Re: John Marquis
Maybe the problem was asking him to hit a cow’s arse from stuck out on the right wing.

Re: John Marquis
Exactly this, why sign a striker to play out wide. Seemed bizarre at the time and proven so since.Bottomley’s Ghost wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 12:33 pm Maybe the problem was asking him to hit a cow’s arse from stuck out on the right wing.

Re: John Marquis
True this - if we really are pursuing him. Sadly we didn’t give Marquis a decent chance with us - like many other loanees.
He’s proved himself at this level with other clubs.

Re: John Marquis
Marquis was played out of position on the wing. To be fair, some players do turn their careers around with a change of club, etc, its how it goes. AS I recall he did not cut the mustard either at his own club of Millwall and I think If i remember right, that when he came to the Os, he came with a record of getting rather too many yellow and red cards ?
Of course I stand corrected if I am wrong on that last point !!
