Arsene Titman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’ve seen more than one reference on other sites to Jack Marriott’s “off the field antics”. I know there are rumours about lack of effort in training but I’ve not heard of anything else. Certainly there has to be something besides injuries for two successive managers largely to ignore the squad’s only natural goal scorer. Does anyone know more about these alleged antics and, if they can enlighten us, will it get past the mods? I can see things culminating in Marriott being shipped out . If so , it’s like the man who threw a boomerang at a ghost - it came back to haunt him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I do remember Lampard saying something to the effect of "he has to have a hard think about the player he wants to be" which is open to interpretation but would imply he felt there was more needed from him in addition to his obvious talent.

mwram1973 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 He does come across as someone who likes to rooster about abit, maybe that's the issue, he's mucking about alot in training when he should be focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There are rumours about lack of effort in training but I’ve not heard of anything else." So what other references have you seen? You're clearly talking absolute drivel.

Mostyn6 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 There was the story about him playing golf whilst injured, but on the physio’s agreement, but Lampard being upset about it, but Marriott being upset about Lampard digging him out for it, but Lampard didn’t say a word to the other injured player playing golf too. But.. not sure its relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean this article (did you write it George?) https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/100-hes-gone-plenty-of-Derby-county-fans-discuss-jack-marriotts-future-at-pride-park/ Which is essentially a load of quotes from idiots on FB.

Nothing would surprise me with this squad after crash gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDerby Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'm not having any of this 'Marriott doesn't train well' or 'isn't focused'. The only reason he hasn't played under both Lampard and Cocu is because he's very one dimensional, he can't play as a loan striker - he's no good with back faced to goal to bring others in to play, which both Lampard and Cocu clearly like with Nuge and Martin, both very clever players. It's the same reason that Vydra failed under Mac, he couldn't play the loan striker he needed to have someone around him. All of sudden we played a style and system that suited him under Rowett and bang, he's the leagues top scorer. Marriott always looks to play on the shoulder which can be effective if your playing on the counter (worked on occasions with Lampard). In a possession based team, he's very ineffective. For him to be most effective he needs to be played in a two, with someone he can work around which Coco clearly isn't willing to do. Sad for us and Jack, but it's not going to work out at Derby for him under Coco, unless he changes our style of play to fit him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing that, why on earth did Lampard sign him then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 To be fair to Marriott there’s been plenty of off field antics at Derby and he’s been no where near any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I heard that the other day when playing monopoly he nicked £500 while the banker was in the bog. Needs to have a long hard look at the sort of player he wants to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mention of antics was all they were. No details were given and I have personally heard no such rumours so my post was asking if anyone could enlighten me. I am not sure how that makes my post drivel.
