I watch a lot of non-league football from step 4-6. Amersham Town (step 5) will probably be promoted to step 4. They have a young centre-forward, Jake Tabor who has scored 49 goals this season and hit 50 plus last season. There is a bit of the “Jamie Vardy” about him and it’s likely he will move to a L2 side next season. I can’t believe R’s haven’t even bothered to check him out.
I think a lot of scouts turn their noses up and can’t be bothered to venture out to see some of these lads - many of whom have been playing a reasonable level since they left their respective academy’s.
I’ve watched half-dozen young lads this season who were quicker, stronger and better than Madsen. You see the odd scout but as I understand it they do not believe there is any value in players at step 4-6 otherwise those players will have been through an academy. Short-sighted and foolish to say the least.
I understand Tabor is Swindon bound. |

All workplace environments operate differently be it corporate, civil service and sporting companies.
With football clubs (in my experience) it ultimately comes down to the owners who eventually call the shots, even though they have a CEO in situ. In all this bluster about Marti, it’s worth remembering the owners are still ploughing in some £2M a month to keep the club solvent.
Given some of the sources being touted on some messages, I doubt it would take long for the club to work out who’s gobbing off and whether they are right or wrong.
If the sources are close to Marti and it’s confirmed, I would walk him out the door today. I doubt he is that stupid and naive - he knows what he wants in his career.
It’s ok at the top level in organisations to disagree - in fact it’s healthy. I suspect like many of us (I’ve been watching for over 55yrs) it’s become difficult to raise any enthusiasm, given the club stays afloat in Championship no-man’s land season after season.
Perhaps Marti is articulating what we all think, but ultimately he and the CEO have to fix it and work together, otherwise the owners will pull the trigger and we’re on the merry -go-round again. |

2-0 at Stamford Bridge - Milk Cup SF. That Michael Robinson goal. Mentioned on here the 3-0 at Spurs and the 3-0 at Chelsea under Sexton. Bowles and Francis unplayable at Spurs and Phil Parkes stopped everything thrown at him vs Chelsea.
Who can forget the 2-0 v Arsenal in the FA Cup - sublime. |

There is no way the club will “break the bank” to keep him. It’s how we now operate and you’d have to say with Willock and Armstrong the club got it right. I assume Cook and Colback had hefty wage increases this season so the pot can’t be that high.
I’d love him to stay but at 27 he has to do the right thing financially for him and his family. He will have plenty of takers. |

Thread | Kieran Morgan - Looks So Comfortable.
at 20:35 1 Jan 2025
He looks very comfortable in the Championship-what a find. Released by Spurs and has taken his chance. He’s obviously a very comfortable player with the ball but his work rate is outstanding. There is probably a conveyor belt of players like him at PL clubs who are too comfortable.
This lad has applied himself brilliantly and Marti must see something in him to throw him in. He’s just going to get better in my view. |

What a great result. Reminded me of our game vs Huddersfield at ours this time last season. We nicked a draw and our season really improved. Yes, Norwich has lots of possession and we defended really well. It’s a great point away from home given who we have fit and available. |

You just know we are going to fck this one up! He must have quite a few clubs getting interested and he cannot be far away from a ROI full call up. |

Has it crossed your mind that Marti asked him to sit deep and just break it up? You could see City liked to knock it about and Field was instrumental in spoiling that.
We were set up not to lose and we achieved that.
Well dome Marti and the squad. |

I was sitting in the lower ER and his awareness and physicality is off the scale. We could hear him bollocking Nardi for not coming off his line quick enough. Then shortly after when Nardi caught the ball from a corner under pressure Cook told him how god he is. Real leadership. |

Dreadful first 45 mins from both sides. Marti obviously had words and we just raised our game slightly and deserved the 3pts.
I can’t remember watching such a dreadful side as Oxford. How on earth did they make their way into the Championship. The most clueless bunch of professional footballers I’ve seen. Literally spent 97 mins passing the ball across their box.
I’d love to watch one their training sessions! What an embarrassment. |

The most damming one is he has not scored a goal.
Goal scorers will always have a poor run at some point, but even the average ones will work their bollocks off to get that knock-in with their shin to get them going again.
His overall demeanour is shocking. He is a mile off been a Championship player of any quality or description and you could see at 60mins Marti was done with him. |

He’s clearly not going to start Celar again after such an inept performance yesterday so that will be the showdown with Nourry. |

at 12:12 24 Nov 2024
I think he totalled 7 touches in the whole game including the penalty miss. Marti was right to sub him and he shouldn’t start while Lloyd is fit and willing to run about for the cause. Hopefully, Celar will get a loan back to Switzerland at Xmas - Marti is done with him as are the fans. |
