Tammy Abraham turned down a move to the Premier League this week. He is not the only youngster who could step up
By Martin Laurence for WhoScored
Tammy Abraham has already been offered a chance to play in the Premier League in this transfer window. He rejected a loan move to Wolves earlier this week in favour of staying with Aston Villa to help with their push for promotion. Not every player would turn down a Premier League club but his decision may prove wise. There’s little doubt the 21-year-old striker will be a Premier League player next season, wherever that may be, so his choice to stick with a side and system that play to his strengths is admirable. Abraham, who has two England caps, is the joint top scorer in the Championship this season with 16 goals in 20 appearances – and 12 of those goals have come in his last 10 games. Rating: 7.40

Caretaker manager became too old-fashioned a concept for the Premier League so in came a new kind of stopgap: the interim
Whatever happened to the caretakers? While Manchester United appeared to break new ground by securing Ole Gunnar Solskjær on loan from Molde until the end of the season, the Norwegian’s announcement as the club’s interim manager was more in keeping with the modern trend.
While Blackburn’s perennial safe pair of hands Tony Parkes and Stuart Gray, who took the temporary reins at six clubs (Aston Villa, Wolves, Burnley, Portsmouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham), had to make do with the caretaker role in the 90s and 00s, it has become increasingly common for clubs to opt for a longer short-term appointment to varying degrees of success.

Norwich extended their winning streak to six matches as Daniel Farke’s free-scoring side cemented their hold on the Championship summit after strolling to victory at Swansea.
It was an imperious performance and another attacking masterclass with Norwich flaunting their firepower by running in four goals for a third consecutive game. Three goals in a 21-minute burst overwhelmed Swansea before Daniel James pulled a goal back but Teemu Pukki scored his 10th of the season after the break to put the gloss on a superb display and curb optimism in south Wales.

Pitting top academy sides against Football League clubs was controversial but it gives young players invaluable experience
By Gavin Willacy for Playing in the Shadows
Few will remember it by its original title, the Associate Members Cup. Many will be familiar with its official name: the EFL Trophy. But for those of us who have seen a Leyland DAF Trophy semi-final at Tranmere, an Autoglass Trophy preliminary round group game at Rochdale, Auto Windscreens Shield ties at Millwall, and Johnstone’s Paint Trophy at Morecambe, the current Checkatrade Trophy is rather surreal.
Results so far this season include: Yeovil Town 4-0 West Ham, Newport County 3-0 Chelsea, and Cheltenham Town 6-2 Arsenal. Yes, these were the young reserve teams of the high and mighty, but just revel in the bizarreness for a moment.
