EFL Championship : West Ham v Derby @ home, Saturday 5th Sept @ 3pm ( UK Time )
Maybe he needs to be taken out of the starting line up and used as a late substitute when the opposition attack is tiring.
And maybe he needs some more coaching on how to cross. -

Think thats an oversimplification tbhNot sure why Scarles gets beaten up for every mistake he makes, just like Kilman last season.
100% this. Young players make mistakes sometimes, and need some patience. If we can’t afford them that patience we can’t bemoan a lack of young players coming through.
Scarles is a young player yes and does need some time, but hes also a professional footballer on a professional footballers contract
This isnt a charity, we dont integrate youth players for the sake of it, if we did then we'd have hung onto Hines, Stanislas, Cullen, Coventry, Alese and so on and we'd be in league 1
I said multiple times on the transfer thread before the season began I'd be happy with Scarles and Mayers as LB options
He's started 4 of our first 5 games and hes struggled in most of those (and directly lost a few points)
There were 2 instances yesterday he played suicidal balls in our defensive 3rd under a little pressure but not exaclty loads and they got chances from it. He had a out 4 or 5 instances to cross from a dangerous position and all were awful, some couldn't beat the first man, one was floated directly to the keeper and a few didnt get within 10 metres of one of our players. He also knocked the ball out under zero pressure
Just because hes young, doenst mean I think he had a good game
Was at the game with my sister yesterday who watches little football and even she could see he was struggling and mentioned his head kept dropping everytime he made a mistake
Hes got potential, but atm he feels like hes got a massive error in him every game, and so far he kind of has -

Comfortable win against a poor team. Should have been 5-0 but can't have it all.
Mukasa is so assured for an 18 tear old. Good performances all over the pitch. Not sure why Scarles gets beaten up for every mistake he makes, just like Kilman last season.
And to top it all managed to meet up with MrsG. ⚒ -
Premier League Match Chat Week 1 up to international break.
How much have Spurs paid us now? Kudus and Fernandes have cost them a fortune and they are still useless 😅 -

Sadly Spurs got lucky with a disallowed Forest winner. Fernandes already struggling to keep his place and only an 83rd minute sub, got a yellow in the 84th minute and that was his match.
Kudus also came on as a sub, by my watch Kudus should be entering his sulking stage and thinking he is better than this about anytime now. -

On the way back, thought that was a comfortable win made uncomfortable in the 2nd half for a 20 minute period where we lost our rhythm
Thought Mukasa was class, not sure hes a central midfielder but hes doing bits
Engels worries me how often his passing was off, but he put his foot in and put some good challenges in. But need more from him
Thought the defence was largely untroubled althought thought Scarles was poor, his crossing was awful and his passing was off especially under pressure, even if he was largely solid defensively
Thought Piroe was class, Taty also good. Bowen was a bit wasteful but really positive and taking the game by the scruff of the neck.
Solomon was good, but too often he could've got his head up and passed instead of trying to dribble into trouble
All in all, a really good 3 points -
