Getting ahead of ourselves I know, but once new owners are hopefullly in place, and hopefully our finances are stabilising, I hope we as fans can persuade the new leadership to bring SN back to the club

It's a shame that the great rep of our away supporters gets tarnished by brain dead morons..no doubt similar morons involved from Coventry as well..

Well some Derby fans let our great club again there was nearly a fight kicked off right next to us and I prayed please dont start fighting lucky two lads causing the issues there dad gave them both clip round the ears. Told them to pack it up but then after the game Derby fans fighting with coverty city fans by there train station but once again I think to much beer or cider being drunck why cant they just enjoy a pint or two not to silly level were they no longer know what they are doing.

Totally agree and that's why I asked the follow up question about it in the latest list of questions that Rams Trust have sent to EFL. Not going to let them off the hook that easily. 

Agreed, when your rules are holding young players development back its time to have a good look at yourself 
 
I was disappointed (as if my expectations weren't low enough) of the EFLs reply to question in that essentially saying it was our choice to bring in a few experienced frees this summer instead of promoting them... Bol1@%s 
 
Imagine the the difference for Cashin playing amongst Curtis and Jags, compared to Cashin-Brown at the back! 
 
I seem to recall Bolton pulled out of fixtures saying their youth team getting destroyed by senior teams was actually detrimental to their development, that's how we'd have been without Jags, Curtis, Stears, Bolldock, Morriston etc
 
Rant over.... For now 

So much of what's gone on with the club must have effected the top end academy sides
 
Like has been mentioned, U23s and U18 have been stripped of top players for a lot of matches, but also for training too. For example Cashin has played for U23s as he can't play senior, but I'm assuming he's been training with the seniors more due to numbers, so they may not have trained together as much as would be ideal
 
Then there's the motivation others have mentioned, must be tough as an U23 talent knowing whatever you do, you can't play for the seniors
 
Theres also other factors like injuries ect, but I think that's the main crux of it

Indeed.
I think we'd have seen glimpses of Cashin (and possibly Liam Thompson and Luke Plange) in the first team this season if it wasn't for the EFL's ridiculous 'player of professional standing' rules.

It's a testament to his own personal resilience that he's recognised where he was in his life and then turned that around to a positive outcome helping other people whom have found themselves in the same place.

My daughter said it was well known in Derby that he was into drugs at the time, so credit to him that he has turned his life round and can share his story and helo other young peole in the same situation.

It's one thing that, possibly, Mel Morris had a point about. Instead of working with him, other Championship club owners have meekly accepted the status quo.

Makes you laugh, Derby v Palace U23s would obviously be denying Sky Sports of thousands of viewers of an Arsenal game. 
Will be in that fantastic TV deal the EFL signed.

As others have said, don't underestimate the impact of Covid.  There is still a pandemic on - despite what BoJo may try to have us believe - and people are still dying.  Sometimes, there are more important things than physically attending football matches.  I know I am at risk of coming across as a tad over-cautious, but as I know people it has affected, it has really spooked me - and I've had my 2 jabs & booster already.  
I just think that there are many others who are staying away altogether right now, to protect their and their families' health.  Were it not for this, I would expect the crowds to be at least in the 22k-25k range.   

The EFL are know for their rigorous 'Fit and proper person' assessments regarding football appointments...

But enough about David..... ?

Jagielka would have challenged their guy if Allsop had stayed on his line.
If you're coming that far for the ball, you take the ball and everyone around it. 
Was very poor goalkeeping but on the balance over his 4 league games he is still in credit.

Hold on, 3 clean sheets and it’s now panic stations?

We could have got a good 100pages of speculation out of that before you came in, being all well informed dropping your factual accuracy
