Well if it makes them hungry and a point to prove then so be it. its also happened to a lot of our players this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDerby Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I don't understand the big issue, he might have picked up a small knock in training? We have another busy week. Give him the Saturday off and let him know he's got a part to play in the week or at the weekend. We have a big squad, USE IT! it's clear he hasn't been at his best for a while, a fully fit Jack Marriott is in the match day squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will wait to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 5 hours ago, cheron85 said: Tactical decisions maybe? Marriott plays his best football facing the goal, slipping in behind the defence - Waghorn and Bennett both have the capacity to play with their back to goal a little more - So if you know a defence plays a particularly deep line and/or has particularly quick/mobile CBs then you might want to prioritise players who are stronger with back to goal? I really like your post ?? … You surely have a certain team and set of subs designed to play in a certain way; but that is bound to be influenced by what the opposition is like and tweaked accordingly. Anyway, I bet a pound to a penny Jack has had a minor knock, but even those need to heal - playing with them although possible, takes that last 5% off your performance .. and that last 5% is what makes Jack such a dangerous whippet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we attacked well against Brentford but no striker scored. I can't help but think the way that game went a marriott would have made it 4. Jack can score goals so should always be an option at least from bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukedcfc Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hopefully back tonight, no manager would have Nugent on the bench over Marriott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore I can't understand why you would leave a goal scorer out all together to be honest. But you are referring to performances months ago - he hasn't looked good since he came back from injury. However he won 't have lost his skill and needs to be reintroduced at some point. We have been scoring goals without him. But this questioning of team selection from fans who are essentially ignorant of exactly what has happened is naive. If Frank has had a bust up with Marriott he wouldn't make it public.

Comrade 86 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Three possibilities: 1) Jack's carrying a niggle 2) His absence is a tactical decision 3) He's pissed off management and is on the naughty step How about we just wait to find out which of three it is (or perhaps there's some other left field reason) before we lament Frank's lack of acumen. The guy's forgotten more about the game than any on here can claim to know. We're scoring for fun at the moment anyway so if anything needs tweaking, it's the defence.

Andicis Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Honestly, most of the second of the season Marriott hasn't looked too impressive. Quite often his control is off, if Frank prefers to use Waghorn and Nugent I'm okay with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's 1) then why wouldn't you just say that when asked in a press conference? If it's 2) then it's up there with Rowett dropping Vydra in the run-in last season.

Comrade 86 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Derby County: Roos, Bryson, Tomori, Keogh, Wilson, Mount, Waghorn, Lawrence, Johnson, Cole, Bogle. Substitutes: Carson, Wisdom, Huddlestone, Holmes, Bennett, Nugent, Jozefzoon. Folk to moan about Holmes in 3,2,1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has struggled since Mount got injured, the same as our whole team. Marriott being selected over Nugent is criminal, unless there is something else.

Sexydadbod Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Madness, not on the bench again. Sure he wasn’t in the best of form before but he wasn’t terrible either. No way Bryson or Nugent deserve to be in the squad instead of him, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 But we are not in full possession of the facts. There could be a non footballing reason to explain his absence and a drop of confidentiality is the order of the day. We don’t need to everything you know.
