No sign of anything on that front at the moment which is worrying especially since Martin's departure. I don't see Lawrence as the answer upfront in whatever position. Tbf I'd have a lot more faith in Marriott if his # of chances per game ramped up. We were told by P'boro fans when he came that despite his goalscoring record he wasn't very clinical. We disregarded that as he (and our team in general tbh) was quite clinical during Lampard's season; but I think we're seeing there was truth behind that opinion. He's good at getting himself into positions to score; its just that our 'creators' only find him in those positions, as it stands, once or twice a game. If that went up to 4 or 5 a game, due to signing these aggressive wingers, his scoring record would, you could imagine, be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point about Marriott but also the championship defenders are better than the league one defenders. I also think he needs space to attack the goal and you rarely get any especially when we play one up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This has got an 'Abdoul Camara' sort of vibe to it and that's fine by me. I do enjoy a wildcard player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you’re wrong ????? Lol Has he ever played CF ... bar a fleeting we’ve got nothing else last 5 - 10 mins of one or two games? when u say CF do u mean the guy in the middle of the 3 Behind the front man? Or genuinely the focal point of our attack ??? the latter he’s hardly ever played that for us so I’m not sure how u can gage that He’s been played many a time in that amc role where he has indeed thrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brilliant for five minutes in the Cup against Hartlepool, but the truth is he wasn't even the best Camara to play for the club in recent times, never mind the best winger.

Was dying for Tomori when he was on loan with us but took em best part of a year after that to get him on. That's why my interest has waned really Grandsir at 37p will be worth a dabble if he comes, couple of decent games and he'll double in price.

jono Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 His is just such a fantastic name ! Headline writers dream. And at 37p it’s cheaper than the DET. We need a striker called Bullet and a midfield enforcer called Hardman. Just not the Goalie who never made the big time .. Conan Fodder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer I get that had the same myself with a couple of ipos... like the idea as u say but some cheap as chips ones got some Johnny of wolves .. Johnny Castro is it cheap as chips atm got him for about 32p ... hoping as time goes his value will rise... I mean Portuguese international, Premiership midfielder, played loads last year ... should certainly rise With a goal or assist or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said to @Ted McMinn Football GeniusI just don’t recall under cocu where Lawrence has been used in the cf role ahead of waghorn, Martin and Marriott coming from deep centrally ..yes drifting In off The flank ..yes Leading the line ....??? I think he did it once for a final 10 minutes on one game where we just trying to get energy onto the pitch ... want to say against hull Or boro at home But I might be wrong but by that stage of the game we were just defending and chasing it down certainly don’t recall any other times Lawrence has been our main front man with others trying to play off him but hey im sleep Deprived so maybe Iv made it all up ?

Comrade 86 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Looks a decent player even if his stats don't set the heart racing. He's certainly an out and out wingers and he looks pretty rapid. Interesting at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inter politics Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I think it was probably a smoke screen to try to stop Poznan from mucking around too much but I do think another wide option (in addition to Jozwiak) would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longeatonram2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Personally think Marriott struggles to get in goal scoring positions and find himself opportunities in matches compared to Waghorn. With a couple of decent wingers I think Waghorn will be the one to prosper, unless Cocu pulls a quality striker out the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn does tend to get that one golden chance per game - he missed a lot of those last season as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jack I’m never convinced he’ll get one, but think he’s more likely to score if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
