OasisOwl72 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Great performance last night and the tone set by the energy, work rate and movement of Windass and Katchunga up front. Just an observation and not intended as criticism but we need to rotate a three of the aforementioned and Patterson up front. Marriott has started 4 games and we’ve lost all 4. 6 games he hasn’t started W 3 D 2 L 1. The way we played last night and in other games this season with decent pressing and high energy all falls down when Marriott starts. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 It's a strange one. Derby fans and Luton fans rated him, thiught we'd pulled off a good deal, but by all accounts he's woeful. Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrickyTrev Posted November 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2020 In fairness it took Gary Hooper a while to get going at Wednesday. Marriott has come to the club at a difficult time, I think he needs to be given time. 15 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s more to do with playing a bit dogger in those past games rather than Marriott being the reason. Plus he needs playing in rather than having it hoofed up to him. Just a different style of player. Hopefully a goal will set him off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 He looks a bit "muscle mass" heavy to me which will make him physically powerful. It's ok to have strength but muscle mass is typically associated with bursts of pace rather than constant pace so it could be that he currently has the wrong physiology for a pressing game (which is what it appears Monk wants his forwards to carry out). Maybe that's why he looks like "little boy lost" at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why he looks like "little boy lost" at times. He's an elite athlete, i haven't seen anything from him to question his aerobic capacity. He seems fit as a fiddle. We don't actually play at that high a tempo either, so it's not like recovery is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre totally agree - his best position is definitely the bench and coming on for the last 10-15 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 We won’t have to worry about Derby recalling him at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Strikes me as more of an impact/sub player. Good to bring on if you want to irritate tired defenders and run the channels. Not a starter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinowl Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I reckon he’s got something that lad. Just needs to sharpen up a bit. Something there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I hate criticising and he definitively needs more time. BUT, he has been absolutely woeful for us. So far, he has offered less than Rhodes. He cant hold the ball up, has no place, he isn't the strongest and he isn't a poacher. He also loses the ball, fouls or is offside everytime the ball goes to him. We need a step change in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Seeing as we're short in defence, any chance we can stick Paterson back in RB? I mean, once a defender, always a defender not like he's scoring loads for us either, so why not use him in a position he knows, if we're short in a 442 that is.

Tommy Crawshaw Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Saw him many times live playing for Derby the last few seasons and he's a very good player. In ways though I think he's similar to Rhodes in that he needs the ball played into his feet around the penalty area and he'll score goals. Not ideal lumping long balls up to him, which suits players like Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I think Marriott would be more suited to the type of set up and we did last night. Windass played up top with Kachunga just off him and we were looking to play passes down the channels for Windass to run onto. Marriott can play the role Windass and is probably quicker. What has happened previously is that he has been stuck up their with Paterson and expected to feed on knock downs from long balls. Very difficult for that to work. Play him in that Windass role and he has the pace to hurt teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thought windass was effective again up top last night gives us something including Marriott so far don’t? Think once Marriott up to speed he’ll be ok? Like someone said remind me bit of hooper when he first signed clearly off the pace atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
