Spot on 👍🏻 As mentioned previously it's how all top clubs operate. We have Badlan, Benthom & (I believe 5) full time scouts working under them. We use a combination of Technical Scouting & Traditional Scouting. Every single player is thoroughly scouted (over years usually), will be watched in...

You have no idea how scouting & recruitment work, that's pretty clear.

He's been awful & barely fit.

I think that's it. If you think most youngsters would give their right arm to be a professional footballer it really irritates me when a player has such ability but not the right attitude & will end up wasting a promising career. Happens too often.

In fairness, Dabo was on Badlan's radar for years too & did go through the same recruitment process. Obviously having Viveash here helped us secure him though. Badlan: “Chelsea have been a massive help to us and Adi is probably a huge part, in Dabo’s opinion, in him choosing Coventry. But from...

We don't operate like that at all. It's a lazy assumption based on 1 or 2 that have struggled. We don't have the budget to waste on 'punts' so every signing is thoroughly analysed. We scouted & watched Hilßner extensively for over a year for example. There's a myriad of reasons why transfers...

For me, at least he's going out there & giving it his best, unlike Kastaneer for example. He had been doing very well at Oldham but as @Ccfcisparks said, the change of manager has seen him played in a myriad of different roles. He even played at wing-back in one recently! I think given the...

Hilßner played 70mins as an Attacking Midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 in a 2-1 win for Oldham. Pretty poor performance & struggled physically though by all accounts.

He's on £40k p/w at Newcastle. If they come down they might want to keep him, if not he'll have much richer suitors than us.

Good to see Kasta winning over the Hearts fans... 😬

Can't agree with that. Østigård has been good of late but over the season McFadzean has been by far our most reliable & consistent centre back.

Fantastic game, thoroughly recommend it. I bought it about a year ago, after they'd ironed out all the bugs etc. & it's one of my best gaming experiences in recent years.

Gillingham wasn't the best fit for him, needs to be playing in a proper, footballing side I think. I believe the plan was to loan him out again but perhaps with the concerns over Kelly's fitness at the time it was thought wiser to keep him here. Might feature in the squad now that Kelly is...

Then they should be the ones relegated 😝 I don't know how you do it tbh, I love seeing other fan's opinions etc but most of the forums look like they were created in MS DOS 🤮

Because they've got the second coming of Roberto Carlos at wing-back apparently (even though he plays even less there than he did here).

Some sources provide 'Error Leading to Goal' & 'Error Leading to Chance' stats but due to the usually subjective nature (hence the responses in this thread) they are ridiculously forgiving to the point of being practically worthless if I'm honest. It has to be a clear, obvious error solely...

I understand & appreciate that you've gone to a fair bit of effort (torture) sitting through them all again! My point is just that it's too simplistic & not applied with consistency. Almost every goal scored in football is attributable to an error of sorts by someone or usually multiple people...

I know, it's ridiculous 🤦🏼‍♂️ The highlight cuts it off but yes Sheaf did give the ball away but it was just inside our half & he was trying to play into the feet of Biamou who was on a different wavelength & just stood there, allowing the Reading player to nick it. They still had to play a...

Probably all by the same person? Easier to list who he hasn't slated although changes as often as the weather.
