A clean sheet for Peacock-Farrell and a win for Weghorst in this week’s loan watch

Nine players are currently on loan deals away from the Club, across six leagues and four countries, including the Danish Superliga, Scottish Premiership and German Bundesliga.

This tally includes six players from the first team, with Bailey Peacock-Farrell keeping a clean sheet against Lyngby and Wout Weghorst helping his Hoffenheim side to three points away from home.

Here’s a round up of how all nine loanees, in alphabetical order, have fared over the past week.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell (AGF Aarhus)

Peacock-Farrell took part in one game this week in the Danish Superliga, keeping out Lyngby at home, in a 1-0 victory for AGF Aarhus.

After a strong start to the season, the Northern Ireland stopper’s loan side sit 4th in the table, and he remains an ever-present since joining the Club.

A tricky game away to Midtjylland at the MCH Arena follows for Peacock-Farrell in his next game, on Sunday.

This week’s game(s): SUN – Midtjylland (A)

Benn Ward (Swindon Town)

There were two games for Ward’s side Swindon Town this week, starting on Tuesday 22nd August, with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the EFL Trophy Group Stages.

The Robins went on to lose the game on spot kicks, with the defender missing his penalty.

Swindon then returned to league action on Saturday with a 6-0 thrashing of Crawley Town, in which the Clarets defender was an unused substitute.

That result leaves Ward’s team sat 8th in the league after four games and they face Doncaster Rovers away from home this Saturday.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Doncaster Rovers (A)

Dara Costelloe (St Johnstone)

Following a weekend off in his first seven days with the Saints, Costelloe returned to action on Saturday, as his side held Scottish Champions Celtic to a draw, in a game where the Irish forward played 90 minutes.

This was the first point that St. Johnstone have picked up this season, and after three games they sit 11th in the table.

Costelloe’s team host Dundee on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership and will hope to build on their strong performance against The Bhoys here.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Dundee (H)

Harry Moss (Padiham)

It was a busy week for Academy goalkeeper Moss, as he took part in two of the Storks' three games.

First up was a 1-0 loss at home against Glossop, in which Moss played 90 mins but could not help his side avoid defeat.

This was followed by a FA Vase win against Jarrow on Saturday, which the ‘keeper was uninvolved in, but he returned for their 3-1 victory over Longridge Town in the league on Bank Holiday Monday.

Two games follow for Padiham and Moss this week, as they host Pilkington on Saturday, before travelling to face Prestwich Heys on Tuesday night.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Pilkington (H), TUE – Prestwich Heys (A)

Jack Turner (Hyde United)

Turner agreed to join Hyde United on a season-long loan deal last Friday, and immediately found himself on the bench for the 3-1 win against Worksop Town on Saturday.

The defender was an unused substitute in both that game, and the 2-1 loss to Ashton United on Monday.

In what will potentially be Turner’s debut for the Tigers, they travel to Clitheroe in the FA Cup on Saturday.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Clitheroe (A)

Luke McNally (Stoke City)

There were two games for McNally and the Potters this week and on Saturday they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the Den against Millwall, a game in which McNally played 90 minutes.

In their second fixture of the last seven days, on Tuesday, Stoke pulled off a fantastic 6-1 home win against Rotherham United to progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup and Irish defender McNally played 32 minutes, coming on as a 58th minute substitute.

Next up for McNally is a trip back to Lancashire when the Potters take on Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday.

This week’s game(s): SAT - Preston North End (A)

Michael Mellon (Morecambe)

It was a quiet week compared to the last for Mellon, as in their one game since the last ‘loan watch’, the Shrimps fell to a 2-0 defeat against Harrogate Town away from home.

Striker joins Scottish Premier League side

That result means that Morecambe drop down to 11th in the Sky Bet League Two table, and they face 10th placed Salford next up at the Mazuma Stadium.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Salford City (H)

Scott Twine (Hull City)

It was a Friday night game under the lights for Twine and his Hull teammates last week, as they battled to a 1-1 draw against Bristol City at the MKM Stadium.

The on-loan Clarets midfielder played 90 minutes in that game and will hope for the same when the Tigers travel to in-form Leicester City on Saturday.

This week’s game(s): SAT – Leicester City (A)

Wout Weghorst (TSG Hoffenheim)

After missing Hoffenheim’s first league game through injury, Weghorst returned to the side for their second game, away at Heidenheim.
