Lachlan Scott

This will prove to be an embarrassing thread for you when it's eventually archived, Goat. The boy has great instincts.

He took it so well, he looked so happy at the end of the game when he came over

and i hope it is an embarrassing thread for me, believe it or not i want our players to do well including Scott and his goal was fantastic so i am happy he scored such a good goal today

He reminds me of Adam Taggart, looks lost except when he's in front of goal.

So good to see true happiness in his face after the game. It's something that quickly fades away in the professional world.

well its better than Tyson who often lost the goals.

He got on the ball a lot more in this game. And if he does as well as taggart did before he moved overseas I'll be ecstatic!

The lad has an instinct for getting a shot away. He's almost better when he doesn't have time to think about it. Against esfc he saw the chance open up in front of him and he panicked.

Great that he got a goal, I reckon he's going to put his next good chance away now he has that confidence.

almost scored a similar goal against City a few weeks ago too.

part of me was hoping he fail this week so we see Majok get a run, but part of me is a **** too.

lol jk - all of me is a ****.

I agree with TGYWYW

Must be missing Popovic by now. 

Popa wouldn't be picking him either.

May be on the bench for the FFA Cup game or against the Jets on Saturday 

where are all the people praising him? Taurus was praising him as the second coming of jesus, the next best thing to sliced bread, what happened to that?, at least he scored a goal last night

Our youngsters are not stepping up. Look at Joey Champness for the Jets.Having a great season to date. Our juniors do not seem to be up to playing senior football at the moment. It's a worry. I don't know if it's the constant changing of the senior playing roster the club has a habit of doing, so, are the youth missing out on getting advice and training from first team players who have "been around" for a few years at a club.

I wouldn't be surprised if the club tries to move him on a year early and he'll need to make a huge impact to stay beyond his contract next season if he decided to stay on.

For the A-League his finishing is decently instinctive but he's not tall enough to be a aerial target man, he's not strong enough to be a back to goal hold up man and he's not fast enough to be a line breaking striker and there's little to suggest he can be a creative forward who helps make chances for the other attackers.

I suspect he'll end up somewhere like Blacktown City in a couple of years. He might do okay in Asia, somewhere like Malaysia or the Philippines.

kerem bulut was better

The Western Sydney Wanderers and forward Lachlan Scott have today parted ways by mutual consent. 

A Wollongong local, Scott started his junior football journey with Balgownie Rangers, playing for the south coast side until U11s when he joined Illawarra. 

Scott joined the Wanderers for the Foxtel Y-League season in 2015/16 and made an immediate impact, finishing the season as the Red & Black’s equal top scorer. 

The youngster was promoted to the Hyundai A-League side in 2016/17 and scored on his debut.

Scott went on to make 28 appearances across all competitions for the Red & Black, scoring five goals. 

The Western Sydney Wanderers wish Lachlan Scott all the best in his future endeavours. 

Shame - but he hasn’t progressed from when he first started with us. Surprised it’s taken this long to move him along.

Probably u21 contract still was paying more that something else would assume he ends up in npl somewhere 

told you he was always a trash player

yea mate i am very embarrassed we are losing him because he is signing with real madrid right?  

Wanderers actually have a pretty good record of letting young players go in terms we missed none of them 

Kuzmanovski

shabow 

aspro 

banderia 

a whole bunch other people can mention  

who is lighting it up? No one of significant nature 

The vast majority of players from any clubs youth academy will not make it at the level the youth academy's club is at.

i thought aspro was a massive loss.........but then i saw some of his recent performances

Saw Lachie Scott dismantle Marconi in a pre-season NPL2 game out at the HQ with Taurus...since then it was a slow, steady decline and fall.

Shame, but professional football is just that, and word was he never really was that professional

how is he going for the wolves? wonder if he could ever make a comeback

Sometimes a player may show talent as a youth but find the step up to fully professional one step too many at a young age. He may have found his level at NPL or he may be a late bloomer and mature into a better player over time.

He played in the first game of the season and got a goal against Sydney Olympic, in the 2nd he got an assist against North Shore Mariners. Third game was washed out apparently and now the season is postponed.

He always seemed to be make a big impact in the NPL and Y-League...but it seemed the A-League make him shake in his boots.
