Just posting a quick telestration and some of my thinking when scouting CB's, one thing I'm always looking for is can they decrease or try to decrease the quality of chance for the opposition? In these clips Tom Atcheson already shows potential for this so early in his career.
Please find my basic graphic for One to Watch Jake Evans, an 18 year old forward currently on loan and doing well at Cheltenham Town in EFL League Two. Hopefully this image gives an insight, but you can find an in depth report with clips in this link.

Managed to watch a few games from Portugals Primeira recently, impressed with Tony Strata, in a very small sample size, the shape he gets on his deliveries is just great to watch.

🏴 Harry Whitwell (CM, ‘05) — West Brom
Although Harry Whitwell needs physical development, his overall cognitive ability has helped him adapt to the Championship's tempo/intensity, according to @joep724.

We are happy to tell you that we have managed to export all of our reports from our 'old' website to the new website.
This means that you can now read 1.698 reports on the Target Scouting website, which is something that we are very proud of.
Watching a few recent LOSC Lille games, still not sure how Haraldsson is still there, ,just links things together brilliantly. Similarly Alexsandro, injured most of last season, but a two footed, athletic, giant with only 2 years left on his contract. Both interesting options.

🏴 Mamadou Jobe - (CB, '03) - Cambridge United ➡️ Stockport County
Transfer analysis by @joep724:
Another clever signing by Stockport County, who now have 3 central defenders in Jobe, Gordon, and Pye, who have all had some development in English non-league in the last 3 or 4 seasons. Jobe moves to Stockport with excellent physical attributes: broad-shouldered, strong upper body strength, competitiveness in aerial duels, and a top speed and acceleration that’s capable of defending in a high line and recovering to a high standard.
Jobe moves to Stockport, who, like his now former club Cambridge United, have more often used a back 3/5 formation, and whilst capable of playing in a more traditional back 4, I think playing as the right-sided defender in a back 3/5 makes the most of his athleticism with underlapping/overlapping runs and ability to cover the channels. Whilst he currently may not be the most technical of defenders, he has shown some promise as a ball carrier, again pointing potentially towards a wider CB role.
What’s really interesting is that despite his current technical weaknesses, Pye and Gordon may mask these due to their technical on ball strengths. I could definitely see Jobe being the athletic defender that covers behind Stockport’s Ryan Glover on the right, allowing him to get further forward and be in positions he’s potentially more used to. But equally, I could see him as the central defender that sweeps up behind and allows Pye and Gordon to be the wider options, allowing them to push forward and get on the ball more.
Regardless of what role he plays, Jobe’s athleticism brings versatility, and I look forward to seeing how he develops both on the ball and in his timing/reactions to more aggressive or proactive defending during his hopefully successful time with Stockport County FC.
Mamadou Jobe (CB, '03, 🏴) is a physically gifted central defender who is raw technically. According to @joep724, he could play promotion-chasing football in League One or for a bottom-half Championship club in the future.

Callum Doyle very good again tonight, really can't see him being in the Championship longer than this season, if that long!
A few weeks in the making after a pretty intense month, but glad to get out this in depth scout report with clips on Louis Page, one who's I'm not surprised has been tipped for a move to some of the top teams. Find my report below!

For those looking for more information please find my in depth scout report with clips on Sam Gale from June 2025 below. He's one I'll watch out for over the next few seasons, and truly believe he can kick on and reach an even higher standard. medium.com/@JPscouting/one-t…
Can't underestimate the acceleration by Mbappe for the 2nd goal there, drags the widest defender inside, pushes the line back, makes the space for the shot, excellent.
Slight change of location for this scout report on SC Paderborn's 22 year old ST, Stefano Marino! Another striker from 2.Bundesliga that's showed potential in his ability to attack space and get into strong goal scoring positions. Linked here:

Rangers have hopefully got a good one in Dan Neil, who should adapt well to the Scottish Premiership, find in the link below, the first scout report I posted. Good to look back and see how things have improved in my reports compared to now.
