Loan watch: Patino and Rekik achieve huge wins

In the battle to avoid relegation from the Championship, both Charlie Patino and Omar Rekik saw their sides claim huge victories as the season enters the final fortnight.

Patino helped Blackpool to a huge win in their bid to avoid the drop as they claimed a 1-0 triumph at Auston Trusty’s Birmingham City. Ian Poveda’s strike was enough to hand Blackpool their first away win since October, with caretaker boss Stephen Dobbie playing Charlie for the full game, on what was his 35th appearance of the season.

They are now three points from safety with two games remaining, one place and one point above Rekik’s Wigan Athletic who kept their slim chances of staying up alive by beating Millwall 2-1, with our defender playing 66 minutes.
