He took last night’s well!
True. Skipp and Winks are first team players at a Premier League club but for many they didn’t “make it”.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind "not making it" for £200,000 per month (or £360,000 pm in Winksies case!).
3rd goal in 4 appearances for Oxford (4 in 5 for Dane including E u21 goal), so hopefully Oxford will give him the chances to play which he needs to continue scoring for them - especially as no other player has scored in the last 4 games Dane has played in .
Goal scoring is a good habit for strikers - hopefully he continues with that habit
From Oxford Forum (Wednesday);
I thought the energy he put into the first half yesterday was immense. (4 likes)
Between him and Ebiowei, he’s much more likely to have a better career and that’s because he works much harder and is less temperamental (2 likes)
Scarlett definitely put a shift in yesterday. Closed the Hull defenders down really well and hurried the keeper more than once.
Now.. and this isn’t a pile-on on Harris but I have to say I wis a little disappointed with his work rate when he came on. I thought he would really add some impetus against a tiring Hull defence after Scarlett had put the hard yards in, to prove that he deserves his Wales call-up, but he hardly lived up to his nickname. He looked a little bit sulky. (8 likes)

I think he’ll go the same way, he’ll end up having a decent career and make money most people could only dream of.
It just won’t be here.
Adam Smith, another academy graduate, has played over 200 Premier Leagues and even at 33 he's still getting minutes for a very talented Bournemouth.
Wether it's at Spurs as Dane dreams, or not...I got a weird feeling he is going to be scoring goals at EPL and champions level for a few seasons to come. Which is odd because I can't really define what the 'it' is he has.

Right place at right time ..... and ability to find whatever needed (head, boot whatever) to score.
Not that many players seem to have those abilities.
Another goal for Dane!
4 in his last 7 for Oxford in the Championship. Liam Delap (who's a year older) managed 8 goals last year in the Championship before breaking through in the Prem this season. Obviously harder to break through with us but he's in a decent place at the moment. Hopefully continues this form.
This season - 5 starts and 7 subbed on from bench totalling about 426 mins and 4 goals so far
So averaging about a goal every 106 minutes
Providing he gets minutes on a regular basis (and there's more than half the season to go) he'll finish season in double figures for goals scored, no problem
U’s boss explains striker selection call for Boro clash
DES Buckingham has explained the call to opt for Mark Harris ahead of Dane Scarlett in Oxford United’s dismal defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough.

DES Buckingham has explained the call to opt for Mark Harris ahead of Dane Scarlett in Oxford United’s dismal defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough.
Oxford United’s head coach believed that Harris’ ability to get in behind the Boro defence would make him more of an offensive threat, pointing to the chance Harris had when he did exactly that.
With the score at 1-1, Ruben Rodrigues slid a pass through for Harris, who looked to poke the ball round Sol Brynn, however the Boro goalkeeper did brilliantly to get a touch on the ball and thwart the U’s striker
Scarlett replaced Harris seven minutes into the second half, by now with the score at 4-1 to Boro, and the Tottenham Hotspur loanee pulled one back for United when he collected a pass from Tyler Goodrham and fired across goal.
U’s head coach Buckingham said of Scarlett: “He’s doing well when he gets his chances. He is in the box, as he’s starting to show, very dangerous.
“He only needs half a chance in the box, and he takes them. We’ve got two very good centre forwards here in Mark Harris and Dane, who have been sharing that workload.
“We felt that Mark would be able to stretch the game a little bit and create similarly to the chance he did create, and get in behind, which we felt would be important for us to start the game, knowing we could bring Dane on''
Seems to me the Oxford manager is trying to explain why his selection criteria didn't work (Harris did not score) so had to bring on Scarlett, but by that time it was to late, Oxford already 4-1 down. But Scarlett did score
