Injured for much of the 2020/21 season, Derby Co. defender Eiran Cashin makes his debut for the Rams today v Peterborough.
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.
Injured for much of the 2020/21 season, Derby Co. defender Eiran Cashin makes his debut for the Rams today v Peterborough.
Makes his first start in the league today on his fifth league appearance for Derby.
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.
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
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.

Think he did plus his young lad came through the Derby underage before moving to City.
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!)
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.
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.
I think Egan is left footed
Egan is right footed.
We're a bit short and left-footed defenders in general at the moment really.
