Jevgenijs ‘The Hurricane’ Aleksejevs. Profile and record
Liam Palmer proved crucial in Sheffield Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Bristol City. Dimitrios Goutas played six matches in a congested February schedule, whilst Jacob Chapman was rested all the way through. Lewis Travis had joined Ipswich Town in a loan move until May.
MightyTips is proud to announce the sponsorship of defender Hayden Carter. Hayden unfortunately suffered an injury against Huddersfield Town back in January so has spent February sidelined.
Carter looks to return to action sometime in mid-April 2024.
Dimitrios Goutas had endured a good month - upholding his 7.01 average rating in the FL Championship. Although a rather unfortunate month for Cardiff, the Greek powerhouse had done his best to prevent any embarrassing score lines, despite a few losses.
Goutas had played six games in February, two wins, three losses, and one draw.

Chapman had mainly remained on the sidelines as a backup goalkeeper. The young goalkeeper was third choice behind Huddersfield’s seniors, Chris Maxwell and Lee Nicholls, who have done enough to keep Chapman away from the number one spot.
