Dion Sanderson - Birmingham (Championship)
Played the full game in Blues’ 2-1 defeat at Colin’s Huddersfield. Seven points from the relegation zone….
Ryan Giles - Middlesbrough (Championship)
Played the full game at home to QPR and helped them to a 3-1 win, although still no goal contributions. He did swing in one wicked corner that almost dropped in, though.
Luke Cundle - Swansea City (Championship)
Played an hour of Swansea’s 1-0 defeat at Blackburn.
Matija Sarkic - Stoke City (Championship)
Played in a 1-0 defeat at Blackpool and got unlucky with a heavily deflected shot for the goal.
Nigel Lonwijk - Plymouth Argyle (League One)
Played the full game in a frustrating 0-0 draw with Fleetwood. His keeper got him out of jail after he let the ball run through to a forward. Seems to be doing a bit of overlapping down the right.
Taylor Perry - Cheltenham Town (League One)
Played the full game of a 4-0 home defeat to Barnsley. Did show some individual brilliance by nutmegging a defender then firing a shot into the side netting.
Hayao Kawabe and Bendeguz Bolla - Grasshoppers Zurich (Swiss Super League)
Both played the full game of a 2-1 home defeat to local rivals FC Zurich. Kawabe started brightly, having a low shot tipped round the post. But GHZ contrived to throw away a 1-0 lead. They’re now 1 point off the bottom.
Joe Young - AFC Telford, National League North
Played in yet another defeat away at Alfreton (1-0), but was Telford’s best player, pulling off a string of saves.
On as sub: Hoever came on for the last 20 minutes of Stoke’s loss at Blackpool, Guedes played a similar amount for Benfica in their 3-1 win and flashed a fierce shot wide, Corbeanu made a late 5-minute cameo for Bielefield, while Sang-Bin came on for the final few minutes for GHZ.
Unused subs: Silva, Campbell, Smith.
Not in squad: Jordao
No game or friendly: Mosquera
