Bart doesn't seem as out of place physically with the 23s, at U18 level he looked a good foot taller than everyone else on the pitch, but now people seem to be a bit nearer to his stature, which may make him a bit more ordinary. Only seems to be here to make up the numbers really, just getting games due to other options being indisposed.
Foulkes looks promising, a long time since we had a keeper at this level who looks like they could develop into more than a loanee.
Borkovic will make it into the first team squad if he can keep fit, the fact he is still a scholar makes him a rare commodity.
 
 
 

I figure given the length of the deals we have used a loophole to get cover for CKR (and I'm guessing Bielik) whilst they recover.
Effectively if we're still in the doop in January the EFL will pull the rug and stop us keeping them, dropping us back down to 23. Registering Cashin if it were even possible, would a) complicate matters, and b) not give the team the experience/calmness Jagielka seems to.
I can't imagine there will be no more outgoings/Incomings before the end of the month, so wise to view it as a squad of 23 and then the 2 emergencies as a seperate thing.

Perhaps this short term contract is until January, to cover Beilik's injury.

Baldock getting the 9 shirt I feel is further evidence that the plan was to go into the season with him leading the line. His goal record is poor and I don't think it will change too much here but I also don't think it's why he's being signed. I suspect he's being signed to get Lawrence scoring regularly. I think the plan tactically is that Baldock stretches the defence, putting the centre backs on the back foot so that Lawrence has space in front of the defence to operate. This is very similar to how Rowett deployed Nugent in order to give Vydra time and space.
Personally I wouldn't judge him too much on how much he scores and don't expect him to score more than around 5, judge him on if the attacking midfield behind him starts scoring more.

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man - was it a surprise to Brighton that we’re playing in white shirts and black shorts ? Add to that watching on a lap top - and this is a challenge ! 

Watching on Rams TV - can't tell the teams apart.

Maybe someone like Connor Wickham? As he is a free agent, I don't see him signing on 4.5 k a week though that is the problem .

Thanks Christine. 

Sibley’s petulance wasn’t an issue here - he was fouled in front of the ref and grabbed the ball thinking he’d get the free-kick, especially when the Peterborough player kicked the ball at him twice - that should have been where the yellow card went.
His two cards have been harsh - the one on Tuesday was his first offence, after Salford had bern clogging our players without consequence, and yesterday’s was just plain wrong.
 
His best position is as a number 10 which has bern given to our Tom, even though he has absconded from that position. If we don’t give Sibley a good run in the team we will lose him, and then watch him flourish somewhere else.
 

Gutted. When we were 1-0 up, Sibley was on fire and Stretton had scored I was feeling good about things.
Shows how fragile we are that they could put a bit of pressure on and we crumbled.
Jozwiak substitution was a mistake.
 

We're finished.
If this is our squad we're done.
The manager is tactically inept. How many times under him have we been 1-0 up and lost the game?
No idea what our plan was that game. Almost playing with 6 in midfield at times.
The mess before their first goal started with Forsyth not even trying to win the header and the lack of effort from Jozwiak to even stop their player was a joke. His reaction when they scored to, didn't look remotely bothered.
Where was the logic in bringing Jozwiak on right at the end? 
The second goal is disgraceful too. Davies and Bird going for the same ball and what Byrne was doing is anyone's guess. Just put your foot through it. 
There's no doubt in my mind we will go down.
I can't see anyone coming in, we can't even afford working TVs, staff in the ticket office, roadriders. So how we going to pay wages?
We have just played against a team who have conceded 7 goals in 2 games.
Please someone explain why we didn't go at them from the start.
What has Sibley got to do to start a game?
 

Did think it was an odd one at the time. Not really the player to bring on to see a game out.  Morrison could drop deep and do that .

Pathetic defending, the experience we have in the back 4 should have helped us see the gane out. But instead they challenge each other in the air and decide to fluff their clearances.

Posh shouldn’t have taken Jack Marriott off.
We were fine until then!

Bringing off Morrison for Jozwiak proved to cost us dearly.

Gutted for Jack Stretton.
Other than that; everyone else has already said it. Deep, deep trouble. 

Agreed, with one exception. I think Festy has the highest ceiling due his physical attributes.
I hate the idea we'll sell him just because our manager doesn't see his potential or even worse, don't know how to use it. 

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd be quite as effusive in my praise but Sibley is one of the few attacking talents we have. Once Watson came off against Huddersfield the dynamic of the game changed, we looked like we could score from open play and that was because Sibley was the only one running beyond and stretching their backline. He's a massive asset for us if used correctly and if he gets a yellow card every other game because he's young and ill disciplined for my money it's something that we currently have to live with. From what I've seen he's the best academy talent we've produced out of the bunch that are currently playing and yet we're basically wasting him with sub appearances and playing him out of position. 

It's a shame that more people haven't had the pleasure of watching him in academy games. He was always the best player on the pitch, often it wasn't even close. The only player that looked remotely close that I can remember was Saka for Arsenal. 
He scored a hattrick because it's within his ability to do that at Championship level. We are talking about giving Ravel Morrison the freedom of Derby to develop and become the player that he has threatened to be. I would love us to do that with Sibley. Young players are going to have bad spells - Jason Knight was rolled out week-in, week-out last season when he was going through it. Sibley doesn't perform miracles within 10 minutes and people say he hasn't done enough. I don't get it personally. 
I am in no doubts whatsoever that Sibley is the best player this club has on its books and the highest ceiling of any Derby player I have ever seen. He is special in exactly what we lack; it's the greatest tragedy in football that we aren't affording him the time to showcase his ability even if he doesn't score a hattrick every game. In my opinion, of course. 

Although i wouldn't sell him at the moment as we need a squad,I dont think he has progressed and whenever he comes on doesn't really do enough  to push himself into the staring line up.

    Morrison.         Sibley
Jozwiak.    CKR.    Lawrence.
 
Obviously Buchanan is doubtful. So Forsyth left back if he is.
Peterborough have conceded 7 goals in 2 games so I'd like to see us play a bit more attacking and play one CDM. Can always have Morrison drop back if needed. 
I get the people saying Ebosele should start.
I just think impact off the bench against tired full backs could be better.
Jozwiak needs games to build up his match fitness.
FWIW I think Rooney will play Bird and there's no chance he'll play Sibley.
 
 
 

My Mrs keeps calling Jozwiak Daniella Westbrook.
