Yes the defending has been questionable at times but overall there have been more positives than negatives this season from his team.
I imagine drinking is a prerequisite of this u23 job
Forson makes it Four!
2-4 Forson. Shoretire picks out Forson and he hammers it between the legs of the goalie. Well deserved. Brilliant first half from Forson
Forson is taking his debut well!
These lads love the goals
Forson is a talented lad. Didn't someone say he's leaving at the end of the season?
Gutting if true.
Gutting if true.
He almost said it - I just spelled it differently
Agreed - really fun game. Defensively both teams were a nightmare, but we were superb going forward. Shoretire, Elanga, Hannibal and Forson completely took Derby apart
He signed a deal at start of season where you hear he's leaving?
I have heard the rumour but I thought he signed a professional contract last season ? And if he was leaving - I doubt he would play
I thought I saw earlier this season someone on the caf' saying he was going.
I might be misremembering.
There are a lot of them who are leaving so you might not be wrong just havent heard his name meself
Wonderfully entertaining (as usual with the U23's and U18's).
I love watching this group attack with Hannibal, Shola, Elanga, sometimes Amad. And Forson has fit right in with them. Great debut for the U23's.
It's so frustrating watching the defenders try to pass their way out of trouble when they just don't have the technique for it and they gift so many opportunities that way. But when we're attacking, it's a joy to watch.

Both Derby goals a result of bad defending and incredible finishes
Forson isn’t old enough to sign a pro deal.
Scholarship deal or whatever it is. Will need one of the scholar experts to explain but its why he's able to play for us over anyone else.
Fish off for Fernandez
Dirty Derby Dollopers
Manager at half time only answer is "hack them down"
It’s difficult to make out but is it Shoretire and Hannibal as CF’s with Elanga and Forson out wide?
Hannibal is false 9 but coming really deep
So is Shoretire playing as a no 10?
The referee appears to be on ketamine.
How was that not a penalty ?
I believe so but may be switching with Hannibal as Hannibal is all over the pitch
Elanga is outrageous. What a goal. And they nearly get right back in
We play some absolutely gorgeous football at every level.
Shola in on the action
A right good pumping. So many results this year we scored 6. Maybe we can beat that today. Good to see Iqbal get a shot today
United are having too easy a time getting into the final third. The quality on show from Elanga, Shoretire, and co. has been a joy to watch.
This team is 2nd in goals scored and goals conceded in the league.
If Elanga isn't seen as first team ready then he needs out on loan at a pretty high level. He has stepped up beyond belief this year
Shoretire, Elanga, Hannibal and Forson just make football look incredibly easy. Hannibal in particular just feels like a potential superstar in the making, he plays the game at his own pace which I always feel is the mark of a great midfielder, it's a quality I think he shares with Hansen and Garner. We're often accused of being blinkered about how good our youth players are, but it's hard not to get excited considering the performance levels we've seen this season.
Our defending all season has been hilarious, not sure what the cause of it is but we've had a lot of brainfarts this year.
Was the young lads influenced by the Roma match on Thursday? 2-1 down to win 6-2 again.
