Good afternoon Redmen,

7 games, 7 wins. If this continues I will need to take a page out of Kolo Toure's book and start phoning people and asking what it feels like to lose!

If its 9 in 9 by the time I write the next loan report I will eat my (metaphorical) hat.

Talking of the loan report, heres how the loanees got on this weekend.

Danny Wilson made his return from injury midweek with a late Cameo against Blackburn. However his first start since injury came this weekend against Brentford.
After going one goal down Wilson drew the Rams level finishing off a counter attack the reds would be proud of.
Wilson's goal was a pivotal moment in the game as Derby went on to win the clash 3-1.

The ever present Herbie Kane registered his first assist of the season as Doncaster beat Bradford 2-1.
In the 52nd minute Kane slid a perfectly weighted through ball into the path of John Marquis who duly finished what turned out to be the match winning strike.

Building on his strong performance last weekend Karius again played a key part as Besiktas beat Sarpsborg 3-1 in their Europa League opener on Thursday night.
Last Night Besiktas faced Fenerbache and despite taking the lead they were unable to hold as they game eventually finished 1-1.

The rumours are true, Allan Rodrigues really did go on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt and now we have the proof to confirm it.
Coming off the bench in the second half Allan played for 20 minutes at Frankfurt drew 1-1 with RB Leipzig.

Marko Grujic continued his strong start to life in Germany as he made his third successive start for Hertha Berlin.
Berlin beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-2 but the day was dampened as Grujic was forced off late with an injury.
It was later confirmed via social media that Grujic had suffered ankle ligament damage and now faces a spell on the sidelines.

Ojo made his first start for Stade de Reims but was subbed after an uneventful hour as they drew 0-0 with Dijon.

Awoniyi returned from the wilderness this weekend and was placed on the bench as Gent faced Club Brugge.
He was brought on for the final 20 minutes as Gent were already 2-0 down, his introduction however did not have the desired effect as Gent went on to lose 4-0.

Arroyo also on loan at Gent made his first start for the clubs under 21's asthey drew 2-2 with Sint-Truiden.
Arroyo played the game at left back.

Ryan Kent's growing influence at Rangers continues as he started 2 more games back to back.
Firstly in the Europa League Kent produced a solid display both offensively and defensively as the Gers got a respectable 2-2 draw away to Villarreal.
Then domestically at the weekend Kent was a key figure as the Gers dismantled St Johnstone 5-1.

Ejaria made his return from injury this weekend playing the last half hour of Rangers victory over St Johnstone.

Adam Bogdan kept a clean sheet for only the second time this season as Hibs beat Dundee 3-0.

Corey Whelan made his second successive start as Crewe lost 1-0 to Port Vale. He was booked for his troubles.

Danny Ings was ineligible to play against Liverpool this weekend as the Champions elect beat saints 3-0.

Ben Woodburn and Shamal George were unused subs for their respective clubs.

And that's your lot.

Cheers Carra. Just want to add that (correct me if I'm wrong) Karius got MOTM against Fener, and I think I speak for most Reds that I'm glad he's bouncing back really strong.

Thanks for that carra. Wilson is going to be a star. Ryan Kent is a decent little player too, glad it's clicking for him up north and I'm glad he's playing in Europe. I seem to remember him tearing bayern back 4 apart a couple of years ago.

Hi zpecialone,

That's great if he did :) I wasn't aware of that in the report I read.

Good read that carra. Just as good as one of your crunching tackles back in the day.

Glad that Marius seems to be doing well! Don't see a way back at LFC for him now though - does that loan deal have a purchase clause at the end of it?
