marbelladave Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 There is no doubt that Marshall showed considerable promise when he first arrived but has failed to develop from there. Arguably he has gone backwards from there, why I have no idea. If he has health issues of one sort or another then that might be an explanation but if not...... I could point out that creative players have not fared well under the Pearson regime, Gallagher and Gradel come to mind and now Marshal, Schlupp and possibly Knockaert seem to be falling well behind expectations. Bit of a pattern, I think.
Bert Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Maybe you should go and watch him sometime.I do. Rarely miss a game so I watch him when he plays.
iamafox Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Stupid to talk about him leaving when there's nothing official about it.
johnny the fox Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 It seems as though there are many excuses made by people for Marshall. 'Hes unfit', 'he's ill' etc... I have no idea whether these are true or not. What I do know is that we signed a young player, full of promise and superb for his first few games, to someone who now doesn't feature much and who seems to be a shadow of his former self when he does play. What I suspect is that Pearson perhaps realises he signed a player who isn't as good as he and most of us thought. If Marshall is going to develop into a good player, he needs to do so soon. If not, he'll find himself moving down the order (and the divisions) pretty quickly. Im sick and tired of everybody metaphorically poking through a players stool, looking for some pathetic excuse why the precious mite can't or won't perform..fook me, aren't these people supposed to be "professional" grown up men? how would they survive in the real world..

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Too much blowing hot and cold. No consistency.
kingfox Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 We let the talented Franck Moussa go, then got in players like Ben Marshall. Says it all really.
Finn Claw II Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 If it's a confidence problem then send him out on loan. Given we have Knocky and Gally who can also offer us something more creative going forward I think we have the cover.
bald reynard Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 We let the talented Franck Moussa go, then got in players like Ben Marshall. Says it all really. Yes - Moussa is one of a long list of players who have not been given a fair chance under Pearson, who have gone on to do well for the clubs they moved to. I never understood why he wasn't given more opportunities - he always showed up well in the few games he had for us.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 We let the talented Franck Moussa go, then got in players like Ben Marshall. Says it all really. I cried when I heard Moussa left , poor Franck rotting in an abysmal team who look on the brink of going into extinction.
kingfox Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I cried when I heard Moussa left , poor Franck rotting in an abysmal team who look on the brink of going into extinction. He is like there best player, and banging in the goals. Nicky Adams and Michael Morrison as well, were let go too early.

Sorry but I don't buy this all the time. What about doctors, pilots, air traffic contollers etc that work under real pressure everyday, and have to make life changing decisions. Do you not think these people get immediate feedback? Getting booed or whatever as a footballer is part and parcel of the game. Yeah it must be horrible for them when it's their own fans, but that's life, and at the end of the day there is a reason fans show why they are unhappy.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Nicky Adams and Michael Morrison as well, were let go too early. No they weren't.
Lambert09 Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Franck Moussa is just a poor mans Neil Danns. Fans like them because they chip in with goals but overall they dont have enough quality.

LCFC FOX Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Franck Moussa is shite There is a reason hes playing for Coventry
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I heard that he came out as gay or something and 'wasnt in the right mental state'

I bet if surgeons carried out operations with 20,000 armchair surgeons watching them, they would make a LOT more errors!
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I heard that he came out as gay or something and 'wasnt in the right mental state' I thought after I caught both of you in the toilets on brauny park we all swore not to say anything about him being gay?
scotty1980 Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I hope the lad does leave after reading this shit on here, are you real football fans or just a bunch of kids who play on the park with your mates and think you know about football?
