The last thing we need is Marriott hitting his stride. It'd be another example of the EFL's (cancelling his contract extension) causing us direct harm 

If the league allowed us to extend the contracts of Marriott, Waghorn and Wisdom, we would have avoided breaching P&S rules for the 17/18-20/21 period ?

He was an idle sod when training...ask Sheff Wed and the lbs he put on, He'd sooner play golf and socialise with his mates, Turned up late to training I was told that's why he didn't play in the Play off final...attitude problem, Fergusson back at Peterboro didn't want him

Regardless of any off-field/training issues, he can't really play up front on his own, so he's always going to be difficult to fit into a team nowadays.  Even when he was doing that for us, we were sort of playing a front 2 with Waghorn drifting centrally from wide-right.  If you're going to play a traditional front 2, there's probably a player in there somewhere, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

I thought jack was decent. Shame his career has gone so down hill

He was the footballing equivalent of the NBA stars who had their talent taken by the monstars in Space Jam whenever he was outside of the box. Couldn't run, dribble, pass, shoot or control it, until he was in the box.

Didn't he have an injury he never really recovered from? Seem to remember Cocu saying something about it hurting him to just kick the ball with any force.

We never know these things but I think there was a long standing groin issue (behave 🤣) You can see how that would limit him, I remember having a hernia / pull there, you just can’t press the loud peddle but you don’t know until you have to.
I liked him, cocky sod, but you need em like that sometimes and that Leeds game was pure magic. He’ll always get a big clap from me.
