Loan watch: Simpson in action

SATURDAY’S MATCHES

Mark Randall- Preston 2 Burnley 1

Mark didn’t feature as Burnley lost 2-1 to Preston North End. Tamas Priskin put the home side in front after five minutes, before James O’Connor equalised for the visitors. However, it wasn’t enough as Chris Brown struck on 54 minutes to give Preston all three points.

Kieran Gibbs- Norwich 5 Colchester 1

Kieran was left out as Norwich thrashed local rivals Colchester 5-1 at Carrow Road. A hat-trick from Jamie Cureton, added to goals from John Ostemobor and Dion Dublin gave the Canaries the victory. Kevin Lisbie found the net for Colchester just before half-time, but it turned out to be nothing but a mere consolation.

Jay Simpson- Oldham 1 Millwall 1

Jay played 90 minutes as Millwall drew 1-1 with Oldham.  Bas Savage put Millwall ahead on 76 minutes, but it was cancelled out just three minutes later by a Leon Constantine strike.
