How are we looking @angieramPlange sounds interesting, the keeper too from what you've said. Hope Clarke gets on, I thought he looked good in midfield end of last season.

We are under the cosh, tbh, losing out physically so ball keeps coming back at us.

Goalkeeper has made a string of saves although might have been slightly out of position for free kick. Good handling and distribution so far.

The paper boy (Alex Matthews) showing well for ball and good distribution too. Keeps getting clattered and coming back for more, that lad has spirit! Most of our attacking moves breaking down on  wings so only had one other shot on target.

[angieram]

Clarke, Moore, Christie and Kelly on now. Haven't seen any of them before so guesswork who's who.

Sorry, gone walkabout this half (literally.) 

Not much organisation or leadership on the pitch this half. 

[angieram]

Half price pasties! 

[Pearl Ram]

Check the sell by date. ?

[angieram]

Well, I am not too sure how much we gain from an experience like tonight (but I am sure Pat Lyons will tell me later on Rams TV). ?

With all the second half substitutes and triallists involved it was a very disjointed performance. 

Not much to add, except to say the goalkeeper continued to impress, and Cybulski, when he came on, seems to have added a bit of strength to his game  which was good to see. 

Rest of players really were not a physical match for the Gladiators, so difficult to assess their performances.

Brilliant to see some live football again and to catch up with footy friends in a lovely setting.

I’ve got socks older than most of the Derby team tonight,but it was good to get back to live football. You just know your at non league football when the stadium announcer says ten minutes from time  there’s a few pasties left at a reduced price

Where are Liam Thompson and Conor Dixon, GOC? Not seen either of them around first team squad and not there last night either (as far as I could see.)

Where's Duncan then, came the cry?

Just seen Thompson in the latest RamsTV video. I would assume Dixon is also there.

Ibrahim is another missing from the U18/23 team last night.

They've split the 3 squads into 2, so i guess they've more or less split it based on age - 2nd year pro in with the first team. Williams and Ibrahim being the exceptions.

Pretty certain I’ve seen Dixon in a lot of the first team training shots and videos 

I wonder if he’ll be one who quietly enters the first team picture. Like Knight when he quite suddenly was in the picture a couple of years back

Thanks. I hadn't spotted him, which is strange as he looks so distinctive. Dixon is a year older than most of his teammates, been hampered by injury, so this is an important season for him. Hope you're right because I really rate him.

U23s not involved last night:
JBrown, Cashin, Dixon, LThompson, Hutchinson, Wilson, Duncan

U18s not invovled last night:
Randle, Evans, Williams, Rutt, Ibrahim, Sebagabo, Fapetu, Aideyan, Ryan, Borkovic, Eze

 

I've only spotted the following in the pics and clips from the training camp: Williams, LThompson, Hutchinson

I think Ibrahim was at the match last night, not in matchday gear. Could have a knock. Didn't spot anyone else I thought I recognised but it's so long since I have seen some of them (if at all!)
