Che Adams playing for Alfreton , now in premier league ,
Bradley Ash playing for Welwyn Garden City, now at Weymouth !
Stephan Payne playing for Dover , now at Tranmere ?
Kayden Jackson paying for Guiseley , now at ?? Ipswich ?
Jacob Brown also playing at Guiseley , now at Stoke ,
Ben Williams played at Blackburn , now with us ,
And amazingly I went to a North West reserve game , with a local scout , he was to watch and monitor a certain player , after half an hour he said " I think there's someone better than who I'm suppose to be watching , I agreed , didn't know at the time who he was , after the match my mate went to have a chat with respective parties , it was Callum Styles , unbelievably a few months after my mate and many other trusted local scouts we're no longer required for some reason? To those that suck up to these present Owners/Incumbants have a rethink , it's OK if it's going their way , if it's not ?????????? They really don't give a tom t it about the fans or the Town,
The smart young lads in white shirts sat in front of screens at Oakwell watching video clips, looking at software statistics, drinking a latte coffee, know more abart football than people such as thee and other dinosaur scouts will ever know. Conway has said so, so it must be true. It's the modern way, the future.
