The streak of a Chelsea loanee scoring in every single full, non-international break, week of the 2016-17 season so far continued this week with three more strikes to take us to 42 overall for the campaign. We begin with a player who, despite being contracted to the Blues, might not actually ever come back. Headliners The nature of Juan Cuadrado’s three-year loan deal to Juventus makes it highly likely that…
Chelsea’s search for an away win in the Under-18 Premier League this season continues after an entertaining 1-1 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday morning. The Blues took a first-half lead through Marc Guehi but that advantage was swiftly cancelled out by Samuel Shashoua’s well-taken equaliser. In a game that to’d and fro’d with both sides enjoying good chances, it was Chelsea who were presented with the best opportunity…
Chelsea’s Checkatrade Trophy adventure came to a premature end on Tuesday evening as a 3-2 defeat away to Exeter City at St James Park ensured that they will be unable to qualify for the knockout stages in the new year. A rather disappointing first half in which they were too passive and often intimidated by their more experienced foes saw them trailing 2-0 to goals from Ollie Watkins and David…
Chelsea’s army of loanees picked up where they left off before the international break upon returning to club action this weekend, with another bunch of goals to bring you and a whole lot more besides. Headliners The first of those goals was scored by Lucas Piazon, who helped Fulham to a 4-2 win away to Barnsley. It was a first victory in six games for the West London side, who…
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…
