Duracell Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 highlights on rams player can't see much to get excited about.....no4 looks tidy but not alot there You can't tell from 1 game, I thought a good few of them looked excellent against Liverpool so it's not easy to tell. Mats Morch looks like a steady pair of hands though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 maybe....maybe not with Colin Todd you could tell within 5 seconds Thing I will never know, but has always made me wonder, would Todd have been so good if he played today, with the pass back rule, it was his favorite way to get out of trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiffy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 colin todd .....in trouble ??? does not compute computer says no I dont give two hoots what your computer says, you are not the only one that saw him mate, he passed back to the goalie more than any defender I have ever seen. He was good, not in my all time Derby favs though, but thats just my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A depressing thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Todd passed back because you could then. It was a way of keeping possession. He more than made up for it with his tackling, reading of the game, speed and ability to make pinpoint passes to our midfield and forwards. Mind you, he was a record signing for a defender, it was the equivalent of manure paying £30m for Rio Ferdinand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Clough has said that there are now almost a full team line up of youth players who have the potential to make the step up yo the first team. These are players in the U15s U16s such as Bennett and players currently on scholarships. You can get a good idea of who some of the players showing the most potential by looking at which players have already had international youth call ups. We have two lads with the England U17s for the fitdt time in ages. Wixted and another 1st year scholar are with the Ireland U17s. Youth players impressing the coaches usually get call ups to the reserves regularly too. Sharpe, at left back and Lelan at centre back are two to look out for. Galinski and Morch are both 2nd years now but have been showing further progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hayes is the other Eire U17s. lad He has been called up for their match in Kazakhstan. Other names to look out for are Kwame Thomas Raven and Rawson from the U16s and Hughes and Dawkins who are first year scholars. Add the likes of Witham and Jones and Ball and ~that would give you most of the players currently looking like they could make the grade for Derby if they keep progressing.

Smyth_18 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Good times ahead then. If we throw them in at 18, 19 and 20 then god knows how good they will be when they're 25! We'll either be quite rich or have a very good team of home grown players on our hands. Win, win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Makes me laugh how an under 18's thread has involved Colin Todd, Keith Osgood and Rio Ferdinand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Who is number 10? Shockingly blond haired guy? I think he was pretty decent. Not great but good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Sounds like Hughes, attacking midfielder and 1st year scholar. By the way its worth mentioning the Blades youth team are coached by Pemberton [formerly a key figure at Forest Academy.]. Last season he lead them to the FA youth cup final. The home leg in Sheffield they were backec by over 28,000. So they would have not been intimidated by playing in front of the 1000 odd who turned up at Pride Park on saturday. I think the experience was a bit much for some of the Derby lads, including Ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I doubt it for Ball, he's played in front of some good crowds at reserve level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyside Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 the back pass didn't always get Toddy out of trouble. I remember one particularly muddy occasion at the BG when his back pass got stuck and Sniffer Clarke nipped in to score for the Dirty boys. That's the only one I can remember though. Out of all our greats I think Colin Todd would have adapted to the modern game as well as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
