It was a quieter week this week after a quick start to the season. With Luke taking a break and playing football rather than watching it, this week allowed Harry to possibly gain a lead in the alphabet scorers race. St Mary’s was the destination for his first match and he got his fair share of action. A first half stoppage time goal from Sadio Mane gave Harry his first ‘M’ of the season.

The next new letter wasn’t far away at all with Roberto Firmino adding a second of the day for Liverpool and a second new letter of the day for Harry. A hat-trick of new letter was achieved when Adrian gifted Danny Ings a goal against his former club.

This wouldn’t be the end for Harry’s weekend as he headed down to Southampton once again but this time for their u23 team face up against Derby. The rules of the competition allow some over age players to feature and Derby took advantage of that by playing Chris Martin, Graeme Shinnie and Duane Holmes.

Derby won the match 1-0 with a goal from exciting youngster Jayden Mitchell-Lawson. A good goal for him but not so for Harry as he already had the letter ‘M’ with the above mentioned Mane goal two days prior.

So this means after the third week, Harry gains a lead of two over Luke. Despite the season being just a couple weeks in, the lead has changed twice already so it looks like it should be an exciting season both on and off the pitch.

Next week begins quickly with both of us heading to Cheltenham v Carlisle on the Tuesday. The likes of Luke Varney we’ll have a special eye on.
