CircleSeven Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I was browsing the online shirt auction after the Norwich game and it dawned on me, Jack Marriott is wearing the ‘coveted’ Number 9 shirt. I know I should have spotted it before but have seen so little of him I hadn’t noticed. So, it made me wonder, have we ever had a Number 9 who hasn’t scored at all for the club? Have any clubs? Not where the player has been injured but where the player has been available but so ineffective as a player that they haven’t scored a single goal? I sincerely hope the bloke gets at least one in the onion bag! And for the record, I am indeed trying to buy his shirt at the auction. UTO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When considering your bid remember to deduct any dry cleaning costs you had budgeted for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He’s shocking. Him and Kachunga are up there with the worst players to play for us since bothroyd, and Jeffers. They literally offer nothing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 A few players become associated with relegations. Players who were important signings and simply did not perform and their lack of performance contributed to relegation. For us, the list includes: Gilles de Bilde Daryll Powell Francis Jeffers Darren Purse You can add Marriot and Kachunga to the list. Forwards we signed to replace Nuhiu, Forestieri, Fletcher, and have scored 0 goals between them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmciverslovechild Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Wasn't signing "young and hungry" players our way forward? I think it's fair to say that if they were paid according to ability most would starve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bothroyd couldn't be bothered and it was disrespectful and Jeffers was a crock... but both had more quality than Kachunga and Marriott who just don't have what it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forwards we signed to replace Nuhiu, Forestieri, Fletcher, and have scored 0 goals between them. I dont think Marriot can be lumped into the same bracket as those. Its not like he has had a run of games and been dire for 90mins and missed chance after chance in each one of them. Its all fits and starts, thrown on with no plan when losing or similar. There are reported issues with him outside of football, so Ill give him some slack. Kachunga on the other hand.. wowzers. But to fair on all of them.. Kanchunga, Paterson and Windass are NOT strikers.. Throwing a team of misfits together in a -12 (at the time) season was always going to be an absolute disaster. Doesnt help when we dont play to an ideology, have 4 managers in a season and they regularly dont paid on time. Fletcher was always going to be impossible to replace and Nuhiu was so unique that in a way what he brought can never be replaced. I personally think its the footballing brain of Fletcher and Nuhiu that we miss Despite what anyone says about Nuhiu, he had something about him. Just rewatched that Leeds away game, the ball through for Murphy, and the peeling away from his marker for his goal are little dashes of quality that we sadly lack throughout the team at the moment.

modboy Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 we were warned re Kachunga but many just said it was sour grapes from Hudds fans. Really should have done everything to keep Nuhiu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither fit the way we wanted to play and they weren’t signed with a particular plan in mind. It was like ‘quick we need a striker, he’s available he’ll do’. Unsurprised that neither have scored a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
