Fantastic to see Knight starting his 3rd game in a row for Derby, they really need a result vs reading. Molumby continues to start for Millwall, while O’Shea returns to the bench for west brom.
Dara O’Shea on to make his league debut, fantastic to see!
Knight was derby’s best player despite them losing 3-0. Let’s hope Cocu can stay in the job and turn things around.
U19 striker Conor Noss signed a new contract at Borussia Monchengladbach: https://www.borussia.de/de/aktuelles...82188e2c4b2f38

New deal at West Ham for Conor Coventry with a loan move on the horizon. League One referenced as being his most likely destination due to potential game time at that level.
Interesting to note the article specifically calls out interest from abroad. This probably doesn't come as a surprise as he has been very good for the our under 21s.
Nathan Collins gets a chance today for Stoke. There’s a big chance to establish himself there, as existing options have been unimpressive (Batth, Lindsay, C-V, Indi Martins) and Shawcross struggling to come back after injury. He needs game time now, he should push for a loan until end of season if he doesn’t break in by end of January. No dedicated thread for him as well, about time to create one
Watford have a few youngsters on the bench I wonder if Cassidy was close to been involved pr have things stalled a bit for him with injuries not many goals this season
What a day. Smallbone has scored.
The injury has been a disaster for Cassidy, he was easily the stand out youth player at Watford as recently as last season but has fallen back a bit. Needs a strong second half of the season for the Under 23s to get things back on track.
Knocked across this interview with Gavin Bazunu from a couple of days ago. He strikes me as a very intelligent young man, with some fascinating insights into developing as a footballer from both a technical and mental perspective. He has such an amount of time on his side too.

Dara O'Shea starts for WBA. En Neyah on the bench for Nottingham. Knight on the bench for Derby. Parrott on the bench for Spurs. Masterson starts for QPR with Shodipo on their bench.
https://www.hammers.news/club-news/west-ham-fans-react-to-conor-coventry-signing-new-contract/amp/ Interesting Celtic appear to be continuing their tactic of offering any young irish player available for free with a contract. Thankfully Conor had the wherewithal to reject it, no doubt inspired by observing the fate of our Celtic 3.
Just watched our under 21 centre half pairings streaming side by side. O’Shea played right back, very tidy on the ball. His versatility certainly a plus as he looks for game time going forward. Gave away a dangerous free kick at the end with a sloppy challenge but other than that did well. West Brom through with 1-0 win, hopefully O’Shea will play again in 4th round in a few weeks.
Masterson had a good first half, 2 clearances from corner kicks, in addition to a couple of other clearances. As always, his comfort on the ball and distribution was good. He had one excellent cross field ball in first half. He didn’t have a lot to do in second half, qpr ran out comfortable winners. Certainly didn’t do himself any harm. He looks a bit stronger than he did 6 months ago. You would think the current vogue of footballing centre halves would play into his favour. Just needs some luck and game time. Didn’t do anything dramatic enough to command a starting berth for qpr, but helped his chances of securing a good league one loan for 5 months. Wycombe is the rumour, although I would prefer him to aim for a mid tier league one team to guarantee playing time.
Would love it, but can’t see it. Moyes will want to secure another win to build momentum. I expect Rice to start, probably Sanchez alongside him. Wilshire continues to have a vague injury I think, and Noble didn’t train this week after getting stamped on last game, and is touch and go. So chance Coventry makes the bench, a nice reward for signing the contract. Minimal minutes if any, hope I’m wrong
