I understand that the jury is still out on Marsh at right back and as he probably won't be here next season it doesn't matter, but one thing I have noticed about him and for which, I think he deserves credit, is that considering how small he is (he's virtually a midget), he is very strong. He tackles really hard and is not easy to push off the ball. Not only is he small but he looks slight and I wonder how it is that he is so strong. Perhaps others could learn from him.

If he's being loaned out to league two then it's possible spurs could release him in the summer.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:09 pm**

I have a feeling we might see him in an Orient shirt again next season.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:21 pm**

Booked again last night , is he close to a suspension ??

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:22 pm**

He's not a bad header of the ball either

It is possible his low centre of gravity helps him to deal with robust challenges...

"He's virtually a midget"

Very funny that

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:35 pm**

Vertically a midget would have dwarfed it.

I think he is ultra solid at RB, been banging the drum for months for him to play there, I think the role suits him perfectly at this level

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 3:52 pm**

I’ve notice that. Looks like one of those who would be easy to bowl over but actually feels like he’s made of stone.

He put two, much bigger, players on their ars* yesterday.

I’ve also noticed that he is able to successfully execute some of the dark arts. Examples include booting the ball directly at a player who was obstructing a free kick and a well timed nudge in the back of a striker who he was never going to out jump. He seems a smart footballer.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 4:21 pm**

Didn't seem so smart when he let his winger come inside him on Saturday and resulted in their goal. Nor when the winger tore past him and set up their best chance last night.

If we don't think Judd (or Ling) is the answer at right back, then get rid of one of them and go and get another right back. A proper right back.

If we don't think Marsh is the answer at DCM, then go and get someone who is (cough Cisse cough).

I'm sure that Marsh will, in time, be a very competent L2 midfielder. He's only 21, he will continue to improve. But let's not try and fit square pegs in round holes or whatever the saying is.

I’d definitely want us to try and keep him . I don’t know if he prefers CM but he’s proving to be a very good RB . Easily better than both Ling and Judd

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 5:12 pm**

Still think his best position is in the middle alongside clay and Cisse, don’t know what Judd has to do to get a start

Sign for a club where he isn’t competing against the DOFs son?

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 6:07 pm**

Of course, it will be down to spurs whether he's with us next season. That's the long and the short of it.

Marsh is better at right back than ling and Judd put together and I would be happy to see him right back for the rest of the season.

I’m so confused why you support orient RED man or whateva your name is. All you do is slag of the players. Why don’t you go and support West Ham and do us all a favour you dark cloud.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:14 pm**

Can’t I pick a better club than West Ham?

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 7:56 pm**

Judd is by far the best right back we have at the club, but he has to fight manfully against something out of his control to get picked.

Pity.

Fair enough that part was out of line.

I can think of at least three players I'd rather have at right back than Judd and that doesn't even include our first choice right back.

Marsh has spent much of his youth career as a right back so it's not really a square peg.

It's possible for players to change positions, or play positions they might otherwise not to play at a higher level.

Jason Demitriou and Moses Odubajo come to mind.

He is under contract until 2021 at Spurs.

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:21 pm**

One of our better full backs Kevin Dickinson wasn't exactly a colossus either

Posted: **Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:29 pm**

Haven`t seen enough of Judd, but I think Marsh has been better than our other right-backs this season. Would be great if we can keep him.

Posted: **Thu Feb 13, 2020 12:22 am**

Matty Joseph was one of the best we've had and he was a similar height. That being said I remember how TT used to take advantage of a short full back with Andy Arnott out wide.
