Scouts just don't look at players among other things they watch our opponents prior to a game and report back to the manager. Good ones can be invaluable.

How would you know if Rodger hasn't been a key figure in identifying some signings?

It's not like we announce a signing and then give details on each time we had a scout go and watch them. It might be that he leads the network of scouts we have dotted about anyway and doesn't physically do all the scouting himself.

Plus, as Herts says there's other aspects to scouting as well as watching individual players.

If it was up to me I'd invite bignott back as chief scout, couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery as a manager but could see a quality player as in bogle, osborne and, slightly controversial, bolerinwar....go on, I'm thick skinned, bring on the red ones!!!

Well the signings we have made was imputed by Wilkinson and Slade because they have worked some players before you Could tell that.

And Jolley has signed Fox and Whitmore who he knows.

Wild scouted Dyson from Everton.

Just because Whitmore was known to jolley there is no doubt he was being watched towards the end of the season as will other targets. The scouting team during the season will identify players be given players to Watch and also look at opposition and team shape. All managers sign players they've work with before but will still require updated reports.
