Looks like **** defence isn’t just a first team issue... Scarlett’s a had a really good start to the season too.
Scarlett scores again... *pretends to be shocked*. Here’s hoping the lads don’t have ‘onehalfitis’ like their first team counterparts.
Not for the first time this season, our second half performance against Southampton improved on the first...
Scarlett’s on fire so far, probably watching Kane and saying “yeah, I can do that too!”. Whilst both Devine and Paskotsi are looking like great signings. Seems like a decent crop this bunch, felt liked we’d dipped a bit in recent season but these under 18s are giving the impression they’ve got a bit about them.
The main thing going for our current U18s is there appears to be a strong spine: Paskotski at the back, Devine in the centre, Santiago between the lines and Scarlett up front, and it looks as if they might all be heading to U23 level this season (with Devine already playing for the U23s a few weeks ago) Of course, if we're going to think about our starting Skipp/Devine pivot for the 2022-23 season, we should probably remember that the U18s of two seasons ago (i.e. Parrott, White, Bowden, Cirkin, fagan-Walcott) haven't broken through yet with the exception of Luis Binks...who broke through at Montreal
Dane Scarlett back with the U18s this afternoon, although by the looks of things Alfie Devine is getting another runout with the U23s later
