The game we did play them at home together , vs Preston, they linked up well and that was the best game we played all season. Give them at least 5 games in a row to get used to each other. Feck it, even if it’s a 4-4-2 It was Middlesbrough when they started together- vs Preston i was Martin on his Tod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feck it, even if it’s a 4-4-2 For them to be given a run of games together they both have to be fit enough to play. Martin seems to be in a better place health wise (although it's debatable whether he can play 3 games in a week) and Marriott picks up lots of little injuries. Giving them 5 games in a row isnt that simple. The games we played them together were (10-man) Boro at home and Forest away (no goals), Preston was the game after those two, in which Marriott didn't feature.

Ramant62 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I like Marriott, and agree with most that given the right service, he will score a bag-full. Perhaps the reports we are getting about his attitude, and that he is not trying in training is because he is fed up with the same old same old that the team is serving up game after game. He is the only natural goalscorer we have, so getting goals is his game. We have been crying out for a creative and adventurous midfield and a couple of quick wingers for a long time, and I am as sure as I can be, that if we get them, and they feed Jack, he will score goals. Keep him at all cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he isn't a player who creates his own opportunites with play outside of the box, and I don't really see how he fits in or what opportunities our current midfield would ever be able to set up for him.
