Scott said "I spent a lot of time on my own, and it was similar to what a lot of people maybe experienced during [the Covid-19] lockdowns, which I didn't get because I was at home with a lot of close-knit family at that time.
"I experienced real loneliness and I found it difficult.
"As a footballer you don't work the typical nine-to-five and you are not busy all hours of the day, so I found myself in my own company a lot.
"Then I started to feel pretty down and just a bit emotional and didn't understand why.
"I was finding it difficult to train.
"I was still training and I wasn't really portraying it in terms of attitude, but I was finding it difficult to train well if that make sense. A lot of the things I was trying weren't coming off and I think that comes from the mental side of the game.
"When you see a striker who is confident, you see them scoring goals and everything they hit goes in. It felt the complete opposite of that, where nothing was going for me.
"Everything was against me in a way, and I found it really difficult so I just thought I needed to take myself out of the environment, try to take a break and have a little re-set.
"Talking about it in therapy helped. It helped massively and changed my life to be honest.
"I had a light-bulb, life-changing moment during that and when I went back down (to train with Notts) I felt in a much better place to get going again."
