Sergeant Tibbs Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 1 minute ago, Bluesteel said: I know what you mean, at Huddersfield and Blackburn he seemed to read the path of the ball perfectly and outsmart defenders. He’s had a few potential lift off moments here but the pressure to build on that and score again and again seems to have had the wrong effect. Players like Hooper, Fletcher and Nuhiu have all seemed more comfortable. The playoff semi was dissapointing and he amongst several others lacked some conviction and aggression in that game. By the end under Jos I think he looked fitter and more aggressive but we simply cannot afford to keep him having failed a third time to get promoted. I just hope fans remember that if he does well at Norwich, our hands are tied here Boringly I've said before, sometimes you just have to cut your losses. Whoever gets the blame, we've got to get on with it. I'm sure JL will have a plan, better luck with injuries this season will see us top 8 at least. I'm certainly not worried about Norwich as competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players take to new positions, but from what I can tell Marshall has not really taken well to be changed from winger to wing back. Has he been signed as a winger, a wingback, or a fullback? Now, my bold is a telling question because if he's a wingback, that suggests Norwich will line up similarly to how we did last season under Jos, a formation where Rhodes did not flourish in.

NeonLeon Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Best for both parties. Think he’s been pretty disillusioned at Wednesday for a while. And I’m not sure Jos’ style has helped either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a player who has been a bit diverse in how he has been played in recent times though - he has played wing back and full back far more in the last few years. The homework on Marshall is not my issue - but if he's supposed to put it on a plate for Rhodes, what i'm getting at is the likely formation for Norwich next season, which IMHO does affect Rhodes - he will not play well in a 3 CB formation, in any variant of it.

So we lose a top 6 RB in Hunt. Loovens, Wallace, Clare, Hirst, Rhodes and Butterfield. Yet Norwich will struggle, after selling a player for 22m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears to be a lovely lad but looked like he was carrying a weight of expectation (and a bag of spuds) on his shoulders. You know something is badly wrong when your star striker, signed to make the difference and helps us get promoted, won’t take a penalty in a play off semi final. That was pretty shambolic. Yes....and it clearly traces back to the penalty miss at Leeds. Somehow you could tell it wasn't going to work out. Such a shame he seems a decent bloke.
