On reflection i would revise it up to 6.5? I don't really wish to debate negatives on a really posative day for the club. His defending from the front is where he lost a point from my overall rating. Definatily deserves to keep his place and hopefully build on his partnership play with Godden.

Marosi 7 - looked much better and needs to keep the shirt for this season. Eccles 7 - did far better than expected and looked like he should keep hold of the shirt. McCallum 7 - soild game. Ostigard 7 - scored at last and unlucky not to connect better with another header. Will only improve...

Marosi De Costa Fadz Hyam Mcallum Kelly hammer James Ohare Gorks Godden

Agree, but I think it also shows how far Kasta is off the pace.

If I could sack Southgate and Steven Gerrard took over we would have a better chance of winning the Euros. Southgate is in essence a failed club manager and average TV pundit.

Sorry are you saying any image is distasteful? As I said before not seen 'it'. Details, matter.

Blonde organic beer

I am yet to see the cartoon and if its really distasteful he has made a serious error of judgement and perhaps should loose his job. However, if its not that bad I am really worried about the implications of your last statement.

Hindsight is always 20/20! I felt that JCH was sold as much for his attitude as his ability. Maybe moving to a new City has made him become more professional and the results are showing on the pitch?

Frostie, I don't doubt that the club have been given some praise. I guess very important details like what has been said and by whom, matters and based on your post is unknown. Given you have invoked a "the people in the know think he is great vs silly me from the stands knows nothing" type...

I was not initially being critical of Balden but I definatily do feel there is a bit of undeserved hype from some around his scouting abilities. So every one can assess his player spotting talents I have found this on soccerbase to a lot of our signings since Balden became head of recruitment in...

Who do you think had a look at him then if it wasn't our scouts covering Europe? I agree Vivash and his connections to Chelsea no doubt gave us the initial insight.

Agree 100%. perhaps not YouTube but there are plenty of data driven platforms that are exponentially growing due to this approach to signings facilitated by technological advancements.

Your right but wrong as this topic is about scouting. He was registered to Chelsea but he hadn't kicked a ball professionally in England for 2 seasons when he joined us. We signed him based on his form in European leagues. Or maybe your right and we signed him based on his off season kick abouts...

Your entitled to that view but you realise some of the biggest managers in the game have admitted signing players based of video highlights. There are also platforms like Wyscout that cater for the money ball approach to scouting. As I said in another thread I know from a family contact clubs...

If you can provide proof that suggests you know better and 'We don't operate like that' I would be happy to stand corrected. A family member I have is very close to an agent who regularly deals with Newcastle United transfers and says it's common practice for clubs to take a punt on players...

He was recruited from the continent. The same as Jobello 'ffs'

I guess there is no news on the match packages for this season? Maybe due to restricted numbers? I normally buy a 12 match package as I can't make all ever g games. However if there not doing them I might just buy a ST

I have a suspicion Balden likes to review highlights videos and we don't do full comprehensive due diligence. Baka - saw his highlights reel on a scouting website. It really made him out to be a rough diamond with all the characteristics to be a top player. In reality he displays those every...

I see Kastaneer was subbed on 45 mins for Hearts who lost to Highland league minnows tonight!!
