We hit the 100 goal mark from the Chelsea Loan Army this week, with Lewis Baker front and centre in guiding Vitesse to another significant milestone. Headliners It’s been no secret around Arnhem that the main focus this season is the Dutch Cup. Without a major trophy in their 127-year history, Vitesse found themselves in the last four along with three other sides they would consider themselves favourites to beat,…
With the good comes the bad, and as we approach the century mark on the goals front this Loan Army season, we’re also seeing a rise injuries, including one this week that was confirmed as season-ending. Let’s start with the good news. Headliners Lucas Piazon has been in good form of late as Fulham mount a playoff charge, and a very smartly-taken goal in midweek away to a Bristol City…
Chelsea’s Under-18s rounded off their Southern stage fixtures in style on Saturday morning as they recorded an impressive 3-0 win away to West Ham at Little Heath. The Blues – who are Southern champions for a third successive season – now go into Merit Group One for the national title and do so after goals from Luke McCormick, Tariq Uwakwe and Cole Dasilva secured a fifth successive win, whilst a…
Two more goals over the past seven days take us to 94 goals for the Chelsea Loan Army season (whilst maintaining the streak of at least one being scored in every full week of the campaign so far), but it hasn’t been plain sailing by any measure, and injuries are starting to mount up. Let’s start with the good news anyway. Headliners Lucas Piazon has made steady and occasionally spectacular…
Chelsea’s Development Squad suffered a first league defeat since September as they went down 4-3 to Manchester City at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Brahim Diaz’s hat-trick did the damage as, despite mounting a comeback from an early two-goal deficit courtesy of Charly Musonda and Josimar Quintero, they suffered a second-half sucker punch with a dubious penalty awarded by Premier League referee Kevin Friend, and a fourth from Isaac…
Chelsea’s Under-18s began a busy day of club action in emphatic style after recording a remarkable 13-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Cobham.

Following the FA Youth Cup…
Chelsea’s Under-18s reached the Semi Finals of the FA Youth Cup for the eighth year in succession as they battled to a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Leicester City on Wednesday evening. In a performance which was some way short of their free-flowing best, the youngsters were forced to dig in and scrap their way to victory on an extremely wet evening at the King Power Stadium; Iké Ugbo’s second half…
We’re closing on a significant milestone in the Loan Report as six goals this past week too us to 92 for the season overall, edging ever-closer to the century mark. Ahead of schedule by comparison to the 2013-14 season, when that year’s Loan Army notched a remarkable 125 goals, it promises to be a very interesting couple of months as this season’s vintage go about their business. Headliners The first…
Chelsea’s Under-18s made it a hat-trick of Southern section league titles on Saturday morning as they came away from Leicester City with a 3-0 win. First half goals from Martell Taylor-Crossdale and George McEachran established control of proceedings and a late Luke McCormick penalty ensures a third straight season topping the Southern table for the Blues, who will now prepare for the Elite stage of merit group competition, where the…
The goals continue to flow steadily for the Chelsea Loan Army, with another four this week taking us to a total of 86 for the season and maintaining the streak of having at least one in every full week of the 2016-17 so far. We begin with a record-breaking familiar face. Headliners Tammy Abraham’s 16th league goal – his 19th in all competitions – might have arrived rather fortuitously but…
