**HOOFED my first ever Notebook post**Nobby's Scouting Network - Bristol City

In this new exiting feature I will be scouting an opposing player following each home game. Over the years I have scouted several players that have gone on to become full Internationals. Players who we should have signed like Keiffer Moore, Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Wayne Rooney...👍

Game 1 Bristol City
Nobby's pick No. 36 Alex Scott
No player from Bristol City really stood out and other than a couple of runs from Weimann they didn't look much cop going forward.
However number 36 Alex Scott caught the eye and you might be surprised to learn that this lad is only just 17. He was clever on the ball with a nice touch and took up some good positions. One lovely cross into the box nearly resulted in a goal. Tired in the second half and eventually hooked on 75 mins but did enough to make the list every scout worth his salt should be reading...👍🔥

From Wiki
Scott signed for Isthmian League side Guernsey on turning 16 having previously trained with the youth teams of Southampton and AFC Bournemouth,[1] he made his debut for the Green Lions against Phoenix Sports on 31 August 2019 becoming the youngest ever Guernsey player.[2] Scott made 23 appearances for Guernsey his transfer in January 2020.[1]

In December 2019, Scott signed a pre-contract agreement with Championship side Bristol City.[3] Having initially linked up with the club's academy, Scott signed his first professional contract with Bristol City in March 2021.[4][5] Scott made his professional debut with Bristol City as a 71st minute substitute in a 3–2 Championship loss to Luton Town on 25 April 2021.[6]

Well that's a new definition of 'scouting' - looking him up on Wikipedia. I'd say that there could be a scouting job for you at Boro, but you'd need to prove that you could also use YouTube to check out a player's selected highlights.
The wiki stuff was for information purposes and I thought it was interesting that he made his debut for Guernsey at 16 the youngest ever....
I scouted him yesterday while watching him with my own eyes
Thanks 👍
 
Looking forward to this feature Nobby.

Good luck with it. Another great arrow for your bow.
 
@Nobby_Barnes, I have an art book you can borrow if you want to be able to draw a celery.

As for your new feature, it reminds me of Donkeywatch from fmttm, although I have a feeling it will be the exact same donkey making a regular appearance.
Thanks for your kind words although this is the opposite of donkey watch
Thanks 👍
