At first, I was somewhat confused at Brooke Norton-Cuffy's recall from Rotherham to transfer to Coventry City, but after watching him play 2 matches there, it's clear Arsenal want him to learn how to play as an inverted right back. 2 matches in, and BNC is already much improved.

The frustrating lack of playing time continues for all 3 of our loanees in the Netherlands. And Arthur Okonkwo and Ovie Ejeheri make major moves to top flight clubs for the 2nd half of the season.

After a month hiatus, Hale End Productions goes 1 by 1 through all 18 loanees plus one extra special academy player who's shining bright (it's not who you think). The highlights of the season have been Folarin Balogun's 8 goals in Ligue 1, Charlie Patino's defensive prowess and progressive passing, Brooke Norton-Cuffy's domination on the right side of the pitch, Arthur Okonkwo's penalty saves and a whole lot more. Away From Hale End is back and better than ever, going back to our once a week episodes.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy shines for Rotherham in a new position on the left flank. BNC's skillset flourished in the half-spaces, as his in-swinging crosses, left-footed passes, and technical prowess made for an easy transition into a new role.

Marcelo Flores and Nikolaj Moller get their first assists of the season and Alex Kirk gets his first senior goal. Tyreece John-Jules continues to be a Swiss army knife in attack for a dominant Ipswich side and Ryan Alebiousu provides the impetus for Kilmarnock. Mazeed Ogungbo makes his return to the squad after a month away and Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand gets closer to his senior debut.

Charlie Patino gets put to the test in a hectic, physical, and frantic Championship matchup with then top of the table Sheffield United. Patino stood tall to the task and impressed. Nikolaj Moller scores his first competitive goal of the season, sending FC Den Bosch to the next round of the KNVB Cup. Brooke Norton-Cuffy gets some much needed rest and follows that up with an excellent performance and so does Ryan Alebiosu as the two strut their skills from RWB. All that and more!
