1960maaan Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Not sure how I was supposed to end the heading, fact or end of ? you get the gist . I've liked him for some time but he has improved year on year, along similar lines to how Flint improved. He has always had more to his game than 'just' a holding MF but even now and then he comes up with a pass that shows his vision, like today.

Love how he disguises those through balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Pack does the same job that Cole Skuse did and equally as well but back then some posters simply didn’t rate CS. I wonder if they now rate Pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Was a superb pass. I really rate Marlon....but guilty in second half (only saw a few minutes of first half) of hitting two many long balls out to our left wing that didn’t find their target. Imho, he just needed to keep playing the shorter ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho, he just needed to keep playing the shorter ball. I agree , keep it simple, keep it moving, and find a Red shirt. Worked for Wade Elliot. I think some, or a lot of the problem is lack of movement in front of him, when we are playing well and people are showing it is a lot easier. There are periods during games , for whatever reasons, that the options are limited. I'd like to see Eisa and Weimann paring up front (not sure who would drop off), I think the movement could be really good , then it makes it easier for others.

tts_city Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Pack had a great game that slide rule pass for wieman was outstanding, best bit of business we did all summer was get him on another contract, without him I would fear for us this season.

I wonder if they now rate Pack? Well I’m one of those who didn’t rate Skuse and yet I totally rate Pack. To your untrained eye all you see is a deep-lying midfielder and say that they do the same job. That’s nonsense and Pack is a far far far more superior footballer than Skuse ever was. That pass from Pack today has never been in Skuse’s locker. Only thing Skuse had over Pack was a bit of pace - though Skuse tended to never use that ability and meandered or trotted his way about for 90 mins. They do completely different jobs. Just because they operate in the same area of the pitch does not make them similar players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Go to 2:40 not the first or last time we will see him produce that quality. As said above he keeps improving, and I'm glad he's getting more appreciation from our fan base than he did previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Simple bit of movement from Weimann to trigger the pass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My awareness of the beautiful game comes from decades of froth playing and watching. If im trying to understand a particular player’s role, I tend to specifically watch them ahead of the rest of the team. That’s how I came to appreciate CS and more recently Pack. Both excellent footballers, both able to protect the defensive. Skuse tho quicker than Pack lacks the ability to nick a goal once in a while as Pack does. As I posted before, they’re very similar in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 @Harry Will tell you all I have never been his biggest fan, but I have to say last week apart from a dodgy 10/15 minutes at the start of the 2nd half last week and a couple of misplaced passes passes today he has been terrific IMHO, he looks the part in every way shape and form, just a pity he doesn't have somebody who is more creative alongside him.

Ian Crabbe Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 No comparison between the two,went to Ipswich last year and reckon Skuse passed the ball about 40 times but only 10 feet forward,same could never be said about Marlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Marlon has a better all round game. He is more consistent as well; can't remember the last game that passed him by, unlike Skuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
