- Two Hammers were in action on loan this weekend
- Josh Cullen played 90 minutes in midfield for Bradford City
- Lewis Page turned out for Coventry City as they were beaten by MK Dons
There were only two Hammers in loan action over the weekend as Josh Cullen and Lewis Page both played 90 minutes for their respective sides.
Cullen, who has been a mainstay in Bradford City’s side since rejoining the Bantams in the summer after a period there last season, could not help his team pick up a result as they were beaten 1-0 by Swindon Town.
Stuart McCall’s men, who started the season in impressive fashion and were unbeaten in League One until the middle of October, remain in the play-offs but could not find the back of the net at the County Ground.
Anton Rodgers’ 19th minute free-kick – which found the top corner from all of 30 yards – was enough to secure all three points for the hosts.
James Hanson had his side’s best two chances to equalise, as first he rifled an effort over from close range before striking the woodwork with his head with just eight minutes left on the clock.
Elsewhere, Lewis Page was in action for Coventry City but the Sky Blues slipped back into the League One relegation spots with a 2-1 defeat to managerless MK Dons.
Ed Upson gave the Dons the lead with ten minutes remaining in the first half but Ben Stevenson spectacularly lifted the roof at the Ricoh Arena with a 30 yard stunner.
The afternoon turned sour for the midfielder with 16 minutes left however, as he was shown a red card for a poor challenge on visiting captain Dean Lewington.
And with time running out, MK made their one-man advantage count, scoring again through Upson to record their first win since October 1.
Finally, George Dobson was an unused substitute for Walsall as they were held to a goalless draw at home to Southend United.
In the Championship, Reece Burke is likely to be in action on Monday night as his Wigan Athletic outfit make the trip to Huddersfield Town, live on Sky Sports 1 from 7:45pm.
