebayo came on as a half time sub and his assist helped Cheltenham get a 1-1 draw against Barnet.

 

When Mattias Kait went on loan to Ross County their manager, Owen Coyle, said:

"Mattias is a talented young player who is already a full international for Estonia. I’m delighted to bring him to the club and would like to thank all at Fulham FC for making the deal possible."

The 19 year old went straight into the side on Saturday and helped them defeat Dundee 4-1 - that was Ross County's first win in thirteen games. A lovely through pass from Mattias assisted in the fourth goal.

Not such a bad weekend for the other lads on loan either:

"Stephen Humphrys made his League One debut for Rochdale in their 1-0 away win at Northampton Town. He came on in the 86thminute for Callum Camps. Rochdale stay in the drop zone at 23rd, but those vital three points takes them eight points from safety, and Northampton in 20th.


Also making a winning appearance in League One was Marek Rodák for Rotherham United. The Slovakian faced 7 shots on target and kept a clean sheet in their 2-0 home win to AFC Wimbledon. That makes it three wins on the bounce for the Millers, and their impressive form sees them 10 matches unbeaten, winning seven of those. Rotherham are fifth in the table, 11 points off the automatic spots and four points inside the play-off spots.


In League Two Elijah Adebayo made an appearance for Gary Johnson’s side as Cheltenham Town drew 1-1 away to Grimsby Town. The striker came on in the 62nd minute for Brian Graham. That draw keeps Cheltenham in 16th place, seven points above the drop zone."


Cauley Woodrow didn't make the bench for Bristol City in their 1-0 defeat away to Bolton. The same for Georgie Williams as St Johnstone lost 1-0 away to Hearts. He'll also miss their game tonight against Motherwell, But in Georgie's case it's because he has a "minor injury".

 

Elijah Adebayo on the score sheet again.




He came on at the hour mark and got his goal almost straight away, helping Cheltenham comfortably defeat Port Vale 5-1.

 

And the other lads -

Cauley Woodrow was an unused sub in Bristol City's 3-3 draw with Sunderland.

Marek Rodák continued his fine form in the League One as he picked up his fourth consecutive win when Rotherham beat Scunthorpe United away 2-1. That win also extends the Millers’ unbeaten run to 11 matches and takes them to fifth in the table; 1 point behind Scunthorpe and seven points off the automatic spots.

For one reason or another the rest didn't feature -

Rochdale and that pitch had their match against Fleetwood postponed so a weekend off for Stevie Humphrys. As it was for Mattias Kait since it was Cup weekend in Scotland and Ross County are already out. Georgie Wiiliams is still sidelined up at St Johnstone, who lost 3-0 away to Hearts and Isaac Pearce wasn't in the squad for Bath City's impressive 4-1 win away to Braintree.

 

Well done Stevie Humphrys and Rochdale for taking the game to Spurs.

In case you weren't watching, Stevie played the first 75 minutes in the game earlier today. Hope he enjoys his outing at Wembley

 

Meanwhile, Georgie Williams played his first game for St Johnstone as they drew 0-0 with the 'Mighty' Celtic.





Also up in Scotland Mattias Käit helped bottom of the league Ross County earn another vital point in their hunt to stay in the top division - they've taken four points in the two games he's played.

Mattias played for an hour in the 1-1 draw against Hearts. Still means their 3 points from safety though.

 

The other lads on loan had a mixed weekend -

Marek Rodak kept another clean sheet as Rotherham beat top of the table Shrewsbury 1-0 away. That's 5 wins on the trot and 12 undefeated for his side, keeping them well in the play off spots.

Elijah Adebayo came off the bench but his side still went down 2-0 at home to second placed Wycombe. That means Cheltenham slip to 16th place.

Cauley Woodrow also came off the bench as Bristol City let go of a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at Leeds.

 

A weekend of woe for the lads, except in form Rotherham and young Rodak:


Marek Rodák continued his impressive run with Rotherham United as they extended their winning run to seven in League One in the most dramatic of circumstances.

The Millers looked as if they were about to lose their first match since 2nd December 1-0 as they headed into stoppage time, but a goal from Michael Smith pulled them level in the 93rd minute. Rotherham found the winner 13 minutes into injury-time as Joe Newell scored a penalty with the last kick of the match. That makes it 14 unbeaten with 11 wins, Rotherham are fourth in the league, six points off the play-offs.


Mattias Käit made a substitute appearance in Ross County’s 2-0 loss at St Johnstone on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership. His Fulham teammate George Williams was on the bench for the home side but did not make an appearance.

Ross County stay bottom of the Scottish Premiership, five points from complete safety. St Johnstone move up to eighth, six points above danger.


Stevie Humphrys was an unused substitute in Rochdale’s 1-0 defeat away to Wigan and fall to bottom of League One.

 

However Stevie Humphrys has bagged himself a goal against Spurs at Wembley!

 

Forget VAR think Stevie




Then Stevie hits the post. Half time 1-1.

 

I see Humphrys scored for Rochdale against Rotherham on Saturday who had Marek Rodak in goal.

 

The pair of them were out again at the weekend. Stevie Humphrys didn't score but did okay in Rochdale's 1-1 draw with Wimbledon. While Marek Rodak kept a clean sheet in his side's 3-0 win over Northampton.

MOTM in the fixtures however was Georgie Williams. He had a stonking game in St Johnstone's 1-1 draw against Hibs. That wasn't the only reason for Wee Georgie to celebrate though -

 

With everything else going on this one has gone under the radar a tad. So much so, hadn't realised that Atli Andrason had gone on loan to Víkingur Reykjavik. The young Icelander however sat on the bench at the weekend in his team 's 1-1 home draw to Fylkir.

In Scotland, George Williams played for St Johnstone in their 1-1 home draw to Partick Thistle, being subbed after 84 minutes. The point was quite precious for the Jags since that puts them two ahead of bottom club Ross County. They lost 2-0 away at Hamilton Academicals and Mattias Käit was an unused substitute.

Back down South, Marek Rodák kept goal soundly for Rotherham. Unfortunately they they lost 2-1 away to play-off hopefuls Plymouth Argyle. That's Rotherham's first loss in 5 games however and with one match left they're guaranteed 4th and a playoff place.

Stevie Humphrys was subbed at half time a week ago in Rochdale's 1-1 home draw with Plymouth and wasn't in their squad when they went down 2-1 at Oxford at the weekend. Not sure if he's injured. Worryingly for Rochdale, those results plonk them firmly in the bottom 4 of League 1 and relegation candidates

Meanwhile Elijah Adebayo is back home from his loan to Cheltenham and saw the season out with a game for our U23s in their last match. And Cauley Woodrow seems to have become lost somewhere at Bristol City.

 

Fairly soon the club will be sorting out the goes, and stays,from the above list together with
many others. I would like us to retain Kait Humphrys Rodek, & Woodrow but i suppose it depends on what
division we find ourselves in..

 

Marek Rodák and Rotherham beat Blackpool 1-0 on Saturday in their final match of the regular season. So, the Millers are set to face Scunthorpe away this Saturday in the League 1 Semi-Final Play-Off, with their home leg next Wednesday.


Stephen Humphrys was an unused substitute for Rochdale’s ‘Great Escape’. They beat play off side Charlton 1-0 at home. Those three points meant they finished on 51, one point above neighbours Oldham.


In the Scottish Premier League, George Williams played the opening 71 minutes for St Johnstone on Saturday as they beat Motherwell away from home 5-1. They're sitting comfortably eighth in the league with two matches remaining.


Also in Scotland, Mattias Käit made an appearance for Ross County from the bench in the 82nd minute. The Staggies earned a point in a bottom of the table relegation scrap at Partick Thistle drawing 1-1. They're still in trouble though; two points off Partick and five off Dundee.

 

Marek Rodak is on his way to Wembley.

Marek pulled off some grand saves at crucial points in tonight's game helping his Rotherham side beat Scunthorpe 2-0, to win the play off 4-2 on aggregate.

Rotherham take on Shrewsbury in the League 1 Final on May 27th.

 

Come what may,next season i would love to see Marek return to the Cottage.without
doubt a very talented keeper definitely a class above Button.
We let the very competent Jeronnen leave, hope we don't make the same mistake
with Marak Rodak

 

I think Rodak should be playing Championship football next season. However I hope it isn't with us...

Rodak has the potential to be better than Joronen and Bettinelli. I hope we don't let him leave.

Also Ros, I suspect Button won't be here next year regardless. So no need to worry.
