Macheda returns to United - Every little helps

edited October 2013 in Other Football and Sports
Good news. I'm hoping we can end above Donny, Barnsley & Yeovil.

Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has returned to the Premier League champions from his loan spell at Doncaster to receive treatment for a hamstring injury.

Macheda, who joined Rovers in mid-September on an initial one-month deal, is expected to be out for around three weeks.

Doncaster plan to resurrect the deal once the 22-year-old Italian is fit again.

Macheda has scored three goals in five Sky Bet Championship appearances, including four starts, for Paul Dickov's side.

    Good news indeed.

    Think those three and possibly Wednesday are the ones we can realistically expect to finish above.

    If Solly, Kermogant and Jackson come back to play in most of our games we will be above a lot more than that.

    I think it will be Barnsley ,Yeovil and one other.

    The one other is between us , the Spanners,Donny,Wendies,Middlesbrough,Birmingham and somebody ( I don't know who yet)who probably looks safe at the moment but will drop like a stone in the second half of the season in a similar fashion to Wolves last year.

    Birmingham will soon have new owners, new manager, and a few very good loan players in. I think we can take them out of possible relegation clubs.

    Bolton will be down there

    They'll have a new manager before christmas so we'll see what happens but if that doesn't kickstart their season they'll be in deep, Wolves-style, trouble.

    They've been saying that for 2 years to be fair.

    I kept Bolton off my list because I fancy them to come good at some stage.

    Agreed. Too much quality to be down there for long and unlike Wolves not enough ignorant arrogant mercenaries to buck the trend.

    We were not exactly flying when they were fit!

    Is Macheda allowed to play on Tuesday seeing he wasnt with Doncaster at the time of the original game?

    The answer must be yes. What if a player was injured for the 1st game ? Wouldn't they be allowed to play ?

    Yet he returned to Manchester United for treatment so effectively the loan was cut short else he wouldnt be re-signing for Doncaster surely?

    He's a doncaster player at the time of this game, not cup tied as it's a league game... no reason he shouldn't play.

    He set up their first goal tonight, their win takes them above us.

    Isn't there an example in Charlton's history of a player who played for both teams in 'the same game' - that is, he played in a match for one team, match was abandoned, he was later transferred to the opponents and played in the rearranged match for them?
    I'm sure I've seen this in a matchday programme, or maybe on here.
    For some reason, I've got Port Vale in my head as the other team involved. Happy to be corrected.

    If you can remember the year I can check Home and Away with Charlton Athletic am sure the excellent Colin Cameron would have jumped on that

    With the "Addicks" he became the first player to play for the opposing club in a re-arranged match. He played for Charlton in their 2–1 home win over Vale after the original fixture was abandoned on the previous Boxing Day.[3]
