CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thats why he's in the team, for those doubters. Absolutely bossed the midfield tonight, with all our attcking play starting from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Apart from one sloppy pass, he was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thats why he's in the team, for those doubters. Absolutely bossed the midfield tonight, with all our attcking play starting from him. I agree he was great tonight and very strong, with one very slight caveat, he lacks the pass to unlock defences in and around the 18 yard box IMO, tends to go for the sideways or back pass in that position.

Alessandro Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Agree - keep up that industry and work rate and all he needs to do is add goals to his game. He probably should have scored tonight, but getting into good positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheatus59 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 And the other 12 ?Lets hope this is the turning point for him then.He's been as good as anybody overall , get off his back and appreciate what he brings to the team . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Totally agree, superb performance, won a few important headers too.When him and Smith play like that our football is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 He gets the plaudits tonight as he performed in front of 10s of thousands of people on TV but I would just like to say that he was equally as good in front of 400 City fans at Ipswich last month.

Roe Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 He's been the most improved player for us this season by far imo. I rated him before and towards the back end of the season he grew into the team well, he's taken it to another level so far this campaign and has bossed the midfield in many games. Just a shame we haven't been able to get the results as a team to fully back it up. It'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I still doubt him overall. I thought he was very good tonight though. But I'm not gonna say he's ace on one or two games. There will be games in the future, as there have been already where he lets himself down in two areas:1) not overly quick against quick passing opponents2) no killer ballI forgive him the Hoddle balls, because I appreciate the headers. I don't mind the sideways (contradicts my second point I accept) passes, because that is how Cotts wants our attacks to be based around.He is your 6/10 man, not a bad thing, but if we could get a better player in, I'd prefer that. If we don't, then he performs a decent role for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1984 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I believe in Marlon. Stated in pre season my opinion is he will turn into a very good championship player. Yes he lacks a turn of pace and is prone to a few to many hollywood pass attempts but given time to adjust and gain experience at this level i truely believe he could flourish. Also think he has that defence splitting pass. Just a matter of when it clicks for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Packy does the nasty stuff well and seems to be quite good at subtly putting a foot in, keep it up Marlon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 His best performance in a city shirt. Missed a sitter, seemed to not keep his eye on the ball and hit his shoulder. Smith was the player that bossed the midfield but pack actually did a fine job along side him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 He's a good player and he's getting better. If he was a fraction quicker in his thinking he'd be top division player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I was worried going into this season that his lack of mobility would be dreadfully exposed this season, but he seems to have found a little bit more pace and found a way to play despite his shortcomings- he was very good last night.HOWEVER, I still feel that we need to bring in another body in central midfield and if we can bring someone of real quality in, I'd suggest he'll still be the man to make way. Harsh, but that's football I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Still think we need an extra body and extra competition for the 'defensive' midfielder role...I was a bit worried tonight with Pack, but he was incredible.Can he keep that up every well though?

Jackhh Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 so Pack has to start scoring and making killer passers whiles doing his defensive duties. Surely we should be looking at smith and freeman to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Pack is one of the most underrated in the team. Seems to be whatever defensive type midfielder we get in whether it be Pack, Little Lee or Skuse, they always become the most over scrutinised players in the team.Always good in the air, can put a tackle in, showed yesterday he can marshal people out of play and has a good shot on him. Keep it going Marlon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARBOY79 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Great game from pack, quailty player will only get better, especially under COTTS he's a fantastic manager, can't believe people were asking if we should sack him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very next thing he does is give the ball away! So this thread is the last time I'm going to say anything positive about him in the hope that will cut out the odd mistake!!

BS30 Reds Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'm not packs biggest fan but always try to defend him because I think people just jump on the bandwagon to have a go. Pack on the ball and in the air he is getting better every game and starting a very good partenership with Korey. The only thing that still worries me is runners off of Pack at least once a game does a midfielder run off the back of him with out him realising. Once he cuts this out he can be the player we all want him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thought he was much better last night than I've seen him in the last few games. Still think he has a long way to go. Just wish he would put Kodj in earlier, few times last night he saw the run and gap and didn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Personally think he is a decent player. Seems to get the same grief as Skuse, sideway passes, doesn't score enough etc etc. controlled the game well last night imo. Does lack a bit of pace on the turn I would agree. But his passing and willingness to get on the ball should not be overlooked. Especially when you're team is struggling for results. In fact I could say that about the whole team, which says a lot about their character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 MOM for me: he was involved in almost every action, and played welle defensively too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
