Yes, he was eligible because he was born in England to Irish parents, which also means Liam would have been eligible to play for them as well, and still would be at an older level.

Would imagine that that secures them as winners of the North, would take Liverpool winning their last two games by an 11 goal margin to overtake them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Brilliant result today for the under 18s. I felt for them after the defeat to Man Utd. I think onext of Liverpool's two remaining matches is against Man City so hopefully Liverpool lose that one and our young Rams can win by a points margin rather than just on goal difference. As aboveLiam Delap scored one of the goals today - he is fifteen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Caps a great day to be a Rams fan rather well, I think. Can't wait to see some of our academy players forcing their way into the senior squad over the next few years. Some really exciting talents in both U23s and U18s. The future looks bright.

I'd be shocked if Liverpool can score 11 unanswered goals to overturn the goal difference in just 2 games, especially as they have to play Man City.

I've always thought he was one of the steady ones. I've never thought to myself "Wassall's been the best player on the pitch today", but I've never thought "this lads just not at it" either. For me though, gauging a players ability based solely on academy performances is really challenging. Players who were average at academy level have become stars, players who dominate academy games have gone on to do nothing. So far, for example, Elsnik is looking like one of the latter. I've personally considered Max Hunt to be the better CB this year - but this guys a professional scout and I'm just a guy who watches football. The only player I've been right about, so far, has been Jayden Bogle ? I suppose there's still time for Elsnik to come good. Everyone else has let me down ?

Certain scouts will put more emphasis towards 'the basics' whereas others value 'playing out from the back'. To me, Wassall is our best defender at the basics (heading, tackling, reading play, etc) He's also a leader. But, he's not very quick, and playing with a high line means he gets exposed. His passing range is nowhere near the level of Hunt, instead typically sticking to short passes to a man in space. In a team set up more defensively, he'll do well and could have a solid career at League 2 level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
