I don't think it was picked up but Babalj played a full 90 for Jong Zwolle on Monday, scored and was involved with the second (possible and assist) in a 2-0 win. Wouldn't really see this as dropped as he came off the bench for the first team on Saturday and at full fitness you would think he could do a short stint with the firsts and a full youth game. Also the players who didn't get off the bench for the firsts all played a full game.

Such great news, Ikonomidis ripping up in Italy and being scouted by Arsenal and Man U, and Mitrovic playing for Tampines against the mighty Young Lions in the S-League.

It's a good time to be an Aussie football fan!

Foxsports talking about some Aussies playing abroad ... [size=6]all [/size]have been mentioned on these boards, but some lime light for these relative unknowns is always good for soccer and themselves.

The fact Fox Sports can miss a number of names, shows its a true credit to those of you who endlessly track the progress of our boys. Im sure this is one of the fav 442 threads of every member. cheers for your work.

After reading that fox sports article why does Aleksander Jovanovic never get a mention regarding 'Roos. He's only 25 and playing at the same level as Wilkinson?

Has he officially declared for Greece?

Soccerway might want a bit of cred.

Leckie and Halloran the only two standouts.

Pretty shite night by the sounds

Both halloran and leckie sat on the bench for the whole match. Unusual for leckie.

Kenny Dougall fresh from releasing his greatest '80s hits, played 90mins.

Josip Konyit with a full game in Croatia.

Full 90 for Ryan Williams in a 3-1 loss away to Man City in the U21's, no Taggart.

Edwards got a full game too for Reading U21's, Tanner came on after 70 minutes for Blackburn who lost 2-1 to them.

whats the go with taggart injured again? Or will he ben in the first team squad maybe ?

Well Fulham got thrashed 5-1 by Bournemouth overnight but no sign of Taggart in the 11 or on the bench.
