The energy and enthusiasm that Borges came onto the pitch with should be inspiring to any of our academy players. He looked great.

Let's have a reality check with Cox. You can't expect miracles of an 18 year old playing against Derby County.
Thank God we have 17 year old Pedro to look forward to watching - until ChelDollar or similar nick him for nothing !

no need to take that tone..Of course I watched the game - on i-follow I obviously missed it didn't I - .. Maybe the rest of the Derby players missed it too cos it didn't make any f*kn difference to their time wasting..

Sorry I should have asked were you at the game.
Ref to blame for that. The way their goalie went down towards the end. he should have been booked

All season long I think we have averaged at least 5 x Grecian academy players in the starting line up and today we finished with 6 including a 17 year old.
I know it's always nice to win but knowing that "Our Own" have grown up with us and some gone to better places is something that is in our Grecian DNA & hopefully continues.
I for one take great pleasure in following Grecian academy players on their football journey £s to replace them when there might not be a xGrecian academy player ready to replace them.
UTC & please join me in a celebration that "We are Staying Up" with our academy providing nearly half of the starting teams !

Who was it who stupidly pushed Wildsmith ? Sparkes ?

Brainless as it gave him the chance to go to ground.

Men against boys . I'm afraid Cox looks like another Ben Seymour, nowhere near good enough at this level
Give the boy a break. He was up against very good centre halves, better than he'll have ever played against before. He ran hard and had very little opportunity with the ball at his feet. I wouldn't be writing him off yet. I remember watching Watkins at a similar age in one of his first games and he reminded me of a giraffe. These days he's purring like a cheetah.

Who's the shittest centre forward we've had since Sam Parkin?
