Rample Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Surprised about Marriott situation, can't see him accepting any reduced deal if there's no guarantee of playing. Shame but it frees more wages up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a few surprises in there and this is the biggest for me - Thought he looked decent and a little surprised we're letting him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Quote Under-23 squad players out of contract beyond summer of 2021 and offered new terms: Archie Brown, Festy Ebosele. Hope we sign him up! ramit, r_wilcockson and roboto 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Bizarre that Marriott's extension was withdrawn by the EFL. Would love to hear more on that one. Massively surprised with the U23s. I felt Foster had a serious chance of being our first choice keeper in a couple of years, and Shonibare could have been a useful squad option for the first team. I also expected Idem to stay on to compete with Foster as the 3rd choice GK. Also surprised we've left it so late to tie Festy and Archie to new deals.

Seth's left foot Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 With my glass half full head on, I’m hoping that this is the first step before the new owners are announced and Rooney has some money to spend. I’m glad that the squad has finally thinned out IF the above scenario is true so that the club can finally start operating correctly. But this is Derby isn’t it...

Struggled to cement a place in a L1 side last season so it would have been a big ask for him to step up to our first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, Foster's the most complete GK we've had in the academy for a very long time. I know he struggled with ankle injuries from time to time so that may have been a factor.

roboto Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Really hope Archie and Festy continue with us. They would provide excellent cover next year if their current progression is a sign of things to come. Surprised with the Goalkeepers. Not sure how Ravas has done out on loan to be fair, but though he was down the pecking order behind Foster and Idem. Looks like we'll be signing one or two young keepers for the U23 at least. Not bothered about Marriott at all. He can go, not sure why some on here give him such praise and slag off someone like Lawrence when Lawrence has made himself available, trained to the standard required and played an important part in the team for the last few seasons. Marriott has had a couple of purple patches but hasn't held down a spot in the squad under the last few managers. He needs to go. Wisdom, Waghorn and Davies. I can see the need for getting the contracts sorted for these after seeing us only having 14 first team players under contract at the end of the month currently. All in all. The wage bill is being slashed, the youth players are bright and exciting, but we need to bring in some real quality and first team experience to bolster the squad for next season.

We are in talks with them but no doubt offered them substantially less wages. If we are going into next season with Wisdom as a first choice CB, we're in trouble.

Ghost of Clough Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I believe that leaves us with the following squads (assuming all agree deals to stay): First Team G - Roos, Marshall, Ravas D - Byrne, Wisdom, Davies, Buchanan, Forsyth, Ebosele, McDonald M - Bielik, Shinnie, Bird, Knight, Sibley, Watson W - Lawrence, Jozwiak, Ibe F - Kazim, Waghorn, Marriott, Stretton U23 G - D - Bardell, JBrown, Cashin, Solomon, Grewal-Pollard, Archie M - CDixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Aghatise, Clarke, Matthews, Perez de Gracia W - Wilson, SThompson F - Duncan, Plange, Cybulski U18 G - Roberts, Randle, Evans D - Brailsford, Rutt, Christie, Williams, Maloney M - Ibrahim, Sebagabo, More, Robinson, Fapetu, Aideyan, Ryan W - Borkovic, Kelly, Eze, Nicholas-Davies F - ZDixon DCFC1388 and Stuniverse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Could it be that we were under a soft embargo when Marriott was offered the new contract and the terms exceeded the allowed amount under that embargo. That's only a guess and not fact but it does seem very strange that the EFL would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
