My niece taught him at school. She was openly emotional when I explained to her how well he’s getting on at DCFC.

Srg Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Nice to see a bit of a relationship forming with Gateshead. Clearly trust going both ways after Brown’s loan, then Oseni joined on a free too. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Darren Robinson played 85 minutes of NI u21s game against England last night and defended stoutly with his teammates to secure a well deserved 0-0 draw. Liam Delap came on in the second half for England, blasted England's best chance of the game straight at the keeper, and was described by the commentators as "another product of the Manchester City Academy" 🙄 Well played Darren.

They were playing "count the Man City graduates" as a way of bigging up the challenge for the NI lads. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 2 hours ago, Foreveram said: Watford may be a short trip for you, it took me over 3 hours, 😟plus the team traveled down on the Friday. Haha. But 90 minutes from Derby to St Pancras, then half an hour out to Watford Junction. Obviously it's a one-off and doesn't matter that the team travelled down on Friday. If Warne had wanted it to happen it would have been straightforward to make it happen. I'm saying I'm disappointed he won't have even thought of it, and it's part of the lack of opportunity for academy players that has been well documented.

Legally speaking, he's still a child. He's also tiny. Irrespective, how often does a player in any age group get asked to play in 2 games on consecutive days anyway? Zero chance of him starting for the men's team (he did not start for the U21s game) and almost no more chance of him getting even a few minutes either. And all this before we even consider your Friday night public transport suggestions, which I doubt would please many of us parents were it our kid in question. As it stands, he's just signed his first pro contract with the club so I'd take that at a fairly solid indicator that he and his folks are more than happy with the way things are progressing. What I don't see is any evidence that he's being held back, or that his progress is being stunted in any way, shape or form. The club is bringing him along nicely, giving him game time outside his U18 peer group and he's drawing plaudits and envious glances, both domestically and from a wider international audience too. What's not to like? Foreveram, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Crewton and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
