Concerning for Carden after Town humbling at Whitby
WARRINGTON Town's poor start to the season continued with a 4-0 humbling at the hands of Whitby Town. Trailing 1-0 at half time, the Yellows conceded within 30 seconds of the restart and the hosts added two more goals to complete a drubbing on a concerning afternoon for Paul Carden's side. The manager handed a debut to former Blackburn defender Patrick Gamble, signed shortly before the registration deadline. There was no real sign of what was to come in the first 10 minutes, with the only half sight of goal falling to Dontai Gabidon after goalkeeper Shane Bland's poor clearance. A poor clearance at the other end led to the opening goal on 13 minutes, the ball falling to Layton Watts on the corner of the penalty area and he squared for Matty Tymon to sweep home. Michael Woods came within a whisker of making it 2-0 midway through the half, hitting a loose ball on the volley against a post, before Li-Bau Stowell got down well to save from Donald Chimalilo. Carden made a double substitution at half-time, bringing on Liam Brazier and David Morgan for his Yellows debut, but they hadn't touched the ball and it was 2-0. Connor Smith's cross from the right was headed down by Tymon for Chimalilo in the centre of the box and he gave Stowell no chance. Two became three on 53 minutes, Watts' free-kick diverted home by Tymon, who managed to squeeze the ball inside the post despite not making the best of contacts with it. It was a long afternoon for the visitors after then, though they did at least muster a shot on goal when Morgan was denied by Bland. A fourth goal came on 79 minutes, Harley Dawson finding Smith in space on the right and his side-footed effort appeared to be going in before Watts made doubly sure. Three games in to their return to the Northern Premier League and the Yellows have just one point ahead of Tuesday's home game against Ilkeston Town. Whitby: Bland, Smith, Haswell, Nelson, Whelan (Collins), Gell (McGrath), Hawkins, Woods (Dawson), Tymon (Harrison), Watts, Chimalilo (McGinley). Warrington Town: Stowell, Melhado, Doyle, Dixon (Morgan), Bourne, Gamble, Gabidon, Daly (Lloyd), Lusiama (Brazier), Harris, Murphy. Unused subs: Waters, Macormac.

Report – Inter Milan To Miss Out As Sevilla Star Set To Join Bayer Leverkusen
Inter Milan are set to miss out on the signature of the Loic Bade, with the Sevilla defender set to join Bayer Leverkusen. This according to German broadcaster Sky Sports Deutschland, via FCInterNews. Loic Bade is one name that has emerged in Inter Milan's search for a defender. The Nerazzurri have already missed out on major targets such as Koni De Winter and Giovanni Leoni. However, there is still a sense that Inter could sign a defender late in the window. Particularly if Benjamin Pavard is to leave. Therefore, Inter have been sounding out other targets. Including Sevilla and France defender Loic Bade. Inter Miss Out – Loic Bade To Join Bayer Leverkusen MADRID, SPAIN – DECEMBER 22: Loic Bade of Sevilla FC looks on during the LaLiga match between Real Madrid CF and Sevilla FC at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on December 22, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by) In the meantime, however, German club Bayer Leverkusen have also made Bade a priority target. Inter had hoped to swoop in and hijack Leverkusen's deal for the 25-year-old, reports suggest. And Bade himself had reportedly stalled on a move to Leverkusen. If there was a possibility to join Inter, that would have been the France international's preference. However, according to Sky Sports Deutschland, Leverkusen are close to getting the deal over the line. The 2023-24 Bundesliga champions will pay a fee of around €30 million for Bade. Unless Inter are to make a quick move to sign bade ahead of Leverkusen, Sky Deutschland anticipate that the Frenchman will complete his move early next week.

Hurzeler verdict as Albion concede late leveller to Fulham
Fabian Hurzeler said he was pleased with Albion's performance as they were held to a draw by Fulham. But he was less happy about their work leading up to a late goal for the visitors. Rodrigo Muniz fired home from a corner deep in added time to cancel out a Matt O'Riley penalty. Th goal came from a flag kick after Jan Paul van Hecke had been forced to deflect a shot wide. Asked whether his side did enough to have opened the season with a win, Albion boss Hurzeler said: 'No, otherwise we would have won it. 'I think we defended really well, 96 minutes, and then there was one corner. 'I think it's not the corner, it's more the throw before and then the consequence after the throw in the corner. Latest from Albion.. ALBION 1 FULHAM 1: Seagulls concede in stoppage-time after O'Riley penalty 'I think that was the only shot they had during the game. I think that's something we have to do better, but overall I'm pleased with the performance. 'Of course, the team will get judged by the results, but we really should focus on the performance. 'We did so many things, caught so many positive things, and that's my main focus for the following week. 'Then I'm sure the results will come.'
