I’d agree that Martin’s a better target man and has a better touch than Waghorn or Marriott.As for Marriott being “ a better finisher” I’ll believe it when I see it! Marriott misses good chances and up goes the cry that he needs more games to “ build his confidence!” Waghorn misses and he’s a donkey, according to some.Lampard signed both and preferred Waghorn,it appears Cocu feels the same way.I’m not ecstatic about all three of them but if you amalgamated their strengths then you’d get a reasonable forward! Everyone knows we need new central defenders ,a goalkeeper and a winger but that centre forward spot will be a tough one to fill as they’re not easy to find or cheap!? Marriott is a finisher, Waghorn is not. No comparison. Not unsurprising that we go back to struggling to create when he doesn't play either.

Everyone knows we need new central defenders ,a goalkeeper and a winger but that centre forward spot will be a tough one to fill as they’re not easy to find or cheap!? I think we'll get a new striker in summer. Cocu likes an amalgamation of the qualities of all 3 of our forwards: big, strong target man who can retain possession in the final 3rd as well as being a threat in the area. Waghorn had a pass success rate of 45.5% today and lost possession 8 times whilst only having a single shot... that's indefensible. A world away from his performance as a No.9 against Hull (H) last season where I thought he looked an accomplished lone striker. His only saving grace is that he does keep getting a goal every 3/4 games which is a good habit to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said enough regarding your first point but I suspect the reintroduction of Lawrence might be a significant cause of our lack of cohesive football at times.I won’t vilify him like some do but I suspect his time here is limited.

Stevie had racked up 140 goals before we signed him and he only scored 17 for us in 63 apps. This french footballer as only scored 50 goals in 252 apps.

Gerry Daly Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 3 much bigger clubs ‘join’ Rotherham. Total agent positioning him in the market rubbish. Why would Rooney be interested in in some random player that we were first ‘linked’ with more than a year ago, long before he was put in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKR was loved by near enough every team he’s been at around the world. CKR has played at some massive clubs n was a hit with fans, and was highly rated by them. Gnandullit had one decent season at Blackpool, went to the Turkish 2nd division and flopped and left very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsRam1999 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Read somewhere he scored 15 in 28 starts last season. Doesn’t seem that bad to me? Can anyone tell me his accurate scoring record? I’m sure there is a few stat buffs on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was only playing in league one but that isn’t bad going. 1 in 2 is always a good return for a striker. Presumably he would not command a huge wage.
