Crewton Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 His Dad's comments are a touch ironic because a mate of mine who got talking to Archie's dad and uncle on one occasion told me they weren't happy Derby were playing him at LB. It sounds like Archie knew what he wanted and what suited him better than anyone. I hope he goes on to even greater things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. They were our class of 92. If the rest of the club hadn't been trashed by our ridiculous recruitment, we'd have had 7 homegrown players in a top 6 championship matchday squad from that group with Ebosele, Delap, Gordon and Kellyman coming through after them. Massive missed opportunity. Steve How Hard?, Crewton, Taribo and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was typically the LCB in the back 3 of our 18/19 U18 side and it was his main position for a couple of years before that too. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 From what I heard, Delap was never likely to sign a professional contract with us, but others might know better than me. It's still an incredible pool of talent though, and I don't think the club got enough national exposure for winning the U18 title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one who turned down a new deal and walked out on the club who nurtured to sign for a European team so we received minimal compensation. One of the reasons given in this article is that he thought he'd get more chance of first team action - at a time when we had about 7 academy products in the first team squad. It's worked out well for him, which is great, and a credit to him. But it leaves a bitter taste, much like Buchanan, Gordon and Delap. https://archive.ph/20211130171732/https://theathletic.com/2666370/2021/06/23/why-derbys-young-star-archie-brown-turned-down-a-new-deal-to-go-to-switzerland/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie was really a wing back, at a time we played a flat back four. He was one of my favourites from that under 18 team, so followed his career since. It's fair to say he had to work really hard at FC Lausanne - must have been hard for a young lad in a new country - and I wondered how he'd get on at Gent but he's fitted them like a glove. I'm so pleased for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams was behind Brown, but Brown probably would habe fell behind in the management's pecking order if he had stayed for an extra season. Williams didn't play for the U23s until the 2nd half of 20/21, the same season Brown played in every game until he decided to move on. The year before, Brown had scored 11 and assisted 3 in 21 U18 games. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't seem to have any affinity for the club at all. Fist visit back with the MC academy side he got himself sent off after playing well, but acting like a prize whopper. Think he might have kicked Cash actually, though perhaps I've mis-remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
