Does anyone know if any of the pubs in Derby tend to put game on? Neptune or The yard? Can watch it at home but wouldn’t mind going out somewhere.

We haven't seen a lot of them yet but the people who pick the team, who see them every day in training, who have decades of experience in coaching youth teams and knowledge of the step up between youth to senior football have seen them and aren't picking them.

They aren't good enough yet, otherwise they'd be in the first team... Who would you suggest from the U21s that is currently better than our starting XI? Brown might be the only one close IMO. Robinson, Weston, Fapetu, Wheeldon all have potential but not 1st team quality yet. I'm talking about bringing in 20-24 yr olds that have league experience. Unfortunately we are looking at Ireland, Scotland, lower leagues & Premier league cast-offs, because that's the pool we are fishing in at the minute.

Still have the oldest average age squad in the league. Hangover from not being able to pay money for players. Hopefully we can start to bring in a few more adventurous, energetic youngsters to inject a bit of pace & excitement back in to the squad. Feel that things are just a bit too slow at times. One or two in January would be a good start. Let's face it, the damage done by administration and embargos will take years to reverse. Need a bit of patience.
