Loanees: Mannone & Botelho Continue Good Form

Welcome to this weekends Loanees Watch – Young Guns’ analysis, reports and updates on the progress of the young starlets currently plying their trade away from the Emirates Stadium. You can read all the latest reports below.

Vito Mannone claimed a second consecutive clean-sheet as Hull City’s good form continued with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town. Mannone was forced into making two early saves, one notably from Jason Scotland, but was otherwise untroubled.

Kyle Bartley completed another 90 minutes at centre half as Sheffield United beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at home. Bartley showed impressive composure and leadership in a game which saw two penalties and two red cards.

Sanchez Watt played 85 minutes for Leeds United Reserves in a 6-3 win over Hull City in midweek, but was not part of the squad that drew 1-1 with Norwich City. Watt is expected to be involved next week after recovering from injury.

Benik Afobe came off the bench to play the final 15 minutes of Huddersfield Town’s 1-0 defeat to Exeter City. Afobe, who was rested due to worries from manager Lee Clark about burn out, replaced Jordan Rhodes but didn’t have any real chances to score.

Cédric Evina played the full 90 minutes in midfield for Oldham Athletic as they beat Dagenham and Redbridge 1-0. Evina impressed in his role, and almost played in a part in the opener, with Dagenham defender Will Antwi almost turning the Frenchman’s cross into his own net.

Thomas Cruise played 79 minutes at left back for Carlisle United as they lost 2-1 to Walsall. Cruise, who was initially awarded the opening goal before it was given to striker Mike Grella, came off late on as United looked for an equaliser.

Gavin Hoyte wrapped up another 90 minutes at right back as Lincoln City beat Hereford United 3-1.

Luke Freeman was not part of the Yeovil Town squad that lost 3-2 to Charlton Athletic.

Mark Randall missed Rotherham’s 1-0 win over Crewe due to a shoulder injury.

Francis Coquelin came off the bench to play the final 24 minutes as Lorient lost 2-0 to Sochaux. Coquelin’s introduction helped protect the defence in the closing stages, but the damage was already done.

Armand Traoré was an unused substitute for Juventus was they beat Genoa 2-0.

Nacer Barazite was left out of the Vitesse Arnhem squad that beat Heracles 2-0. New coach Albert Ferrer says Barazite must earn his place in the Vitesse squad for next weeks fixture.

Pedro Botelho played the full 90 minutes on the left of a front three as FC Cartagena beat Real Betis 2-1. Botelho turned in another solid shift, but in a new position. The Brazilian came close to equalising after Betis took the lead, having his shot turned off the post.

Samuel Galindo came off the bench to play the final three minutes of UD Salamanca’s 4-2 win over Las Palmas. Galindo, who was given a brand new Audi A1 by Salamanca’s sponsors Audi, is expected to feature much more in the second half of the season.

    It seems that Traore going to Juve on loan isn’t helping him at all, huh?

      he was not sent to Juventus to improve for us. He was sent for Juventus to look at if they want to buy him.

    Seem’s like Pedro Botelho is much better offensively than he is defensively and he is also improving in the disciplinary area.

    Sounds like Bartley, Watt, Coquelin, Afobe, Cruise, Mannone, Hoyte, and Evina are all doing pretty well on loan.

    Traore, Freeman, Randall, and Barazite seem to be falling off the map.

    Galindo is just getting going at Salamanca based on what J.S. has been reporting. I hope he gets a lot more time in coming mathces.

    Thank you for the information you provide on this site!
    BTW, I don’t know if I am the only person to experience that on a regular basis, but there’s a small navigation problem because it’s so difficult to open a page in a new tab. Where do I click actually or are there periods in which it just doesn’t work?

    Thanks for the good job!

    JS Whats the latest on Aaron Ramsey. Hows he doing?

    To be honest we are missing his drive, determination, desire in midfield.

    Him and diaby as well we have missed in my opinion.

    When fabregas isnt on his game we have no one else other than ramsey who can open defences up.

    It will be a huge boost for arsenal when he comes back especially for the fans as well i reckon the ramsey return could be what arsenal to push them on
