sonofmidnight Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Please can we ban the use of the word dud in relation to any Derby player. We all know, except perhaps one person, that it's a ridiculous adjective to describe Jack and it's certainly not in the spirit of support for our team and respect for Lampard's choices to use that word to describe any Derby player. Yes we've had the derisory laugh. Let's move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Looks to have that bit of instinct that all good strikers need. Has the twinkle shins of a natural. Glad he's up and running now, seems to.have picked up some Nuge pest factor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The young David Nugent? Chases everything scores from nowhere runs behind the defenders causing nightmares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 He’s really good technically, I didn’t think he’d be as good. The finish against QPR, the lay-off for Bryson’s goal and the winner last night were all things requiring awareness and he made them look easy. I’m glad he wasn’t written off before he really started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksRam Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 His movement and timing are what impressed me. He took his goal brilliantly but it was the timing and the run itself, dropping back off in between the defenders that made the opportunity. Needed a quality cross though and he got it. If other players (aka Lawrence) can adapt and get their heads up half a second quicker and spot his runs he could get well into double figures. Big step up for him but for me he's now showing he could be the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Credit to both the player and set up here. It would have been easy for Marriott to let his head down after finding himself 2nd if not 3rd choice at the start of the season. The togetherness of the group has meant he's quietly learned the championship trade from Nugent while Frank has brought him in at the right time. Adapting to the league is half the fight, Lampard and his signings seem to have hit that nail on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Very interesting player now we can see him starting. Must admit from substitute appearances I was struggling to discern what he offers, but now he’s starting you can see he’s far more intelligent that I expected. When we bought him I was expecting a young Darren bent, nowt wrong with that of course, but was expecting him to be an off the shoulder type poacher. And to an extent he has that in his locker. But he’s got more than that, his movement in excellent and drags defenders around, for example his dummy run allowed for boggles superb pass to Lawrence second half. He’s gained a couple of yards of pace as well, and is pretty good at dropping deep and carrying the ball forward. I think he could be our striker for a long time, he’s got that aura of a Steve Howard, chris Martin etc where the fans get behind him and he creates fear in the opposition. Every generation of a team needs that striker to build around and he could well be it. As long as we don’t launch it aerially to him. That didn’t work?

jono Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Thought he was a terrier on acid. All over the place and with a nice touch too. Not brilliant in the air but that’s about the only negative I can see. Hunted down everything, harried their GK and that curving run to take Fozzie’s cross was just perfect. .. heard strains of sweet chariot ringing out .. think we might be hearing that again a few times this season.

You cant teach that first time instinctive finish. The one against QPR, I couldn't see anyone else in the squad finishing that off. Its a natural talent. Give him the ball and he will score.

Sparkle Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The goal he scored yesterday was excellent and so was his reading of the game in the box, message to wide players don’t fanny about with the ball trying to look good get in there and he will put them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have intelligence and a steady confidence, with just the right smidgen of arrogance. In this regard he does remind me of Chris Martin.

Just a gut feeling really, but I think he'll establish himself and do the business. We haven't really replaced that club 'talisman' quality since Chis Martin was at his peak. I never felt it with Vydra, despite his obvious success. As you say, it's something about the player embodying the belief of the fans, and getting in the faces of the opposition. Sorry if that's a bit too esoteric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
