RP rates him 3.0+, the definitely most trustworthy Torfabrik (which always re-watches before rating) surprisingly also with just 3.0 (for me Scally - like some other players - got rated a tad too bad) 2.5 easily for me, ah what am I saying: make it 2.0 because of this scene here (~ 8:30) where Joe is dominating the weasely Grimaldo and could have scored: maybe, just maybe they all rated Joe 'conservatively' exactly because he didn't score? Jansen, a former Gladbach-fullback once said: "If the fullback performs 'normal' he gets a 3. But if he pulls off just one single crossball and the striker happens to have a good day and scores, the fullback gets a two. And if you submit the same good crossball five times and the striker screws up five times you will get a 3 again. Because it wasn't an assist!"
yes (without the 'r'), 'RHENISH POST' so to speak, based in Düsseldorf where Scally & Reyna live Fortuna of 2. Bundesliga, Gladbach and Leverkusen is their turf; more or less established as the 'court' reporters of Borussia (next is AZ/Aachener Zeitung but no ratings there) of the Gladbach-specialized websites there is GLADBACHLIVE with ratings, the much better SEITENWAHL has no ratings nationwide rival of KICKER is SPORTBILD with all ratings behind paywall as far as I know but they have a ranked list with season's average rating: https://sport.bild.de/fussball/bundesliga/statistik-bildnote/ similar to this is LigaInsider's performance index: https://www.ligainsider.de/bundesliga/noten/ there are more but I'm not deeply into ratings myself... just esteeming the explanatory notes of the TORFABRIK ratings
2 assists in the comeback for the ages (that fell short): USMNT Otaku on X: "Down 6-0, then scored 4 unanswered goals out of nowhere. Joe Scally assisted 2 of Gladbach’s 4 goals. ️️ https://t.co/7P5ym0xxE3" / X

Two very nice crosses for those assists. Maybe the USMNT career Gio is going to resurrect at BM isn’t his own, but Scally’s by inspiring him to higher offensive efforts.
At the very least, hopefully the "Scally is a complete zero going forward" narrative will come to an end.
i think its pochettino going to 3 in the back with attacking wingbacks. scally got the memo, apparently
well, that didn't exactly go according to plan (I wouldn't overrate the 'comeback'-goals, Frankfurt is playing Atletico's 'softies' in CL on tuesday) Scally's view: Scally was piiiiissed in that postgame interview pic.twitter.com/SWsugC2D5O— Kelly Broderick (@KelBroderick) September 27, 2025 oh yall that wasn’t even all of it lol pic.twitter.com/3rb770cN6n— Kelly Broderick (@KelBroderick) September 27, 2025
Angry Scally is the best Scally. I can only imagine what it was like in the locker room if this is what's he's saying in front of the camera
earwitnesses agree that it got loud the term 'honor' was to be heard coach showed two soccer-related clips and one mentality-oriented hope Scally spoke out, as a veteran (of young age) he has enough matches to his credit to do so (I have a hunch but still would like to know who exactly he meant with 'too many egos')
Well, as so many have requested... Kicker rating for Scally was a 5.0 (1.0 is best, 6.0 is the worst). Close to the Bobby Wood 6, but not quite. LOL Scally was the 2nd highest rated starter for Gladbach, if that means anything. On Fotmob.com, Scally was also 2nd highest of the starters, with an 8.1. Kicker is kind of silly. I mean, just because the team did so poorly doesn't mean every single player was worthless. Consider Frankfurt's central defender got a 1.5 rating (walking on water level) yet their defense conceded 4 goals.
Consider this, tho - in the last 45 minutes BMG has outscored their opponents 4-0, so extrapolating from that, they end up the season winning the rest of their games 8-0, end the season with 89 points and a +225 GD, so I think it's shaping up to be a record-breaking year.
