Lanterne Rouge Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 He never let us down when called upon and has been harshly treated by some fans - more as a way of getting at LJ for signing him rather than Marley himself IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 People, particularly kids and middle aged men on Twitter, found it too easy to use him as a scapegoat. In reality he was dependable when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An internationalist is to the Jocks what we call an international. Using that term used to rile me when I edited the sport for Herald Scotland. As for Watkins, a complete waste of a million and a wage. High work-rate, low quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew me Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Good business all round... He will play, learn and hopefully come back a better player, or increase in value.

Lew-T Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Always thought he looked more than ‘okay’. Never let us down but for some reason our fanbase never took to him. Hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliftonCliff Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 His time here reflects badly on the club, rather than the player - and on some OTIB members, too, for that matter. Good luck to the bloke. A better player than he’s been given credit for. His team mates knew him for a good pro, even if the usual culprits on the forum were incapable of recognising the fact, which, depressingly, surprises no-one.

He is solid enough and will do well in SPL Really? By the time his loan finishes, he’s have 5 months left on his contract. I like the guy, never let us down, but even if we sold him in January, I suspect we would do well to get any fee, and probably accept he’s off our wage bill. I just don’t think now he’s gone on loan, that he has any transfer value in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 It didn't work out for him here for whatever reason, however he showed flashes at times. Loan to Aberdeen, option to buy or season long given contract expires next summer? He started not so badly here. In terms of respectable squad player I mean, 2 goals in first 2 months- but for woodwork at Rotherham it'd be 3. Injuries didn't help, but with both us and Norwich he was never able to get close to his Barnsley 2016/17 season. A season which was at this level and contained 17 goals or assists- can't remember of it was 10 and 7 or vice versa but in a decent Barnsley side. Take a look through that side. Bree, Marc Roberts, Yiadom, Hourihane, Winnall to name 5! Sold Bree, Hourihane and Winnall mid January 2017 to ultimately scupper their playoff push. There's a reason why Norwich were interested in him back in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
