    roboto reacted to angieram in Morecambe v Derby (A) Matchday thread   
    We have been here since Wednesday so it's a bit late to cancel anything now! 
    I don't mind football being postponed if theatre, concerts, cinemas etc are postponed too. But apparently they will continue. 
    Where is the consistency?

    Collins was still up top when Sibley came on, then Osula came on to replace Collins a little while later.
    The substitutions weren’t great but I don’t think we can let Sibley off the hook because of formation. McGoldrick was simply much more effective today and we lost control of the midfield when he went off. Sibley should’ve been an outlet for the midfield, but was ineffective once again.
    Thompson had a nightmare and I feel that Rooney is currently a better option for DM cover on current form as well as being more imposing physically.
    Those first two subs (Sibley and Thompson) were the turning point in my opinion.

    I think it’s been mentioned already, but the first two subs from us totally changed the game (for the wrong reasons for us).
    McGoldrick was bossing it and Hourihane doesn’t work well in that position.
    Sibley (out of position etc etc…) wasn’t as effective as he had been recently and Dobbin was brought on too late.
    Hope LR learns from this one. It stings, but we have a lot of games left and with Collins now finding the net and Didzy getting fitter we will bounce back next time.

    I understand that you are infatuated with Louie, but Derby County is a team and the squad are working together well so far (with or without your beloved Sibbo on the pitch).
    Its boring reading every post from you mention what we all know you think about Sibley and some of your recent ramblings regarding Rosenior’s choices are just making some readers like me ignore the posts of someone who I think was once a thoughtful and insightful poster on here.
    Give it a rest for a bit. We know your feelings on the situation. If we lose a few where Sibley could’ve made a difference then you can tell us all that you were right all along.

    Point 1 - The players we have lost from the academy, that were around the first team, were players we had got from other teams quite recently and we didn't really do too much with their development. I think Festy was the longest serving player from the academy who left this summer. We couldn't stop the sale of Kaide Gordon or Liam Delap due to the nature of how the youth system and contracts currently work, but they also both left before we were in admin.
    Point 2 - We've got academy players on the cusp currently. Darren Robinson being the most prominent, but Carlos Richards and Bartosz Cybulski have been involved with the first team this season and Ola Ibrahim and Osazee Aghatise are there or thereabouts with their development too. We don't have a lot of players at academy level at the moment so I do expect the recruitment team to actively be looking for players to add to these squads through the season to help bolster, and hopefully we can give a chance to the next Plange/Ebiowei too. Jake Rooney looks to be a signing with this in mind. Signed and announced for u21s, but he's looked ready for first team football each time he's had his opportunity.

    roboto got a reaction from Rich84 in Joe Haigh signed on a half season loan   
    Perhaps we are guaranteeing him game time of some sort for the season that he might struggle to get regularly at Chelsea? I imagine he needs regular minutes and then the odd chance to move up to the first team to play in cup comps and cover injuries.
    We are allowed a max of 8 loans (5 in a match day squad). We currently have 3, with Anang out for a few more weeks too. If we bring him in on loan and Osula from Sheff U (or other striker) then that brings us up to 5 total. We could have space for another loan (RB?) in the squad until Anang is available again and then we'd just need to drop one loan player from the match day squad each game to be within the limits.
    He seems to be a versatile player with a lot of positive reviews regarding his potential and playing style.
  25. Cheers
