If he can’t score goals in div one, why will a championship club want him ‘with ease’?
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.Very little creativity, but general movement by Dane is good ... andI did suggest next season
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 seasonVery little creativity, but general movement by Dane is good ... andI did suggest next season

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

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.
