Chelsea’s 100% record at home in the Under-18 Premier League continued on Saturday morning courtesy of a 2-0 win over Reading at Cobham. The Blues were made to work hard for their reward and had to wait until well into the second half before they eventually took the lead, but a lovely team goal finished by Tariq Uwakwe was the least they deserved. Substitute Charlie Brown added gloss to the…
Chelsea’s Development Squad returned to action on Friday night but endured a frustrating time of it as they were held to a goalless draw at home to bottom of the table Leicester City at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium. The Blues were well on top for the majority of the match, and struck the woodwork in a dominant first half, but they looked short of match sharpness the longer the game went…
We’ve had a flurry of goals in every single week of the Loan Report season so far, and the past seven days proved no exception to that, with four more to bring you this time around. Let’s dive right in with birthday boy Tammy Abraham. Headliners The prolific young forward celebrates turning 19 today (Sunday) and did so by scoring his 11th goal of the campaign in all competitions at…
Chelsea’s Under-18s maintained their 100% record at Cobham this season with a 1-0 win at home to West Ham United on Saturday morning, but it was a game of two halves heavily influenced by the officials. Having controlled long spells of the first forty-five minutes, Iké Ugbo’s opportunistic opening goal had given the Blues a lead they had fully warranted and set the tone for more to come. That was,…
The goals continued to fly in this week as Chelsea’s army of loanees surpassed 30 for the season before the end of September. With eight to bring you, let’s start with Tammy Abraham, who himself has now reached double-figures after twice putting Fulham to the sword. Headliners The football Gods ensured Bristol City would travel to Craven Cottage on Wednesday and again on Saturday; the former an EFL Cup fixture…
Chelsea’s Under-18s are still without an away win in this fledgling academy season but they picked up their first point on the road with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday morning. That the spoils were shared was probably a fair outcome on the balance of play, with neither side truly able to get a firm grasp on proceedings on a windy day at Bodymoor Heath. Harvey St Clair’s…
Through two months of the new Chelsea Development Squad season, manager Adi Viveash has been keen to remind people that his group is a very young one and that the 2016-17season is a year-long project to bring a significant number of newcomers along as they go. Determined to remain even-keeled regardless of the result, he and his team didn’t get too giddy after a four-game unbeaten start to the campaign,…
Chelsea’s Development Squad produced a good performance away to Reading on Monday night but came away from the Madejski Stadium pointless after going down to an unlikely 2-1 defeat. Iké Ugbo’s first-half strike was the least the Blues had deserved for a thoroughly dominant first half and, although their second half display didn’t quite hit the same notes, the notion of a defeat seemed unlikely until Sam Smith added to…
It’s all happening on the Chelsea loan front these days and, with seven goals to bring you from this weekend – five scored by Englishmen no less – there’s no shortage of headlines to be made. Headliners Let’s start with Tammy Abraham.

Chelsea’s Under-18s continued their strong home record at Cobham with a 4-2 win over Arsenal on Saturday morning. The Blues have struggled on the road so far this season but tend to be imperious on their own patch and, so it proved again here, as Martell Taylor-Crossdale helped himself to a hat-trick whilst Harvey St Clair chipped in with another as the duo continued their own prolific recent spells. Following…
