WEEKLY WRAP: 1.1 through 1.7.2018: Short Version - FA Cup, Lichaj.Then Maki Tall & Mason Robertson all Hit Braces

Life sometimes causes delays - so sorry for being so late with this. I am omitting the shout outs (except in the title) and brief, so I can get this out late Monday. Next week, back to normal.

Also don't forget the Transfer Window Updates that we update daily with our US players moves around the world.

Again our apologies

NEW YEARS DAY


Danny Williams (90) and Huddersfield did not start the new year well, falling 3 - 0 at Leicester in the EPL

Geoff Cameron (90) and Stoke lose their first game of the year as they fall 0 - 1 at home to visitors Newcastle with DeAndre Yedlin (90). Both teams needed points, Newcastle scramble above the drop zone as Stoke fall into deeper trouble

In the Championship, Antonee Robinson (90) as Bolton win back-to-back matches, today 1 - 0 over Hull. Bolton are now above the drop zone

Cameron Carter-Vickers started the new year on the bench for Sheffield United as they traveled to #2 Derby and managed a 1 - 1 draw. Sheffield holding on (by the finger tips) to the final promotion play-off spot at #6

Eric Lichaj (90 + yellow) as Nottingham Forest visited Leeds and hold on in a goalless draw. Nottingham now only 2 points from their last 5 matches

In League One play, Gboly Ariyibi remained on the bench as MK Don's were well beaten at Oxford United. MK Don's continue their downward spiral, now just 2 points above the relegation zone

Niall Mason (90 + yellow) as Doncaster battle to a 1 - 1 draw at Peterborough and remain unbeaten in their last 5 matches

Deja Vu all over again, and again...GK Brendan Moore on the bench as Rochdale fall 1 - 2 at home to Blackpool. 3 straight losses for Rochdale who have only snagged 2 points in their last 5 and look to be doomed unless they can turn things around quickly

Duane Holmes (65) as Scunthorpe hold off Bury to win 1 - 0 at home in their League One match. Scunthorpe are in 4th place and join the others in the top 4 with unbeaten streaks at 5 matches

TUESDAY

Mason Robertson (90) Scored the 6th Goal as Peterhead pummel Cowdenbeath 7 - 0 in Scotland's League Two. Mason's 2nd goal in as many matches, as Peterhead move to just 1 point behind leaders Montrose. Peterhead have now won 6 straight and 10 of their last 11 matches

Tim Ream (90 + yellow) as Fulham left it to the 2nd half, but what an explosive 2nd half, to absolutely destroy 10 man Ipswich 4 - 1, with 4 goals in 8 minutes. Fulham improving over the past 4 weeks (unbeaten) and are 10th with 39 points, 4 points off a magic spot in the promotion playoffs

WEDNESDAY

GK Brandon Austin (90) had a horrendous day, but it was hardly his fault as Tottenham U23 were handed 2 red cards and collapsed in the final 30 minutes, going from 1 - 1 draw to a 6 - 1 loss at Leicester U23 in England's Premier League 2. Tottenham U23 now bottom of league could find themselves in Group 2 (of the 2 group system)
