Derbados Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Wouldn’t it be ironic that he’s moved to Sheff Wednesday and becomes ultra prolific, to a point where they overtake us in the league! Understand why he needs to go though, just doesn’t fit Cocus style would be so Derby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltRam Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 2 years of Marriott and I'm nowhere near convinced he's got anything to offer. Hapy to let him go. All about the replacement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Marriott's ever been 'clinical', mostly due to the type of shots he takes on. A high percentage are usually first time efforts from awkward angles. However, his minutes per goal ratio is good (when fully fit) due to the high number of shots he takes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We'll be back in 81 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Marriott will score loads of goals if he plays in a two up front, which has not been the case here. I thought when we play with wing backs that would enable us to have played two up top and play the wingers in the normal formation. With the amount of games this season it would be ideal to be able to switch formations for different games and use fresh players. (2 games a week every week until the season end).

Ambitious Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Imagine if we let him go and then don't sign Wilson? Although, saying that, Colin Kazim Richards has been brought in because Marriott can't do his job to a good enough standard. It's an utterly sad state of affairs, considering how good Marriott has been at times. A 34 year old that lost his place for a no-mark team in Mexico has been seen as the prefered option to Marriott going forward because he seemingly can't get his head right. Tragedy.

Uptherams Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I hope he finds his feet again. But I think a move is best. Ingram and Duncan are ready to fill that Marriott role as things stand. If Marriott was firing, I wouldn't say that, but he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Genuinely can't understand how some people would be accepting of this? We needed a striker in even with Marriott here. Get rid of him and we need another. We've bought in a journeyman striker from the back end of Mexico. Who has scored more 10 goals in a season once in his 16 year career. To have our striking options as Rooney, Waghorn and Kazim-Richards would be suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 So that’ll leave us with Turkish Colin and his 4 goals a season and Waggy as our striking options? Well that’s so ducking stupid it’s exactly what Derby will do ? it’s nailed on folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Depends on the money Wednesday are plonking us for him. We don't suit what he does well with how we set up, so I can see the sense in it. I'll be a little sad, particularly as he had injury issues, but we'll always have Leeds second leg.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Maybe we're still in for another striker? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Duncan is a striker in a similar mould to Jack and I'd guess that he has a much higher potential and is probably close enough to Jack's skill level now, or even better than him. I know he was "signed for the under 23's" but what other Under 23 player have we signed and done a full video interview and social media hype with? I expect Duncan might be first choice by the end of the season or at least be a mainstay in the match day squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhillram Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We need goal scorers, so we get rid of any we do have. Doesn’t make any sense, JM will come good and consistent at some point. I was hoping it would be with the Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with his head, Cocu just doesn't utilise him properly or play to his strengths. You can't ask him to drop deep and hold up the ball because he's just not that sort of player. I'm very disappointed because I'm certain if we played to his strengths we would have a top striker on our hands. Absolute disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 "Jack Marriott doesn't fit our system" Who's system would he fit, though? I can't see a place for him in many Championship teams tbh "We don't play to his strengths" Which strengths are those? I can only really name one major strength and a whole lot of average!? He's not particularly quick, isn't strong or persistent in chasing down defenders, he can't hold it up, he has no physical presence against an opposition defender, he can't 'face up' to the opposition and run at players, he won't be heavily involved in passing moves or draw opposition players away to create space for others. How many Championship teams play in a way where their strikers sole responsibility is to run in behind the opposition & onto through-balls or getting onto crosses (but only crosses from deep)? Broadly speaking he's a League One standard footballer with upper Championship level finishing, but his own movement to get into the space to score is no better than decent. He's Adam Le Fondre, but not as good - he could play a bit part at any level and bag a few goals but I can't see him being an automatic starter in many teams.
