Player Watch: Dane Scarlett

[olithfc]

He maybe another Rory Allen, Neal Fenn or Shaq Coulthirst.. Lots of early promise but ending up scratching around the lower levels looking for a game.

Seems like it

still not getting on

Surely it's better to of sent him to league 1 and have him playing week in week out than again sending him to a championship club to struggle for a game.

I despair at our management of the youngsters sometimes.

Unless this is all attitude related issues?

He’s 20 not really a kid anymore,
Should really be able to be championship standard by now if he’s going to looking to be playing for us or a premiership club soon.

 

[chas vs dave]

He needs to work hard and take the chance when it comes.

 

[tubbygold]

Unless this is all attitude related issues?

Haven't heard anything about that, pretty sure he's generally a hard worker.

 

[dj_stu]

He always seems to have a face like a slapped arse - a well known metric for the best scouting departments.

 

[eddiebailey]

Unless this is all attitude related issues?

My understanding was that part of the reason he was loved at the club was that his attitude was so good, particularly coming back from a career threatening injury at a young age.

His problem now seems basically to be a morale one.

 

[pedrodelawasp]

I guess the hope, as ever with a younger guy out on loan, is that he’s working hard in training, getting his head down and waiting for his chance. Hopefully when it comes he’ll grab it and start to fulfill his promise.

He’s getting to around about the age Kane was when he was at Leicester, isn’t he? Would be a big ask for him to come back and make a similar impact, but best of luck to the lad.

"a big ask" may be the understatement of the century

That’s a fair point

 

[rabbikeane]

would have prefered him even at Excelsior despite their relegation, would have scored loads and become proven at a senior level.
He struggle to survive in English lower leagues so far.

 

[mr ashley]

Not sure we can lay the blame at the loan club.
start of last season I think most would have said going to newly promoted Ipswich under former spurs coach McKenna in the championship was a smart move.
This year he’s gone to newly promoted Oxford and they’re also now in the top 6.
needs to keep working hard and hope fate deals him a good hand at some point

 

[archiewasking]

Is he even getting a game at Oxford?

Looks like he’s been coming off the bench a lot.

 

[s_purs]

Can this be moved to loan section please? Makes it easier to keep track

At the same age Kane was at Leicester, 13 appearances, two goals. Hardly pulling up trees and no one would have predicted how his career was going to go!
The following season he found himself in the senior squad and won PFA YPotY then won the golden boot two seasons running.
I just don’t think we can make any judgements on any of the younger players these days, for me it’s very much a case of what will be will be.

Yes , but we can’t judge everybody by Kane. Kane did it, the majority of the rest will fall short. I’m afraid Dane hasn’t done much for the last two seasons . It’s up to him.

Especially with strikers. When they are getting Oxford level service, compared to premier league level service it's always going to be hard to judge. Part of the puzzle anyway. They already have technique otherwise they wouldn't have made it this far.

Looks like he’s been coming off the bench a lot.

The amount of time he's getting seems to be increasing which is a positive sign, hopefully he can start scoring and get himself a starting spot.
