FT - Notts County win 3-0 - puts them in 4th place 2 points behind 3rd place which is an automatic promotion place with 6 games to go.

Almost certainly in promotion playoff places as they are 7 points clear of club just outside play off places with 6 games to go - so unlikely to be over taken.

Great win for Notts - and Abbott.

Next 3 games are Colchester, Salford and Bradford. 2 teams fighting for the play off slots and Bradford 2 points more.
GD of 22.
It's there for them if they want it.
 

How Tottenham’s loanees have performed this season​

George Abbott – Abbott has been a revelation in League One, establishing himself as a key player for Notts County. He’s consistently contributed with goals and assists, scoring some absolute screamers. With 10 goal involvements across all competitions, he’s having a strong season. Rating: 8/10.

Jamie Donley
Donley has also impressed in League One, starring for Leyton Orient. He’s been pivotal in Richie Wellens’ side, helping them push for promotion with six goals and five assists in the league. A solid campaign so far. Rating: 8/10

Josh Keeley
Keeley is a personal favourite. A goalkeeper with a goal and an assist? That alone is impressive. His FA Cup heroics, where he saved penalties to help his side reach the fourth round, make him arguably Spurs’ standout loanee this season. Rating: 8.5/10

Alfie Dorrington
Dorrington moved to Aberdeen in January but has barely featured. There’s no doubt about his talent, but with only two starts to his name, it’s been a quiet loan spell so far. Rating: 5/10.

Luca Gunter –
The 19-year-old goalkeeper has had a tough time at Wealdstone in the National League. He’s played 11 games, conceded 21 goals, and kept just one clean sheet. Hard to blame him entirely, though—his team sits 20th in the table. Rating: 4/10.

Will Lankshear
Lankshear’s loan at West Brom hasn’t gone to plan. He’s barely featured, struggling to get more than 60 minutes in a single match on the pitch. Spurs would have hoped for much more. Rating: 3/10.

Alfie Devine – Devine was impressing at Westerlo until an injury stalled his progress. He’s back now, working his way to full fitness. With Devine helping Westerlo to secure their place in the league and with the Belgian side eyeing a UEFA Conference League spot, he still has time to make even more impact. Rating: 6.5/10.

Luka VuskovicVuskovic has been immense. A defender who can score, play out from the back, and put in rock-solid defensive performances—he’s got crazy potential.

Vuskovic even managed a feat no other defender in the top 10 leagues has this season, becoming the highest-rated centre-back in a game without scoring or assisting. Rating: 9/10.

Ashley Phillips
– Phillips’ loan at Stoke City has been underwhelming. He’s struggled with defensive awareness and his recent performances haven’t inspired confidence as Stoke battle in the Championship. Rating: 4/10.

Alejo Véliz
– It just hasn’t clicked for Véliz at Espanyol. Twenty-three games, four goals—it’s been a frustrating spell. A fresh loan or even a permanent move could be on the cards next season. Rating: 3/10.

Bryan Gil
– Gil’s Girona loan has been a success in one key aspect—boosting his resale value. While a season-ending injury is a setback for Gil, his performances have at least strengthened his case for a move away from Spurs next season. Rating: 7/10.

Manor Solomon – Solomon has become a fan favourite at Leeds United. Seven goals, eight assists, and now talk of a permanent move. It’s been the perfect loan spell—one that could even bring Spurs some decent money if he’s sold. Rating: 8.5/10.

Yang Min-hyeok
Yang’s early performances had QPR fans excited, but regular game time has been hard to come by. A frustrating loan so far. Rating: 5/10.

Dane Scarlett (first half of the season) –
Scarlett’s time at Oxford United was disappointing. Four goals in 20 games isn’t great, and Postecoglou himself admitted he wasn’t in top shape when he returned. Spurs still have a plan for him, but that initial loan spell was poor. Rating: 3/10.
Thought id register as do browse here every now and again as the humour usually gives me a chuckle. That said as a Stoke fan (for my sins) whose been to every home game and most away this season.

Whoever gave Ashley Philips 4/10 couldn't find their arse with both hands.

He's had a couple of off games but overall he's been brilliant and more than capable at Championship level, calm, composed for the most part and certainly plays like a more experienced player.

I think most Stoke fans were dreading the thought of a call back in Jan when you guys were struggling for defensive players.

Is he ready for the PL yet? Maybe, maybe not but i think another 12 months in the Championship and he will be one of the better in the league.

Overall would love to have him back for another season, solid 8/10 for me.
 
Looks like Mason Melia will get a run of starts for (league leaders) St. Patrick's Athletic, as first choice #9 Aiden Keena is out for an extended period (early May) with a hamstring injury.
 
Forgot to mention that Veliz came on for the second half of Espanyol's last game, a 1-1 draw, home to AM.
They are away vs R Vallecano at 8pm tonight.
On the bench again.
 
Remarkable couple of games for relegation battlers. They drew with 3rd place AM last time and are currently leading 2-0 away vs RV who are 8th. Veliz unlikely to get meaningful game time.
Edit: FT 4-0. Veliz unused sub.

Melia did 90 mins before being subbed off.
I watched a lot of the second half. He was a bog standard number 9 who did well with a couple of long balls but apart from that - nothing.
