In the modern game it's brutal but you have to be heightist with keepers. Given was probably the shortest to play in the Premier League, yet we wasted our time with Mitchell who was a couple of inches shorter still. It seems Foulkes has signed, so I hope he's at least over 1.86m (6 foot 1). RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Baker at 5'9" when he played for Ipswich is I think the smallest in the PL era, as you say though Given was on the smaller side for a keeper especially as when he was coming through there was a rush of getting giant Scandinavian keepers in for cheap. I'm the same age group as Given and 5' 10 1/2" and was told at 17 that I was too small and was released from a league club, my best mate who was at Derby at the same time was a bit smaller than me and was also released albeit a year later. You have to be pretty special to be on the shorter side and make it, eg. Given, Casillas. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched the highlights a few times, I reckon the Team and Subs (with some I’m not sure about) was: 1 Roberts, 2 Brailsford, 3 Moloney, 4 Robinson, 5 Ryan, 6 Christie ?, 7 Trialist B (Richards), 8 Sebagabo, 9 Dixon, 10 ????, 11 Reece-Davies. Subs: 12 ????, 14 ????, 15 Cybulski, 16 ????, 17 ????, 18 Grewal-Pollard Anybody able to confirm and / or fill in the gaps? @Ghost of Clough? Wouldn’t surprise me if some of the gaps were trialists.

I did wonder if 14 was Seb Thompson but knew he went off injured in the first-half against Matlock. Looks like he’s made a speedy recovery.

Foulkes Bardell Solomon JBrown WGP Matthews Clarke ADG Aghatise SThompson Plange This CB partnership gives a big hint towards the first team selection which will be announced in 20 mins. Its good to see JBrown back, who must fancy his chances of having a run in the first team this season. If my memory is correct, Wilson is the only player we haven't seen in pre-season yet. Hopefully, his recovery is going as expected. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Lost 2-0 but still missing a lot of senior U23s. Bench was full of 16 year olds. Cashin, Williams, LThompson, Dixon, Wilson, and Cybulski missing from the squad. Hutchinson will likely be involved a lot with the U23s this season too, with him being on the fringes of the first team RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, his recovery is going as expected. Of the U23s, I think Connor Dixon, Bobby Duncan, Tyree Wilson and Jack Stretton (muscle strain) are the ones with no pre-season playing time so far. Stretton is probably in the first-team squad, at least for now. Is Wilson still injured, @Ghost of Clough? I assume this is from when he went off injured in the penultimate U23 game of last season against Man Utd. Do we know what his injury is? I, too, wish him a speedy recovery. I’ve been tracking playing time minutes for pre-season as best I can (given that I’ve not seen confirmed lineups or any reports for the U18s game v Burton Albion U18s) and will post these shortly.

Stuniverse Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Academy pre-season playing time These stats are correct, to the best of my knowledge, up to 31st July 2021 Derby County U23s v Sheffield United U23s, with the exception of the U18s game v Burton Albion for which I have been unable to find confirmed team lineups or reports. If anybody has the team lineup for the U18s v Burton Albion U18s and, even better, timings of substitutions please let me know. Many thanks.

I've assumed Dixon is with the first team. With no signings, it would be Dixon and LThompson providing the cover for Shinnie and Bird. Wilson could still be injured or struggling with the off-field stuff. Either way he needs more time. Stretton definitely in the first team and has returned to training. Duncan awol.
