Dane Scarlett - 9 -MOTM
(Replaced by Josh Koroma on 77 minutes): Lovely finish for Pompey’s goal and had another great chance with a lob minutes later. Yet overall game was superb, holding the ball up and battling away.
Very little creativity, but general movement by Dane is good ... andI did suggest next season
FYI, Portsmouth's top goalscorer is joint 3rd in the league, and before yesterday, Scarlett was the same amount as their LB (Ogilvie), so I don't think creativity of the team is the issue.
It sounds like he is doing a lot of good work though, but he will need to add goals to get a Championship loan, which he might do 2nd half of the season, who knows.
He’s hugely promising and still v young but unless he scores goals, I don’t think he will be of much interest to Champ clubs next season

“Dane – wow! I don’t think I’ve seen a number nine defend from the front like that in all my days watching football.
Danny Cowley on Dane Scarlett “I am telling you now, in 15 years of football, I don’t remember seeing a number nine defend as well as Dane did with that effort. “It’s not just energy, not just intensity, his intelligence was so good, I am so pleased with him.
I told him in the lead up in the game, just keep being an honest kid, put the team first and football always repays those qualities. “It’s an honest game is football and I was pleased with him because he so deserved to score that goal – and what a really good finish as well.
“He’s just a good kid, he has a steel about him which is beyond his years, mentally he’s incredibly tough and that’s why we know he is going to be the very, very best he can be. “Whatever that will be, I have no doubt he will make the most of his natural talent.
That's really encouraging words, and great to hear there doesn't appear to be any negatives in his attitude, personality or demeanour from a football perspective at least.Watch the video as well.Cowley: The Qualities I’m Looking For

Physically found it tough and had a great late chance with flying header. Not a good day.
Is he playing in a deeper role at the moment?
I only saw the last 10 minutes but looked like he was up top in a front 2
Bishop (age 25 experienced striker) seems to be Portsmouth's main striker who has scored about 13 goals, Scarlett (as 2nd striker) and AM's and others getting into scoring areas have all scored 3 or 4 goals in a similarish number of games.

Part of the cavalry which arrived with 22 minutes left and put himself about, but was feeding on scraps.Missed todays game through 'illness'. Only 1 more game before January transfer window where we have the option to recall him so interesting to see if he features in a few days
