Posters on the Derby County forum saying it was a bad challenge with excessive force. Did nobody on here see which Albion player made the challenge? :shrug:

Marc Leonard made the challenge.

Packham has been caught out of position a few times. Molumby obviously looks well above this level and Moran has looked tenacious and good in tight areas. Derby with the better of things overall so far though. Similar to the first team with a lot of neat passing to the edge of the opposition box, and then turning around and heading backwards again.

Anyone got the YouTube link for the stream or is it only on AlbionTV?

Much stronger end to the half.

Cam Peupion gets in one on one with the keeper, saved.

Peupion then wins a penalty. Taken by Tolaj, telegraphed a little bit but a good save by the keeper.

They've managed to get in behind Derby a few times now. Encouraging to see Tolaj putting himself about and looking up to speed after missing the entire of last season.

He made two substitute appearances for the U-23s at the end of last season.

Assuming Leonard is number 10...looks like he has enough about him to be playing out on loan somewhere in the leagues this season.

Derby keeper keeping this a contest. Our one touch stuff is quite easy on the eye, if we get a goal, we'll get a couple more after.

Derby player obviously in a lot of pain. I didn't see what happened - tackle? Foot caught in turf?

It was a good strong challenge by Marc Leonard, unfortunate for the Derby lad but not foul play, he just went in fair and strong, no free kick given either so the ref obviously saw it that way too.

Harrison Foulkes. He is making his debut for Derby. Born in Eastbourne and attended Seaford Head School (previously in the academy at West Ham and then with AFC Wimbledon before doing his scholarship with Hull City).

Would not be shocked to see him in the Caribbean Cup if he stays.

Even though he looks good enough to play in say League One, its important to have a bit of quality in the U23s as well. Important to stay up so that the youngsters will play best possible opposition every week.

It's interesting that Evan Ferguson is getting the U23s chance ahead of Zak Emmerson, who is a couple of months older but can't stop scoring at U18 level and already has played in the Football League for Oldham.

Nice problem to have I suppose.
