Carl Sagan Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Congratulations to Max Bird whose achievements have been recognized by League Football Education, one of eleven youngsters across the Football League: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2017/10/derby-county-youngster-max-bird-recognised-by-lfe "‘The 11’ acknowledges the football and academic progress of Under-18 players on apprenticeships at current or former English Football League (EFL) clubs - and is also designed to assess other factors including involvement in community or charity based initiatives. "This accolade celebrates the holistic development of young players, a barometer which is also applied to the LFE Apprentice of the Year Awards presented at The EFL Awards dinner in April."

superzak Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just watched Rams tv meets Darren wassall...loved every minute...this guy is definitely undervalued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Another good win for the young Rams with a hard fought 1-0 win against Spurs. That's Liverpool, United & Spurs all beaten in the last 4 games with the only reverse being against the mighty Manchester City. Luke "the mini Messi" Thomas impressed again, as did Callum Guy in midfield. Hats off to Jason Shackell who has been an absolute colossus at back in the past month. He certainly deserves massive credit for his attitude and his leadership. Bring on Wolfsburg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Its a shame the Wolfsburg game is a home fixture. Otherwise I might have gone, only down the road for me. Any ideas why Derbys fixtures in the Premier league international cup all seem to be at Home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s basically a premier league plus guests tournament rather than being the equivalent to a youth champions league. Anyway, acccording to Wiki: “UEFA tried to block the creation of the tournament and refused to sanction its creation, to circumvent this all games will be hosted in England with games involving two foreign teams being held in neutral venues.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Luke Thomas looks pretty handy - From the highlights I've seen the u-23s seem to play some decent football - Are they as good live? Also - Saw Josh Barnes in the warm-up against Forest a couple of weeks ago - He looks very small for a keeper - He was making Mitchell look tall - Is he any good? Official site says he's 181cm (5 ft 9) - The successful 'small' keepers over the years have generally been a couple of inches taller than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing it said 5.9ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point - Never trust Google as standard then - 5ft 11 then - I retract my question The official site actually lists him as taller than Mitchell but he didn't look it in the Forest warm-up - Unless that wasn't him...

We seem to have some fantastic young prospects who can't be that far away from cup match starts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
