Duracell Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 46 minutes ago, MACKWORTHRAM said: Marriott hasn't just bagged 33 goals in the league below. And yes the Championship is a big step. But Lampard must be confident this lad can bag 15-20 goals next season. Not necessarily. Only 9 players in the entire league got in this bracket last season. A third of those didn’t even play for sides in the top 6 (more than a third if you count Grabban’s goals for Sunderland). I think sometimes it’s easy to think that all you have to do is add 20 goals or so to your previous season’s tally to finish higher, and a striker can do that. It isn’t that simple, nor is there a correlation as strong as you think between possessing these “20-goal-a-season” strikers and finishing in the top 6. There is a correlation, however, between teams who have multiple players scoring more than 8 goals across the season. It’s also notable how the best teams in the league aren’t reliant on one striker. Personally, I’d be a disappointed if Lampard’s philosophy was simply signing a striker to get loadsa goals. Maddison is a good fit for Derby if he can play the way Lampard wants, and that doesn’t necessarily mean scoring 15-20 goals if he’s the key to us playing a certain way. Totally agree on Nugent and Cameron by the way. Absolutely fine to have those guys around the squad and coming off the bench, but they’re not a good Plan A for a serious Championship side any longer.

Barney1991 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 One of my friends is in portugal and went to the game at Peterborough today and said marriott was immense showed strength and looked quality. I see loads of people on here moaning, about him and they will be the same people moaning when he goes to someone else bangs loads in and then gets sold for double the price for as they say not taking a punt on him as they did with ollie Watkins who because we wouldn't take the risk now is being linked with the prem for over 14 million profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but Steve Nicholson’s online posts are just click bait now that Rams TV has stolen his exclusive news and interviews. when he does his weekly web chat I sometimes send in a question just to amuse myself, he just gives his thoughts with no factual answers.

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 You have to think whether Bennett’s form is making Lampard think twice about spending big money on a forward. He’s playing down the middle here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good back up but if we've got serious ideas about promotion he cannot be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best strikers I ever saw in my life were Jimmy Greaves and Gerd Muller. I think that if you took their career total of goals (around 880 between them) and laid them from end to end, they probably wouldn't reach nuch more than twice round the outside of Pride Park.

I’d definitely still like one coming in, but he’s definitely given Lampard a decision to make (Bennett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Mason Bennett is not a top Championship striker, he just isn't. Saying it a lot does not make it the truth, no matter how much we might all want it to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Wouldn’t mind selling both Jerome and Nugent and keeping Martin and Bennett as the 2nd and 3rd choice strikers respectively but as said before, we still need a top striker if we want to have a successful season.
