Terry Hennessy Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 14 minutes ago, Raminphilippines said: Agree to the point I am glad to see Marriott go, apart from the odd match he has done very little. When he first came to Derby I had high hopes but he just has not made the grade. I really struggle to understand why many love him so much. I think you're right. We can remember some gems he's scored - but by and large he never quite lived up to expectations - both for Lampard and Cocu. Yes he may flourish under another system. We do keep his registration and of course we have a recall in January if needed. It's up to the other players like Duncan, Stretton, Whitaker, JHI, Waghorn, Lawrence et al to step up. I think we also feel a bit let down by what he could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess, just have to hope we get some money for him next summer/ January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBee Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Perhaps Rooney is now viewed as a striker. Kazim-Richards may have been training with us but he won't be match fit yet surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Lost a striker who simply doesn’t score for us but is allegedly expensive. Signed him up for an extra year so he retains some value to us if he leaves and impresses. Yes it’d have been a dream to have another striker come in but let’s not act like it’s not otherwise been a pretty positive transfer window. Byrne is the best signing we’ve made in years on cost and value for what we’re getting he’s already brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The club probably know that we won’t be troubling the top 6 this season and think that we have enough to stay up hence are happy to save some money. I think not having fans in the stadium will probably help as well when the series of inevitable disappointments occur. It will relieve the pressure that will have inevitably built. Not being able to go makes it less real for me and I can feel myself losing some interest. I wonder if football will truly recover from this period. On a brighter note,Mel Sage should be fit soon.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 5 games this season. we have scored two goals. Two. One was a wonder free kick. We have got rid of the man who scored the other. Not a decision filling me with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Bris Vegas calling him a dud doesn't seem so daft now. In fact Bris has often been spot on but because he rubbed people up the wrong way he was openly mocked. Marriott won't be missed imo. He wasn't available enough and when he did spare us some of his free time he wasn't good enough to hold down a place. We've seen glimpses of promise from Bennett, Steve Davies and Chris Porter. Eventually the injuries and being unable to settle in a team stops being an excuse and sums up the player you are. He wasn't bad and at times it looked promising. But he's been pretty useless. Mostly because he was never on the pitch. Good luck to him and Sheffield Wednesday are going to have to do a magic trick to make him anything like the deadly poacher he was meant to be.
