If I have a plea to the club at the moment, it is to give us better match reports on the academy games with full team news, starting 11 and subs. 

Without being there and with no access to the teamsheets we picked up at games it is really difficult to keep track of the young players. 

There are so many people associated with the club pitchside on matchdays it wouldn't be too much to ask, would it? I noticed Waggy was loitering at the Moor Farm game - good to see by the way - maybe he could diversify a little? ?

I totally agree.

And this little beauty posted in the 18/19 thread.

Wow! That is some strike.

Any idea who AR is in the dugout about 10 seconds into this video?

Popular belief is a loan has been lined up, but nothing has been stated so far. I imagine if he was injured, someone at the club would have mentioned it.

I think that’s what Hector-Ingram needs now is a loan at a decent level of first-team football to help him kick-on as, clearly, Cocu doesn’t think he’s ready for our first-team yet.

U18s already 2-0 up in their game. Cybulski and Bardell with the goals. 
 

 

 

Not heard of Sam Sebagabo or Callum Moore. U16s or new additions to the first-year scholars?

Finally managed to work out who is who from this season’s first-year scholars.

Left to right: Harvey Randle, Charlie Rutt, Cian Kelly Caprani, Eli Christie, Alfie Roberts, Dylan Williams, Olamide Ibrahim, Rhys Brailsford, Marko Borkovic.

First league game of the season for the U23s kicks off in just under an hour. 

Struggling to figure out the formation ?

Is Jahmal Hector-Ingram injured or has Jack Stretton moved above him in the pecking order at the moment?

I guessed that when Shonibare scored and JBrown was on the first team bench ?

Steve Devine, who played a few games for us in the 80's. The two of them played together for a little bit at Hereford.

Thanks, @Ghost of Clough. I kept hearing Stevie Ryan which I didn’t think was right. Turns out it wasn’t right. Steve Devine. Cheers.

About 27 seconds into this video, Gary Bowyer mentions who he’s working with on the U23 Backroom team. I couldn’t quite make out the name of the U23 Physio he mentions. Can anybody else make it out?

It was Shonibare, not Jordan Brown, as somebody has already mentioned

Anybody know who the subs were for the U23s and who came on for who?

He's a midfielder though, been around some time and I can't recall him being that tall. This guy was playing the number 9 role and appeared much taller.

Maybe he's grown and we've reinvented him as a centre forward! 

It's really hard to tell with the very brief highlights, camera angles etc.

Exactly. That’s why I’m not convinced it’s Aghatise. Think you’re probably right about it being one of the Trialists.

I suspect he is one of the "handful of trialists" that is referred to on the website!

I wondered if it was Osazee Aghatise...

...but, if it is, he’s had his hair cut since the Barnsley U23s game. He looks like the same player who scored in the Kidderminster Harriers game.

U23s beat Sheffield United 2-1 today. The new keeper played and there was a particularly fine goal from Tyree Wilson. Highlights: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2020/08/under-23-highlights-Derby-county-2-1-sheffield-united

Anybody got any idea who scored the second goal?

Left to right I think it's Harvey Randle - not sure - Cian Kelly Ciprani - Eli Christie - Alfie Roberts - not sure - Ola Ibrahim - not sure - Marko Borkovic.

The not sures are Charlie Rutt, Dylan Williams and Rhys Brailsford, I'm just not sure which is which.

A mixture of members of Derby County’s Under-23s and Under-18s, including a handful of trialists

Anybody know who the trialists were?

A Derby County U23/U18 team beat Barnsley U23s 2-1 today. None of the youngsters who played against Peterborough United played, although Scott Malone did.

Blame you for thinking Ibrahim is a centre back. 

Where did Ibrahim play today?

On 03/08/2020 at 16:46, Ghost of Clough said:

Two players who I have no idea where they play are Olamide Ibrahim (who I think has signed from Man Utd) and Rhys Brailsford.

According to a Man Utd colleague of mine, I found out this about Olamide Ibrahim: he’s right-footed, played CB or DM for Man Utd’s U16s and was captain quite often last season. Goes by the name of Ola.

Alfie Roberts:

Harvey Randle:

Found this for Marko Borkovic:

No other LBs at U23 level (unless you include Buchanan)

Didn’t Jordan Brown play LB for the U23s? One of the many positions the versatile youngster can play?

That’s who I meant by Kelly (Kelly Caprani). I must have missed the Maidenhead one?

I think Borkovic was at Maidenhead.
