s6 owl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 This isn't underwhelming we know Ben is a good player better than any other winger we have and with Maghoma gone and Maguire maybe following it makes sense i'd take him every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 @AlanBiggs1: Wary of rumours...but one circulating that Blackburn have rebuffed a #swfc approach for Ben Marshall might be close. I think he's a target.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Possibly the most overrated player of all time by most on here. I kind of want him to sign just to prove that and stop the bloody bum licking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ben Marshall: 2014/2015: 42 appearances, 6 goals, 8 assists 2013/2014: 18 appearances, 2 goals, 2 assists 2012/2013: 40 appearances, 4 goals, 10 assists Average of one goal every 550 minutes (Over a 46 game Championship season that's 7.5 goals) Average of one assist every 330 minutes (Over a 46 game Championship season that's 12.5 assists) You'd turn your nose up on someone that averages 20 goals a season as a direct result of their play?

StudentOwl Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Creative statistics. How can he average 20 goals & assists a season when he hasn't reached that in any of the 3 seasons you posted above? Probably because he hasn't played all 4140 minutes of a Championship season before- my example assumes that he plays every minute of all 46 games, whereas in reality he a) doesn't play in every game, and b) most probably gets substituted on or off for some of his appearances. Yes, the 20 goals is on an assumption that he plays every minute of the season, but that's just how I worked it. If you want you can do the maths yourself: http://uk.soccerway.com/players/ben-marshall/88217/ http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-marshall/profil/spieler/118567 46 x 90 =4140 His minutes on the pitch divided by number of assists and goals gives the numbers I've given above, eg one assist every 330 minutes of game time. 4140/330 is...

Franny Jeffers is England's best ever striker if you use that logic. He a managed an average of a goal a game so if he'd have managed 50 caps he would have scored more than Bobby Charlton.

sheffield_dave Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Firstly, I'm not validating the OP's claim as it could well be rubbish, but would it really be an underwhelming signing? it's not the kind of signing that would boost season tickets sales, but are people seriously expecting a team full of world-beaters? Should we go back in for a Maghoma-type player? He's a good, Championship standard winger. In my opinion we need 3 of those, so if Marshall is the "underwhelming" of the ones we sign then we're in for a good summer.

Except he's not saying Marshall is the best winger ever, just that he contributes significantly when compared against his time on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
