Loan Watch: Clean sheet for Trott, as midfield duo record wins

A trio of Hammers loanees were involved across the weekend, with plenty of positive results too…
 

Goalkeeper Nathan Trott shone to keep an important clean sheet as Vejle BK picked up a point in the Danish Superliga on Sunday afternoon.

Playing a second consecutive season in Denmark, Trott helped his team to a 0-0 draw against FC Nordsjaelland, a side currently ranked third in the table.

A second straight draw in the league sees Vejle remain eleventh, although they have taken five points from their last four games.

Trott and company are next in action when they host bottom-side Hvidovre on Sunday 8 October.

Elsewhere, midfielder Freddie Potts tasted victory as EFL League One outfit Wycombe Wanderers battled to a 2-0 win over Carlisle United on Saturday.

After the visitors' goalkeeper Jokull Andresson was sent-off for a foul on Sam Vokes, Potts’ side dominated the fixture to take a deserved three points.

Luke Leahy struck the first from the spot, before Vokes added the Chairboys' second of the afternoon with a finish on the turn and into the bottom corner.

Wycombe move to ninth in the League One table, with five wins from their first nine games.

Starting for the fifth time in the second tier in 2023/24, fellow midfielder Flynn Downes also won on Saturday as Southampton beat Leeds United in the EFL Championship.

Two sides dreaming of a quick return to the Premier League went head-to-head at St Mary’s Stadium, with the Saints taking their fourth three points of the season by a 3-1 scoreline.

Adam Armstrong opened the scoring on two minutes, before further goals from Armstrong and Will Smallbone had Southampton three goals ahead with just over half an hour played.

Pascal Struijk netted a consolation for Leeds, although the Saints held on to move tenth in the table, with four wins from their first nine league games.
