Jahmal Hector-Ingram...

... training with the first team.

I had expected he'd be doing that next season but, it seems he has joined them already. Exciting player IMO.

Yes looks either Martin or Marriott will be off. I can't make my mind up about JHI I've seen quite a bit of him ,sure he scores for U23 not to convinced in him Whittaker scored plenty as well but not done to much yet Which has surprised me a bit because I really rate him. As for JHI he's 21now and had the guts to walk out of West Ham so must have confidence in his own ability ,both young wouldn't be surprised if Whittaker goes on loan somewhere

Likely Marriott if you're right as Martin gives us a different option as he's a target man and the only one we have.

We have enough kids coming through though, don't we?

Bogle, Lowe, Bird, Buchanan, Knight, Sibley, Mitchell-Lawson, Hector-Ingram, Whittaker, Ravas and a couple of others on the upward trend.

They won't all make the grade, some may have to move on to make it as you can't have 10 kids in a senior side, you need some experienced heads in there as well.

Might this turn out to be Derby's answer to ManU's "class of 92"? The would be massive if it was.

I hope so! Even in a smaller way. We're lacking any buzz this season (or whatever season it was), a few nice surprises would pick things up.

Bird, Knight and Sibley have surely provided a buzz. So has the arrival of Rooney. I would also add the revival of Lawro who spent most of the season playing 1 great game followed by 9 less than average ones but, prior to the lockdown, played several successive games at the level he should be at for 80% of a season.
