I might have a cheeky fiver on him replacing Solskjaer at Manu before Christmas. Mel’s managerial master plan!! £2m for Rowett-£6/7m for Lampard and Morris and £10m for Cocu and staff? Genius!!??

RoyMac5 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think that although our U23s showed how they could play last night, how many of them are ready for the 1st team? Is that why so many were played? As how many could we rely on throughout a long season? If they don't play lots of matches for us then they must surely go out on loan as going back to the U23s won't progress them as well, will it?

Who needs to buy and sell players lets just develop and change managers each year. That's one way of keeping Mel's hand from having to reach in his pocket.

Hard to say. With any other manager I'd probably say so, simply because it's the norm; but this is Cocu's thing. Cocu was brought in specifically because of his renown in bringing youth players through. I'm not entirely sure what to expect. He talked about a long term plan for each youth player, over up to 3 years; but not knowing what the stages of those plans are its hard to judge where he sees the players we've seen. But you have to assume playing in cup games and appearing on the bench for league games is later on in the process. The question, "Of the players we've seen how many could we rely on throughout a season?" is an interesting one. I wonder what the answer would have been from the majority if asked about Bogle at the start of last season? It's also again down to Cocu's plan exactly how relevant that question is. I'm definitely intrigued though. I look forward to seeing the direction we take and the decisions we make over the next 2 weeks; before the lower league's transfer window closes.

Ramarena Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I think we saw the players that Cocu thinks can make the step up last night. Knight Buchanan Bird Sibley Whitaker Expect to see them on the bench and getting minutes here and there as the season goes on. I think Knight will be this seasons break through talent and will get the most appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Knight, as for Bird after last night I truly believe he will make it and we could utilise him odd games but I think it would do him the world of good if he gets regular experience as below.

For me I'd want all bar Knight to go on loan until (at least) January. I want Derby to do well this season firstly, and also for the youngsters to progress - to progress they have to play?

Yes some will benefit from going out on loan, but you may not be able to get clubs for them, or the clubs that want them may not be a suitable fit. Several are clearly in the thinking for first team squad Knight being the obvious one. Sometimes being in and around the first team squad getting games is as good as going out on loan if not better. We didn’t have that many successful loan spells for our youngsters last year barring Lowe and Thomas. If Cocu wants to keep them in house so to speak then, I trust him to progress them in the right way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalk and cheese example I know, but there’s a reason why Ben Foden never goes out on loan, that’s because Pep presumably believes he can learn more training with the squad and playing odd games, previously odd under 23 games, than move elsewhere. Maybe Cocu feels some of Rams youngsters will learn just as much doing similar cameos, playing under 23’s than go out on loan?. Sibley, Whittaker and Buchanan might not be ready for our first team but are all so young they could go on loan anytime if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 We should offer some players out to Bolton, even if it means us paying the wages. Martin and Thorne both seriously need to get games, they are literally coming into training here for jack poo reason has they’ll never be near the first team. Get Bird out on a loan too.

Van der MoodHoover Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Would much prefer to see our youngsters being deployed this season than be crossing fingers waiting for the likes of Anya to regain fitness.

But... I doubt a seasoned pro would want to drop a division and go there, its not really a winning situation to be in and probably the only person at the club being paid would be pretty toxic for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
