hippy273 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Has got back into his zone for me, I lost count the amount of tackles he made. Given JET had to come back a couple of times to help out but for me he didn't get enough praise, credit where credit is due. Also seems a little weird that Marv and Lee Johnson were a strong city midfield a matter of seasons ago, Marv still being on the pitch against his side. What a crazy thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thought he was terrible throughout and should have been dragged off when Reid did. Get rid ASAP for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Needs to be moved on at the end of the season. In no way the same player of 3/4 seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thats funny I thought he was terrible, was like having 10 players on the pitch. Still can't trap a ball, still can't pass a ball - but has mastered the art of the headless chicken to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Agree with the above - difficult to tell he was even on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I thought he tripped over the ball more times than he passed it, give him his due he did guide a header into the path of one of out players yesterday. So maybe ole 50p shaped head gets lucky sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Admit his passing isn't the greatest, but he is still the rock in midfield. Made about 2 headers and a block all game. Looks lost and has no positional sense at all. Makes others around him work twice as hard to cover his lack of awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Marlon Pack had to muck in for each other, He saw more of the ball than in previous games i felt and even tackled 2 players one after the other at one point.

Eco Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thought he was industrious yesterday, along with the whole team really. I was quite pleased with the endeavour shown by all 11, creativity, JET apart, lacking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Odd. I thought he was decent and put himself about. I guess people conveniently choose to ignore the couple of long cross field passes he made. Honestly the bloke really doesn't deserve the shit he gets on here.

hippy273 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Might be a thought to put marv in centre back pairing now as he can tackle and head but thats it. He does not have to head to anyone just forward. Keep his game simple too much quick thinking needed for midfield and sadly technique is another of marvs missing ingrediants, but he is still a tryer and after all this is only the third div an international with a good coach behind he him should be ok. That's what i was thinking, he isn't particularly pacey but he is very good at tackling and his positioning isn't bad because of his headers on the ball. His passing judgement is what lets him down.

Taylor10 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 When Marv has been missing due to injury, international duty or whatever reason I have always felt we have needed him and his battling qualities. I know he can't pass but due to our current plight I would always think he is the sort of character we need. Sadly he hasn't been very effective for us at all. I love Marv but I feel his time with us may well be up now. He just doesn't seem to be able to impose himself on games anymore by breaking up the play or with his drive and physical presence.

Totally agree with you on this, Elliot does not deserve the rubbish he gets on here. May not be the player he was but always gives 100%. Thought he was decent also.

Did everything including tracking back... yesterday as already posted played some good cross field long passes and got stuck in. May not have the legs but still runs his heart out.
