Eiran Cashin D Brighton b.2001

[CraftyToePoke]

Eiran Cashin is on the Derby bench today, a defender coming back from a long injury it seems. Played underage for us, but is English born.

[Demesne Lad]

Injured for much of the 2020/21 season, Derby Co. defender Eiran Cashin makes his debut for the Rams today v Peterborough.

[JR89]

Makes his first start in the league today on his fifth league appearance for Derby.

[tommy_c12000]

Did well by all accounts. 3 young irish starters for derby, a late 1-0 win to edge closer to safety. Must be a great atmosphere for these young lads at the moment.

[liamoo11]

He has a great video on his twitter 2 years ago during the first lock down of him training/ messing around in his front garden in his ireland jersey

[MancIrishWolf]

Cashin MOTM for Derby by all accounts. Sounds solid and positionally strong defensively, but with a nice passing range - which is a definitely a more modern attribute to our Centre Backs.

Think we can now field a team of Centre Half’s with Collins, O’Shea, Omobamidele, McGuinness, Dunne and now Cashin coming through.

Noticed that Ebolese played right wing. Could be a good option with his pace.

Thanks for finding it.

Sliding through the fence is quality. In fairness his back garden training for the last 2 years seems to have worked well he has bulked considerably!

The exchange with Rory Delap in the replies is pretty good:

RD: "Class Cash!! Bet your old mans happy about the fence?!?💥🙈"

EC: "He weren’t too pleased so tackled him as well😂👍🏼"

[tetsujin1979]

I think Delap was coaching at Derby at one point, might explain how they know each other?

[JR89]

Think he did plus his young lad came through the Derby underage before moving to City.

You have to admire the effort he put into the video where he switches the knee support from his left knee at the beginning over to the right knee at the end.

I think this video is way better than the one he did in his England kit

[SkStu]

What height do folks think he is? He looks short to me - hit it could just be his general stocky appearance. A Google search says 1.8m (5’ 11”), 1.84 and 1.87 (6’ 1.5”) with most of the search returns suggesting the 1.87. He does not look like a 6 footer to me. I’d say the 5’ 10”/11” range is probably more accurate. Thoughts? Does that make him too short to make it as a cb at the highest levels? (no pun intended!)

[Trequartista20]

Looks about 5'11/6ft-ish to me.

Whether that will have a detrimental impact on on his career, I'm not too sure. Carragher was a similar height. Cannavaro and Baresi were both about 5'9, weren't they? And they didn't do too badly.

I think his lack of inches matters less in the context of a back three, which is how we play.

Interestingly he's left-footer, which is useful in terms of balance both in and out of possession. Generally a left-footed centre-back is going to be a lot more comfortable when dragged into a leftback area than a right footer.

[Bielsa´s irish]

He looks like Aaron Connolly. the face the heavy eyebrows , skin, nose, cheeks !!!! Before he went full Marilyn Monroe!!!

This was one of the things that Crawford mentioned in the podcast about how Cashin is a left sided CB and something which we lack. Of the lads that have been in the senior squad only Ciaran Clark stands out with everyone else being right footed. From the others Sean McLoughlin is the only one I can think of that's a left footed CB.

[tetsujin1979]

I think Egan is left footed

[ColourfulPeanut]

Egan is right footed.

We're a bit short and left-footed defenders in general at the moment really.

Can we not get left footed centre backs from the North ?

Cashin wins Derby Co. Young Player of the Season award.

[Demesne Lad]

Cashin the subject of interest by Championship clubs, including Norwich, according to Darren Witcoop (The Mirror).

[pateen]

Quite a jump

[SkStu]

I’m really surprised at that, if true. He’s never really impressed me anytime I’ve watched him. Short for a CB, stocky and a bit of a poor touch. But he’s been rated highly across the water for a while so what the f do I know.

I agree with you Stu, he did break into the Derby team very young and there does seem to be an old fashioned toughness about him, but I have always thought that he was too small and not quick enough to make up for it. I would trust Brightons scouts more than my opinion though!

[Eirambler]

Any half decent young centre back will command attention these days, there's a general shortage of good ones out there.

Not in terms of Irish ones obviously, we're producing them at the rate the Georgians produce prop forwards because the game continues to be coached slightly differently here, but there's an overall shortage on a wider scale.

[John83]

Any of them that can pass reliably under pressure are considered interesting, even if there are defensive frailties. Is he good on the ball?

I didnt think he was good on the ball when I seen him, but I've probably seen him less that a half dozen times

[Eirambler]

I think he's decent on the ball. Not the tallest and not the quickest would be his main limitations. Being left footed will help him also.

[seanfhear]

Ah, a left footer.

[CraftyToePoke]

Ah, a left footer.

We'll see what foot he kicks with internationally if he gets this move & England start winking at him Seanie, one Irish born grandparent & his call up held up by a family holiday delaying the paperwork, hmmmm. They might only have to wink once for him to twinkle toe it across the floor ha.

He must be a long shot for England but left footer's have that extra chance.

[Eirambler]

He's overage for Under 21 football so that's almost certainly the end of any interest from England I'd say.

[JR89]

Brighton missed out on signing Cashin. His contract expires in 12 months.

[Jolly Red Giant]

With the rumours about Omobamidele going to Forest and Cashin replacing him at Norwich - he may have been caught between two stools and time ran out.

[JR89]

Seems the only ones linking him to Norwich were fans on twitter. They signed Danny Batth from Sunderland.

[Demesne Lad]

Brighton were prepared to pay a fee of around £4m for Cashin but ran out of time to get the deal over the line before the window shut at 11pm....."He didn't travel with the (Derby) team because if he had to do a medical it didn't make any logical sense. In the end when it failed, and it failed for different reasons above my (Warne's) paygrade, he drove over to the hotel and got here at 2am.......He's a good kid, he wanted to play. He's not sulking and he appreciates the fact both clubs were fighting for themselves."

Brighton have been monitoring Cashin for a while and are expected to bid again in January.

[JR89]

Surprised at Brighton not getting it done on time though as they've been chasing him all summer.

[tetsujin1979]

Liked with West Ham, Burnley, and Sheffield United this morning

[pineapple stu]

Scores one and assists another as Derby come from 2-1 down to lead Oxford 3-2 late on. Would be their ninth win in 11 games if they hold on, so may be going up a division next year even if the transfer speculation doesn't come off. Seems to have been playing really well this season, though obviously Championship would be a step up, as would most international stuff.

[Demesne Lad]

Derby County have activated a clause in Cashin's contract to keep him at the club until mid-2025 and consider him as not for sale. One could say they won't cash in on his estimated market value. (Sorry :-) ) With his former manager Wayne Rooney no longer at Birmingham, that's one potential destination gone.

[Demesne Lad]

Cashin reflects on 'the move that got away' at the end of the recent transfer window. Will Brighton come knocking again in July?

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-county-eiran-cashin-interview-9146432

[JR89]

Didn't know he signed a new three year contract last month. Hopefully he got a release clause added into the contract.

[pineapple stu]

Makes the League One team of the season, alongside Portsmouth's Conor Shaughnessy.

Seems one thing we're definitely not short of is promising centre-backs anyway. Both look like being Championship players next season.

[seanfhear]

Centre-backs-r-us.

If international teams could loan Centre-backs ? !

[JR89]

Went off injured 20mins into today's game with a possible head injury. Was down for a bit getting treatment but was able to walk off the pitch.

[Drummerboy2]

I saw him against Blackburn and he looked like he has bulked up. Hel seemed a bit sluggish to be honest. He has impressed me previously.
