Last week proved to be a hugely successful week for a number of our players out on loan.

With plenty of wins, goals and Champions League appearances, this week's loan report makes positive reading for Albion fans.

Goalkeepers

Kjell Scherpen had a disappointing week both domestically and in the Champions League with Sturm Graz. The Dutchman lost 2-1 to Stade Brestois – a defeat we will mention further down this report – before suffering a shock 3-0 defeat to Wolfsberger at home in the league.

Saturday wasn’t a particularly enjoyable day for James Beadle either, although for 70 minutes of Sheffield Wednesday’s match at Luton they looked set for all three points, leading 1-0. That changed with a red card and a penalty going against the Owls as they lost 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.

MK Dons’ stop-start form continued as they drew 1-1 with Doncaster Rovers, with Tom McGill in between the sticks for MK. Carl Rushworth was an unused substitute in Hull’s 3-1 win at Stoke City.

Defenders

Charlton’s fine start to the League One season suffered a bump as they were beaten 2-1 by Odel Offiah’s Blackpool – the Addicks are managed by former Albion man Nathan Jones.

Valentin Barco came on for the last 25 minutes of Sevilla’s 2-1 defeat at Alaves, while Casper Nilsson was an unused substitute in Partick Thistle’s 1-0 home win over Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Championship.

Midfielders

Malick Yalcouye made his Champions League debut in Sturm Graz’s 2-1 defeat to Stade Brestois when he came on as a half-time substitute, before also playing the second half of their 3-0 defeat to Wolfsberger.

Facundo Buonanotte came on for the final 35 minutes of Leicester City’s 1-1 draw with Everton, while Jeremy Sarmiento scored his first Burnley goal in their 2-1 win over Portsmouth with a fantastic curling effort from the edge of the box.

In the Championship, Andrew Moran played for an hour of Stoke’s 3-1 defeat to Hull while Amario Cozier-Duberry came on as a substitute for Blackburn in their goalless draw with Preston.

Further down the pyramid in League One, Samy Chouchane played for 87 minutes as Northampton Town claimed an unexpected three points at Huddersfield Town with a 3-1 win.

Kamari Doyle had an equally enjoyable afternoon as he played an hour of Exeter’s 2-0 home win over Stevenage, scoring the Grecians’ second goal when he smashed in from close range. That was the midfielder’s second goal of the campaign, having curled home a wonderful free-kick at Bolton in August.

Grimsby Town claimed their third win of the season as they beat Bromley 1-0 at home in League Two – Luca Barrington was substituted on in the first half for the Mariners, while Benicio Baker-Boaitey was substituted at half-time in Port Vale’s 2-2 draw at Accrington Stanley.

Forwards

Abdallah Sima scored the winner for Stade Brestois on his full Champions League debut, as they beat Sturm Graz 2-1. The Senegal international’s fine finish also won him the player of the match award. He followed that up with an assist in Brest’s 2-0 win over Toulouse on Sunday.
