Billy O'Brien (Man City - goalkeeper) Kept a clean sheet as the City U18's beat rivals Man Utd 2-0 last Saturday.

Wes Burns (Bristol City - midfielder) Scored his first goal for City with a header as City lost 2-1 to Coventry at Ashton Gate. George Thomas (Coventry - striker) was an unused sub for the Sky Blues.

Christian Dibble (Barnsley - goalkeeper) Joins Skrill North side Stockport County on loan. Dibble has been on the bench for the majority of this season.

Paul Dummett (Newcastle - defender) Managed his first minutes for the seniors since returning from injury with a substitute appearance in the derby against Sunderland. Dummett entered the field after 64 minutes as the Geordies crashed to a 3-0 defeat.

James Graham (Everton - defender) & Gethin Jones (Everton - defender) Started as the U18's made it back to back wins by beating Blackburn 3-1. They were joined in the starting XI by Welsh qualified right-back Arlen Birch (Everton - defender).

Emyr Huws (Man City/Birmingham - midfielder) Impressed on his debut for Birmingham against Derby. Huws was handed his debut and played 90 minutes. The Wales midfielder also witnessed his shot which hit the post bounced back for Macheda to pounce and earn his side a valuable point. He was also chosen as Man of the Match.

Declan John (Cardiff City - defender) Was once again on the team sheet as he started the home game with Norwich. John played 90 minutes in the important 2-1 win. He could well be involved when Chris Coleman names his squad to face Iceland in a few weeks time.

Lee Lucas (Swansea City/Cheltenham - midfielder) Made his debut for Cheltenham at home against Northampton. Lucas played 85 minutes in the 1-1 draw.

Sam Molyneux (Shrewsbury - striker) Scored the opening goal as the U18's beat Tranmere 2-1 last weekend. Molyneux latched on to a through ball before calmly stroking the ball past the keeper to open the scoring.

Callum Saunders (Crewe - striker) Was once again on the scoresheet for the U18's, but this time his goal was in vain as Railwaymen lost 4-2 away at Barnsley.

Jake Taylor (Reading - midfielder) Made an early appearance off the bench as Reading won on the road against Millwall. Taylor stepped off the bench after 33 minutes as the Royals continued their mini-revival.

George Williams (Fulham - striker) Another game and another goal for the Wales U19 international as the Cottagers beat Leicester City 2-1. Williams came on as a sub and grabbed all points in the final 10 minutes.

James Wison (Oldham - defender) Played 90 minutes and helped his side keep a clean sheet as they beat Swindon 1-0 away. Louis Thompson (Swindon - midfielder) played 90 minutes for the home side.
