He sometimes plays in the U23s, but he’s only 17. I went to that U19 game against the Icelanders .. he caught my eye too. Fast, powerful. looking at where we seem to be at the moment I reckon the academy spending has been beneficial beyond any normal measure. How many current first team squad are our own products ? With more knocking on the door .. sensational, and more to come by the looks of things. I don’t know why but I find this so much more exciting than a 5 million signing from wherever.

Bogle, Lowe, Buchanan, Huddlestone, Bird, Knight, Sibley, Whittaker, Bennett, Mitchell-Lawson are those to have played this season. Ravas has also been on the bench. I don’t count Roos or Mitchell as academy products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It'll be interesting to see the churn this summer. I think Wassall could potentially attract some interest from lower league teams as a first team contender, wouldn't be amazed if he ended up at Burton as a squad player. It's a tricky balance between keeping enough players to field a competitive squad, and not hindering players who probably won't make the grade at this level, but could have a pro career elsewhere. Tough gig, whoever makes the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough gig, whoever makes the decisions. There’s a few at the sort of age where they need to be playing first team football - Ravas, Barnes, Yates, Wassall, Bateman, Babos, JML, Shonibare, Cresswell, Trialist. But we can’t let all of those go out as we’d struggle to field a first 11 never mind have subs on the bench. Difficult balancing act for Wassall Sr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult balancing act for Wassall Sr Yeah but there are some amongst them that could be 'later developers'. As I said I reckon Trialist could aim to be another Wardrobe. ?

Really growing into first team football. Always saw sending out our youth players on loan as the final nail in the coffin in terms of their career at Derby. But looking at how well Max Lowe did at Aberdeen last season and where he is now, I’m excited to see what happens with JML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but there's only really Max Lowe and Babos (although still nowhere near first team and his loan was to Spain) I can think of that's come back and stayed. Max Hunt, Max Elsnik, Charles Vernam, Callum Guy, Farrend Rawson etc etc all went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell has been out a few times. You can included Martin (and to a lesser degree Bryson) if not talking specifically about academy players.

rustylee Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Has anyone tried the current quiz on the official website to name the 22 academy players to make their debuts for the first team since 2010? After a couple of goes I got up to 20 but had to look up the other two it was doing my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
