southvillekiddy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Really impressed with Marlon on the Highlights, looks so much more accurate, positive and athletic than when he came to us. Really crisp, intelligent interplay with Korey and then really moving down the middle to set JET up for the second. For my sins I remember posting that he moved around like a bag of cement when I saw him at Swindon last season. Looks like the whole team are now getting off on being quick and fit.

I BELIEVE Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 He was very good last night, contender for motm, pinging them left right and centre all night. I like him, ideal replacement for Wade when he needs a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 With JET now back in form, it is telling that a lot of either inconsistent or unimpressive players from the previous season have really kicked on. Great to see and another reason to be thankful for SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hardly rubbish, bit inconsistent, I'd say. Just like his first team opportunities (inconsistent). Think he's a good player and could be a longer term partner for Korey Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 He would start ahead of wade Elliott for me, him and Korey smith are perfect together with Jet & freeman both playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Queen Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Sorry I thought he was our worst player last night. The break for JETs goal was one of the few moments of quality.. his work rate & in particular his positional sense is awful. A number of times he was stationary and lost his runner. He fails to do the basic defending when the opposition is running at him. He either stands off or gives away a silly free kick for shirt pulling. I'm really hoping he improves as he's still got time on his side but to me he wouldn't cut in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Elliot more forward thinking for me, Without doubt, however with JET and freeman both in the side I think the pairing of pack and smith makes us more balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 This is typical. Now who am I supposed to blame for everything? To be honest, since Lee Johnson left, our transfer policy has failed to deliver a clear and consistent scapegoat. Complete farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince1994 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 He's the new Cole Skuse. 50% thinks he's good; 50% thinks he's poor. Also like Skusey when he is good he is very good. And when he is bad... Just needs to pick uo his consistency like others have said and he will be a very useful player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Very underrated in my opinion, with regular games and some confidence he will only get better. He does so many things that go unnoticed by many fans that i think he gets too much of a hard time, he has all the attributes to be a very decent Championship midfielder. Believe in Marlon!

redcherryberry Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Without doubt, however with JET and freeman both in the side I think the pairing of pack and smith makes us more balanced. Exactly this but that would mean changing to a flat back four which I dont think will happen anytime soon. Great pro is Marlon. Its hard to find any consistency when your in & out of the team. He was loved at Nam & everything went through him. Hes had to do bide his time here but there's much more to come from him. 23 experienced & can play. Get him signed up ASAP!

RedRock Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Got to say that was a corker of a corner he delivered for the first goal last night. I like him. Like other squad members who were written off, he seems to be responding well to the Cotts Magic formula. Credit to Cotts he certainly knows how to improve fringe players.

City1984 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I thought he had a very decent game. I think the fact that his contribution is not always significantly noticeable compared to some could be the reason that he divides opinion but he has his role in the team and can only see him getter better. He is never going to be the fastest but he will learn to take better positions and make better decisions. If Marlon Pack is the worst midfielder in our squad then it just shows how far we have come.

red84 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I like Pack, only been down the gate a couple of times this season but having seen him against bradford he got us out of jail a lot that night and his all round game has improved. He would be ahead of Elliott IMO if JET/Freeman are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
