Dahlberg is finished. Luckily we've signed Okoye. He can come in and take Dahlberg's place as the promising young international keeper who turns out to be horrific and has his career go down the sh!tter at Watford.
I think they were essentially Allsvenskan select XIs, but they do count as full caps. An absolute puzzler why we'd send him there, Donny may have been bottom and been pretty turgid all season, but Gillingham if anything are in a worse state and are only off the bottom on goal difference at the moment, thanks to a relatively bright start

Think it was a pretty poor performance all round from Forest tbh. I guess he might only play well when they do ?
He's a flat track bully. When Forest next play bottom of the league at home and go 2-0 up in 20 minutes, he'll run the show. Probably grab himself a goal and a couple of assists, which will look good on his stats, and distract from the fact that he's an average Championship player.

Dahlberg + Phillips are now struggling for game-time now Neil Harris has taken over at Gillingham (not sure why Phillips has fallen out the team - he was doing really well). Peñaranda was an unused sub for Las Palmas. The Irish season starts up in the next few weeks so should be able to get footage of both Cassidy + JJ McKiernan who are both on loan at Bohemians. Austrian 2nd division also resumes next week after their winter break so hopefully we'll get to see some more of Toure. Also imagine Asprilla will make the squad for Envigados game this weekend. Going to be in Denmark for all of next week so probably won't be able to do this weekends games but we'll see how good the internet connection is!
Still don't have the full game for some reason but this was Hutchinsons goal at the weekend - what a ridiculously good finish - https://twitter.com/YourInstReplay/status/1491684539101499395

Still not tagged on WyScout but our academy twitter account has posted up the goal (in terrible quality, hope the rest of his games aren't in that quality!) https://twitter.com/WatfordFCAcad/status/1496047108813697025

Asprilla not in the matchday squad for the 2nd game in a row (presumably injured) along with Hutchinson + Chikukwa. Mebude, Lo-Everton + Peneranda came off the bench but was not enough to bother with clips. Dahlberg, Cassidy and McKiernan were all unused subs.
Hungbo getting rave reviews in Scotland - maybe it's the quality of the opposition but certainly seem to be building a good partnership with Reece-Cook whoever he is.
Had no buy in at Spezia (although haven't even had the chance to try and win buy-in), still never met the manager or any of his coaching staff despite my constant hassling, utterly baffling - especially since they're near the bottom of the league for basically every set-piece metric. Things are going really well set-piece wise in Denmark, rank 4th (out of 12) for set-piece xG, top of the league for xG per corner taken, top of the league for xG from indirect FKs - only downside is we're bottom of the league! Casa Pia are also 4th in the league (out of 18) for set-piece xG and 4th in the league for xG per corner - we're top of the league and flying and are looking good for promotion - we've only conceded 12 goals in 24 games: 1 penalty, 7 from set-pieces and 4 from open play which is an insane stat. So all in all, a bit of a mixed season!
Did we recall Dahlberg from a loan where he was starting to move him to another team where he sits on the bench?
No, we recalled him from a loan where he had been benched for some time to move him to another team who have also decided he won't make the grade. Doesn't bode well for him.
It looked as if he was gonna start, but he conceded 7 in the week before they hired a new manager which is never gonna be a good look.
No idea what the level Asprilla is playing at but he looks very competent technically. He will need work defensively as he often gets the wrong side of his man when pressing.

Conteh played 83 mins against Chippenham but that hasn't been uploaded yet, will check again on Wednesday when I do the Asprilla game (if he plays!)
Disapppointing that Lo-Everton isn't getting much game time at that level. D-B seems to have gone off the boil after a promising start at Reading.
Yup - same here, he really hasn't settled at Yeovil, mostly down to being used absolutely everywhere. At Wealdstone last year when he looked really promising and lively he was always played either in central midfield or central attacking midfield, as you can see from the picture below - this season he hasn't settled into one position. He's been used on the wing a lot, as well as up front a fair chunk (and as a 5"7 striker in the National League you're gonna get killed unless you are absolutely exceptional). I haven't watched much of his clips this season but I'd be willing to bet his best performances where when he was played centrally in the middle of the park.
Assuming he does have the potential it seems like a bit of a wasted season. Need to be more careful about where we place these youngsters and our ability to bring them back if they aren't getting useful experience.

Great goal after 8.00 of highlights ....but only after watching 8 minutes of him giving the ball away or shooting 10 yards over the bar. Very few instances of his possession leading to his team retaining the ball at the end of the clip. Just how I remembered him.
I do like Quina, think he has wonderful balance. Not a CM by any stretch. He's been given a lot of space there out wide, I think he'll be a decent LW off the bench next season.
He's going to finish his career with a highlights reel that is completely at odds with his actual career path.

Dele-Bashiru, Pollock, McKiernan were unused subs. No game for Hungbo or Asprilla over the weekend. Peneranda came off the bench for the last 15 mins but that's not worth the download. Phillips still suspended.
