Player Watch Player Watch: Dane Scarlett

[rabbikeane]

He should look at Parrott, his success this year and 12 goal involvements in the dutch league

He should just replace Parrott at Excelsior.

 

[Montalbano]

He’s so desperate for a goal it’s been detrimental to his play each time I’ve watched him. Looks dramatic and selfish.

Just play Dane and the goals will come.

 

[Marty]

Got into two or three positions where a perfect final ball would've seen him score, that was good to see.

This seems to happen to him practically every time he steps on the pitch.

 

[tubbygold]

Has to start next game. Gave us the dynamism we needed, with wingers on both sides, that could go to the line.

 

[GutBucket]

Not sure how good he is and I doubt we'll find out against a team like City, but looks like he's best option for that position right now.

Have to give him a go, that front three that started today shouldn’t be seen again, Kulu has totally lost it.

 

[Goobers]

50 something games hopefully next season I would say we will need at least three options to play up front. Why not Dane as one of them ?

 

[matty74]

Would have got a goal if Johnson wasn’t having one of his wayward games for crossing

 

[überghost]

He's a few games away from having a big impact. Just give him consecutive minutes and let him have some confidence. Was good today, made our shape look better.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Every game is a wayward game for Johnson.. wasteful

 

[PCozzie]

I've seen him sliding in forlornly at the far post a lot when he's got the chance to play but today I saw him offer himself up as a target man a couple of times which I haven't seen him do. One particular instance when Vic was struggling to find a way out and Dane made a run over towards the touchline, chested the ball down, and won the free kick, in a similar way to Kane.

Really want to see what he can do with more than a cameo.

This. Start him upfront son left

But we need that front 3 so we can lose against city

Start Scarlett Son and BJ against Sheff Utd in a game we actually want to win.

Yea absolutely should be staying as our 3rd choice striker next season unless Veliz comes back and Scarlett goes on loan again.

 

[UbeAstard]

Kulu was overated from the start. A few good moments made people overlook the limitations and poor things.

 

[McFlash]

Nah, Kulu was great at the start.
He's been pretty poor for a while now though but you can't deny his initial impact.

 

[rossdapep]

Really like this kid and I hope he can turn into a regular goalscorer for us.

 

[thebenjamin]

If it me or are his feet quite slow? Might be an adaptation thing but I've thought whenever I've seen him play that he looked a very decent footballer but was lacking a bit of zip.

One of those fine-tuning things that improves with regular match time. The guy's lucky if he gets 10 minutes on the pitch a month. I really think next season is going to be big for him with whichever European competition we end up in and hopefully a better attempt at winning domestic cups.

I think we will see quite a rapid improvement in those technical aspects the more he plays.
