'Rambe33 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 What was confirmed for me on Saturday that I've been thinking for a while is we are in dire need of firepower up front to support Marriott when hes not playing or off his game. I get that he's a likeable character. He occasionally starts the bounce when we've won and I'm sure he's great around the training ground and in the dressing room but even against a League One outfit, Nugent looked way-off it. He looks slower, laboured and doesn't hold the ball up for us. Please don't think this is an attack on Nugent but aside from Waghorn who Frank doesn't seem to want to play up top, I do think this is an area we need support in now. Definitely in the summer but if we could get a body in now that would be a huge boost and take a bit of pressure off Marriott. Maybe something a bit different as well.

Derbyram1983 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 When it matters against top teams in the championship and we haven’t got Marriott we will struggle. If we can ship a few out I’d imagine cb and striker are top of Lampard list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think since Soton - Waghorn seems to be a better player Do not forget young Bennett I think Frank sees something and Is Macdonald not a goal scorer ? But I do agree with the point in principle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm liking the look of Waghorn, strong player who can score with his head and as he showed on Saturday he can fight for a goal too. I would love us to buy someone from the lower league who is scoring goals for fun right now and chuck them in whilst their confidence is bubbling. Both Marriott and Holmes are proof the talent is there to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 'Mason Bennett, he's been a wonderkid to keep an eye on for about five years now'. Whatever Frank sees, I don't - sorry to have to admit.

Simple larpard has tried to teach him to be a lone striker but put waghorn uptop with him the 2 are perfect for each other! They are perfectly matched in parnership (style of strikers they are)!

Edtheram Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Waghorn and Marriott up top is what i would prefer. Marriott played in a 2 at Peterbrough anyway. Nugent is nowhere near championship level, Would be okay for Pompy or good for Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like those 2 together but one or both injured and we are going to struggle for goals. Would love a forward in on loan perhaps out of favour prem player. If he was ok out wide too, double bonus.

You may well joke, but I bet when he moves house, and his new neighbours ask where he's come from, he'll probably say prison, rather than admit the truth!

clarkeram7 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Nugent's workrate over shadows the fact he isn't a goal scorer at all. As a lone forward his workrate is in fact his own worst enemy because he sometimes presses at the wrong time and rarely finds himself in the box. When he does he misses ?♂️ For the league position we're in, sentiment aside he isn't good enough. We signed him 10 years too late. Last home game my friend asked the question Jerome or Nugent? I know who I'd rather have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
