Hit 10k reads on my scouting Substack today! Never expected it but it’s a place for player reports, non-league grounds, EFL away days, terrible burgers, shit tannoys, cafe breakfasts and great people. Please tell others and share if you can. #scouting

Just posted my latest player profile on Substack, looking at Grimsby Town LB Reece Staunton. A gem plucked from Non-League, his set pieces have been a cheat code this season.

An excellent signing. For Oldham fans wanting to know more about their new man, check out this article I wrote on him back in October. #oafc

Just posted my latest player profile on Substack, looking at AFC Telford midfielder Remi Walker. If you need a break from the bank holiday sunshine then give it a read. His G/A numbers are worth your time. #WeAreTelford#NonLeague

In my latest article I’ve looked at the Continuity v Experience debate when recruiting a new manager in Non League.
Plus a few examples of who
I feel have done it right.

In my latest article, I discuss Exeter City’s unfortunate financial woes, and present some low cost Non-League recruitment options I feel would be worth risking in the EFL.

Welcome, Nino!
I’ve turned my art degree to good use and analysed some Non-League kits. Below are 5 of the finest kits newly available for the 2026-2027 season.

An excellent player, and he’ll certainly be in demand.
For those wanting to learn more about him, below is a link to a piece I wrote back in March. Detailing what a new club can expect from their potential new signing. #SuttonUnited#EFL#LewisSimper
https://t.co/VALBSzfqmM
Lewis Simper is officially a free agent.
Somebody is going to get themselves an absolute steal. Over 20 G/As for Sutton United this season.
HAS to be EFL-bound 🔜
#ForeverAmber🟡
Some interesting names leaving Sutton United on their retained and released list.
The most in demand will be midfielder Lewis Simper. Presumably leaving due EFL interest.
Below is a scouting piece I wrote on him back in March. #EFL#SuttonUnited

@CallumHallett6 Simper should be looked at by most League 2 clubs, certainly has the technical skill to provide creativity in the final third. Good set piece delivery. An aesthetically pleasing left foot. Posted excellent numbers as well considering Suttons struggles.
Completely agree regarding Morgan Roberts. Definitely has the tools to stay in the league. He was one of the 3 players I highlighted as part of my ‘too good to go down’ series. Focusing on the National League.

Not a great deal in the way of surprises w/ #WeAreBrackley’s retained list; a few steady options @ Step 2 level but nothing more than that.
- Morgan Roberts is a player who will likely have many offers @ NL level; I’d be surprised to see him stick around in the NLN. A potential Frankie Maguire replacement for Boston? 🤔
Amazing.
✅️Rebuilt the team from scratch.
✅️Attacking football.
✅️A young side.
Off the back of a relegation.
All that to the tune of 100 points and the title 🏆
Delighted for @MahonCraig - done a top job! 🫶
🚨 Rochdale and York City have released the following joint statement:
“This Saturday’s game brings an end to one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable title races in football history. Both ourselves and Rochdale have the chance to write our names in National League history.
The National League is no longer a non-league competition. It is effectively a League 3, with fully professional clubs operating at a level equal to or higher than many of those in League 2.
We both understand how important this game is to both clubs and supporters. We both pledge now that whatever happens tomorrow, we will both continue to fight for 3UP.
Both clubs sit on over 100 points. One of us will have to fight once more in the National League Play-Offs. However, we both strongly believe that this shouldn’t have to be the case.
We call on the National League, Football Regulator, EFL and Premier League to come together immediately and resolve this issue, so that we do not have to highlight this injustice year after year.
For both sets of supporters attending the Crown Oil Arena this weekend, we say thank you for being with us all season. The passion you’ve shown for both clubs has been felt across the world. This game will be seen far and wide. We want to showcase this league for all its potential. Keep your support in the stands, not on the pitch, and let’s all protect the game we love.
Thank you!
Rochdale AFC & York City FC”

First start in 3 months and nets a brace against a play-off rival. A top night for a Bolton’s Cozier-Duberry. Link below to my September scout article on the Brighton loanee. Expect him to be playing higher next season. #EFL#bwfc

This was obvious months ago.
@FIFC have just won the Isthmian Premier Division and are heading to the National League South. The signs were there in January, and it’s an interesting story.
I explained about the worthy winners in the link below. #fifc

Another excellent performance for this man this afternoon, his brace helped Sutton’s comeback and earned them another important point as we enter the final month of the season. #SuttonUnited#ForeverAmber
My latest player profile is up on Substack
I’ve been looking at Sutton midfielder Lewis Simper and how his technical ability, interesting tactical positioning, and eye for goal make him such an important player for the side.
