    It’s back 5 Moore as a RWB Bardell inside him. Richards pushes into the middle as a 3 with Gibson-Hammond and Brown / Oseni up top as a 2.

    Richards play as a 10 with Radcliffe and Fapetu behind. 

    So was it 4-3-3 in the first-half @ExiledinDerby, changing to the 3-5-2 the first-team have been playing after the break?

    To be fair - its a legal requirement for a business over a certain value (cannot remember the threshold, something like £10 Million) to provide a detailed set of accounts to companies house which is then viewable by everyone.

    So I would say, we as fans are entitled to it. However, to fully understand it below the bottom line P&L/Balance Sheet, you need to be Kieron Maguire (or Ramblur - I hope he is still doing OK).

    The frustration with the accounts is that because businesses publish them so close to the final deadline, its actually almost irrelevant for the current year.

    Didn’t Clowes say in his interview that the accounts would be published in March?

    Happy to be wrong but he's no Didzy and definitely not someone I'd have on the wage bill going into (potentially) the championship next year.

    To be fair, when we signed McGoldrick, in the twilight years of his career, I didn’t expect him to go on and have the most prolific season of his career.

    For what it’s worth, this is the best belper squad I’ve seen

    I agree @Srg. I don't get to watch the Nailers anywhere as much as I'd like but the Belper Team last night looked very good - hopefully a successful promotion push for BTFC.

    I always find these "Men v Boys" clashes intriguing and it's very interesting to see how the young Rams cope with the physicality and "know how" (aka Dark Arts) seasoned non-league players bring.

    How did they look, was the 12 worth signing? 😄

    The #12 looks like an overage U21 player to me 😂 but he did well at CB. He was talking all the time, talking Osayande alongside him through the game, and was very vocal especially when the defence needed to push out. I think he’ll be a good ‘un. At one point, Johnson gave the assistant referee a right ear bashing, telling him you could clearly see from the direction of travel of the ball that the Belper player touched the ball last… and that was for a throw-in.

    The Derby County XI, both halves, looked disjointed, like they hadn’t played together much which, in fairness, they probably haven’t. Loach was solid in goal as you’d expect, defensively and in midfield I thought the young Rams more than held their own, but Belper Town were far too streetwise for our young attacking players and we didn’t create much for the first 70 minutes or so.

    Their first goal I didn’t see very well as I was talking to someone I hadn’t seen in months. I saw an innocuous ball put into our penalty area which I thought our defence would deal with and then it was in the back of the net but I missed it as I was talking. I saw someone said it was a good goal but, I felt, we should have defended the ball better.

    I was impressed with Bartley in central-defence, an upgrade there on last season for me, he’s vocal, looks like a leader, read the game pretty well, and looks like he can pass as well.

    K.Robinson, alongside Bartley, also impressed but in a competitive match he could easily have been sent off. Robinson caught Bastos in the face and received a yellow card which, in a competitive match could easily have been a straight red, and he was involved in a couple of other physical incidents. On the plus side, good to see him getting stuck in against a physically strong men’s team.

    The second-half cohesion was disrupted by a string of substitutions by both teams, but we did look more of a threat going forward in the last 20 minutes, although Belper had also used all their subs by then.

    I was impressed by Oseni and Wheeldon worked very hard as well. For our goal, Belper were attacking, Wheeldon won the ball with a clean tackle just inside our half, he then took the ball forward about 10-15 yards, before slotting a lovely pass into the path of Oseni. Oseni burst into the penalty area, looked to go past the goalkeeper, and was brought down just wide of the six-yard box. Oseni dispatched the penalty with ease, although the goalkeeper did get a hand to it.

    For Belper’s second goal, Bastos (the best player on the pitch for me) was just too fast and skilful. Bastos got past Osayande in our half of the centre-circle and sprinted away from him, our second-half goalkeeper made a half-save, I’d say, pushing the ball straight up in the air inside the six-yard box, leaving Bastos to follow up and head the ball into the net.

    I did see Radcliffe, D.Brown and Cox at the match but they weren’t being risked and will probably feature in some part against Chesterfield. Thompson was also there.

    Surprised that Jack Bates didn’t feature at all, I wonder if he’s injured.

    Buxton was the one who was barking instructions from the technical area, with A.Robinson also there.

    I may not have these all correct, but I think the team v Belper Town first-half was:

    1 Loach

    2 Moore, 5 Bartley, 6 K.Robinson, 3 Richards?

    7 ???? 4 Fapetu, 8 Hawkins

    11 Nunn, 10 Lindsay, 9 Weston

    —

    In the second-half, Moloney came on at the break and there were three further substitute stoppages. The team that finished the match (apologies for any mistakes) I think was:

    13 Shattell?

    19 Osayande, 12 Johnson, 14 Moloney

    18 Perry, 22 Simons, 16 Allen? 20 Gough

    15 Wheeldon, 17 Davidson

    21 Oseni

    —

    Football Webpages suggest 3 was Brown and 7 was Fatona (although they also suggest 13 was Evans, which he certainly wasn’t - well not Harry Evans any way).

    Any idea who the trialists were? The lads from Rangers? 

    No. The only trialist I’ve seen confirmed is Charlie Lindsay (Rangers) but with reported interest from three Championship clubs, I’m not sure if Lindsay is still with us or not.


    It will be interesting to see what team a Derby County XI select tonight. With the first-team playing at Chesterfield tomorrow, it’s going to be a mix of U21s, U18s, and trialists.

    I’m looking forward to a good game of Guess the Trialist.

    I know I posted this in the 22/23 thread but I thought I'd post it again in the Academy Thread 23/24 for reference. I'm working on the U21 appearances and goals and will post that as well when I've finished it.

    U18s - appearances and goals 2022/23 Season

    Based on soccerway, cross-referenced with the Official Derby County website (where there was an U18 match report), these are the U18 appearances and goals stats for the 2022/23 Season as far as I can tell:

    U18s_1.thumb.png.c46393b618179d118679b622b8f27a24.png

    U18s_2.thumb.png.5035bc6d8d7c9d96ca2a6ad5f34f037f.png

    U18s_3.thumb.png.20a549af98f0b0481c87ccf997e8f593.png

    Bumped so we can see the U18 appearance and goals scored numbers last season for the new scholars.
