bcfctim Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Usually it's the obligatory Korey Smith thread but for me Pack stole the show today - outstanding performance. Got absolutely everywhere, a beast in the air and commanded the middle of the park all game. So composed on the ball as well, none of the lapses in concentration losing the ball in our half, in fact I can't remember him giving it away once. Even the odd hollywood pass was coming off! Brilliant display today, getting better with every passing game and today was as good as I've seen him play. That's a good midfield at this level they've got in McDonald and Coady and he bossed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Was great today - guys around me still refuse to give him any credit whatsoever. Wierd really. Heartily applauded a Smith tackle that ultimately sacrificed possession though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he screamed like a girl 2nd half infront of the Dolman at the slightest tough on his calf. Idiot. Oh, plus the ref bought it. Idiot again.

BobBobSuperBob Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Not been MPs biggest fan but has definitely improved in last 4/5 games and was decent again tonight well done Marlon Thought KIeron Agards work was invaluable tonight too Baker - Rock Solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to give him a whack but we got the win and that'll suffice. Marlon was outstanding and he's really adapted to this league. I'm happy for him. I was a big critic early on but he plays a much simpler game now and it suits him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Come the end of this season, Marlon Pack is going to be one hell of a Championship midfielder. Next year he'll take some stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have the odd poorer game of course, but he's looking far superior to the player from early season against Sheff Wed, Brentford say. Adapting to the higher level very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 He was very good tonight. Trouble is you don't know which Marlon is going to turn up before each game! Probably the worst player on Saturday. Just consistency to perform well on a regular basis. He's got it about him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly poor first half, like a comedy of errors. But he kept going, never hid, and improved hugely in the 2nd.. That's why he'll keep his place.

mozo Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Agreed, Pack was tireless and classy. We needed Bobby Reid on for Freeman, but we know that Cotts rejects obvious subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Couldn't make the game tonight but i am pleased for Pack after all the grief he has got. Marlon is a all rounder in our midfield he can do a bit of everything but his biggest assist is his strength, he wins so many 50/50s and holds players off....we would miss him if he wasn't in the team. Saying that we do need some cover for Marlon and Korey in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Freeman looked drunk first half and just couldn't do anything right...much better 2nd but still not really affecting the game like he would want to. Pack was OK but Korey still miles ahead for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Pack my MOTM this evening, which is impressive bearing in mind other noticeable performances, Baker and Kodjia. He has improved / adapted. Tonight he influenced the game. You can't always say that. Outshone Korey tonight. You can't always say that either. Ive said a few times that I would like a better player in there for Marlon to become the squad player, but if he keeps playing like tonight, then he could save us a fortune. Lets hope he keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I think people don't appreciate Pack because he fulfills a fairly unglamorous role in the team. But - with a few exceptions - his accurate passing was on show tonight. Who provides more through balls? No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
