Spurs loan watch: Weekend review | OneFootball

Over the weekend, despite the international break, there were still a couple of games for Tottenham Hotspur loanees. Let’s take a quick look at how things went for them.

How things went for two Tottenham Hotspur loanees this weekend

To begin, George Abbott and his Notts County side hosted Crewe Alexandra in League Two, with the game being broadcasted live on Sky Sports. As usual, he was named in the starting XI – his start of the season in the fourth tier.

Unfortunately, not much to report on here, as the sides played out a goalless draw. There were not many big chances in the game, though one fell to Abbott in stoppage time. After a team mate mis controlled the ball, he went through on goal from an angle, but could not beat the keeper at his near post. A real shame, a stoppage time winner in a massive game, in front of the cameras, would have been so good.

In general, it was a big shame that Notts could not get over the line. Perhaps a reason why they couldn’t is that top scorer (club and league) Alassana Jatta missed the game, as a result of being on international duty with Gambia.

Nevertheless, another 90 minutes for Abbott, with the Spurs loanee now up to 2830 minutes in the league this season, as well as another 180 in the FA Cup. It really has been a very productive season for him, as his first season out on loan begins to reach its conclusion.

This draw leaves Notts in place in League Two, with 62 points from their 32 games. They are now four points ahead of eighth place, though with superior goal difference. In any case, that is just two wins from their last nine league games. They will need better form in their final eight games if they are to maintain their play off status.

Next up is an away game over the border against Newport County on Saturday, for a 15:00 GMT kick off.

Meanwhile, Luca Gunter started in goal for Wealdstone, as they hosted Woking in the National League. Just as it looked like the sides were heading for a 0-0 draw, the Stones managed to grab a winner in the 94th minute, securing a huge three points for Gunter’s side.

As for the Spurs loanee himself – he made two saves, two high claims, and completed five accurate long balls, on a perfect day all round. Two wins in a row have helped Wealdstone up to 18th in the league, with 42 points from 37 games, three points above 21st place, with superior goal difference and a game in hand.

That game in hand is on Tuesday evening, when they face Aldershot, for a 19:45 GMT kick off.
