Or will he treat the World Cup break as his off season? I'd expect him to perhaps just be used a bit lightly through our pre-season and built back up first few games of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltons Army Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Spent a very enjoyable 90 odd mins watching that and watching Scott like a hawk , imagining if I was reporting back to a potential suitor in the Premier League Tried to watch for any positives and negatives Getting the negatives out of the way they amounted to two very minor ones , the only ones I could even mention in the 90 Arguing with Lino and lucky not to get yellow , and one unnecessary ‘flick’ late on losing possession - the sum total of negatives in 90 mins As for the positives , there were numerous , the obvious , his first touch , composure , use of the ball , his defensive work , Winning the ball , winning free kicks ....the list was tick tick tick ,and possibly what impressed me as much as any of the obvious , was his maturity and game intelligence and awareness without the ball , constantly on the move , adjusting his position, filling holes , blocking passing lanes , in a high block - so impressive for someone of that age , and when we had the ball , always looking to make an angle to receive the ball. Id describe it personally as a very accomplished all round performance , and particularly for one his age If you were desperately looking for any comment on his overall make up as a player , I can only suggest that he ideally would like an extra yard of pace, he’s certainly not slow , but compared to some he’s not blistering It would help occasionally when he slips past somebody but he cant do much about that and compensates with his touch , opponent awareness and cleverness Add to how easily he changed position in the game , and the trust in him to do so - He can literally play any role in middle of park , as a 10 , or wide in a three I also think he has a real competitive edge to him , a bit of fire edging on ruthless if needed Another real tick for me He even looks like he’s rolled out of a Manchester or Liverpool suburb , not Jersey I really think his choice of destination when he departs is vital - I’d be totally looking for a side that are possession based Credit to the whole team , in their discipline and shape - very impressive , and bloody hell do we have some monsters coming through Half The team were built like Linford Christie , as powerful , and nearly as quick , but with the technical ability of top end players - frightening Edited June 23, 2022 by Sheltons Army 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard this before, but I know that Sir Stanley Matthews said he used to train with weights in his socks which he felt helped strengthen his calves, and had the psychological advantage that he felt that little bit lighter on match days. He played until he was 50 so often makes me wonder whether others have tried it, and if not, why not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players would have broken forward thinking about receiving a through ball later on. Not Alex Scott. He was marked (not tight, but his marker in-touch), so what did he do? He stood still. His marker continued running back towards goal, Chucka then had an easy passing option, sideways / slightly forward to Scott, who got it, opened his body, and sprayed a simple pass out to Norton-Cuffy bombing forward. Just a simple example of his game maturity, and perhaps something he learned at Southampton, because Alan Ball snr, once said Matt Le Tissier is the best player at getting into space by standing still. That wasn’t a dig at his laziness, it was a compliment of how some players think they have to run forwards, when your marker will always follow you. By standing still your marker will often ease off getting tight, thinking you are no longer a danger. It buys you time. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing angles certainly but particularly the angle at which to receive the ball, including body position. It's these kinds of skills that make it better to play him as an 8 than as a 10 imo. He's only going to get better so I hope we get to see another year or two here before he moves onwards and upwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very good at finding pockets of space and angles to receive the ball. Whilst long term he may end up playing as a '10' would br interested in seeing him play a bit deeper and link the play. Despite not playing much its something Nagy was very good at for us, receiving deep and snspping off forward passes. I know Afobe gets a lot of credit for Palmers initial form but actually think Nagy made just as big a contribution in those few games before his injury. Scott next to Williams/James would be interesting to see albeit they would both have lots of defensive work to do. But if we can get the ball forward through the midfield quicker will make us a far better side 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've all been rested. Scott has played most of a season, had probably a 3 or 4 week break and is now playing games. He will also get at least 3 weeks off in November/ December.

NcnsBcfc Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Was going to say the manager obviously likes, and rates him. Has rotated a lot of players over the three games. But Scott will probably come out as one of the highest in terms of minutes on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
