Ayew or Marsh?

I think it's hilarious how certain posters like GeorgeDonis1889 don't understand the term 'technical' footballer

Just another goal for Marsh yesterday in a loan spell that's doing his confidence the world of good, while we're paying an OAP 20 odd k a week to come off the bench, not be a goal threat and tire after 3 minutes.

Marsh is, by a distance, the most technically gifted attacker we've brought through the youth setup bar the obvious superstar at Man City. Bags of energy, bags of talent and despite being slight he finds pockets of space allover the pitch.

Ayew is 35, coming off the back of 2 relegations, has never scored double figures in his career, and put into an unfit, slow and lethargic team with no energy is the complete antithesis of what we need in the team right now.

Wilder's talk of 'needing experience' as a reason for signing Ayew just makes absolutely no sense to me and is a huge reason why I think he's done for. All he's signed is experienced past it has beens or never beens, the young players we have ARE experienced. The only one that isn't is on loan from Brentford and happens to be our best player

He doesn't like bringing youth through, he doesn't trust them. But if Marsh leaves the club without having a proper run in the team or chance to prove himself it would be the biggest damning indictment on both the manager and coaching staff yet. He has everything you'd want from a deep lying forward/number 10 at this level. He's basically a young Bamford, and it's crazy that we haven't just had him as his understudy for the season...

I think sending marsh out was akin to the sliding doors moment we had with Brooks' cancelled loan to Chrsterfield.

We are crying out for someone to link midfield to attack. Unfortunately we chose to loan. We were still in the cup too and opportunity to integrate him was there.

Ayew is technically a footballer. But not really

From what I've seen of Marsh, he's going to be a L1/L2 player

Thats the standard of quite a few of our 'older' players

Just as I predicted. A couple of underwhelming sub appearances and then gets injured.

Probably doesn’t help when we’ve got Harold Shipman doing the medicals.

Ayew being injured just demonstrates what a waste of a signing he was, if One is fit after the break, it'll be a choice between him and Campbell for who makes the bench (an easy choice for anyone who doesn't love unfit old guys). An extra stiker was completely superfluous and just takes up wages and a squad place.

I like Marsh but with such a bloated squad he wouldn't have been making the bench most weeks so letting him go out makes sense, although if we'd developed him better in the past few seasons he should have been a backup to O'Hare who was ready to step up by now.

I'm afraid Wilder is just making too many mistakes. Ayew, Doherty and Choudhury signings, Campbell contract extension. He's crippling the club and his job is quickly becoming untenable.

It's worrying that no one in a position of power is saying no to these signings.

Ohh ffs he’s injured now , you couldn’t make it up !

But maybe you can old players aren’t as fit , we have asked for it really it’s a percentage game and we’re always getting it wrong

 

[b1ade4life]

Apparently he can only now play 9 minutes instead of 10

Admittedly I've only ever seen Marsh play in the daft cup games... but... at 22yo, id say there's probably a reason he's never played at a higher level than League 2.

For comparison, Tom Cannon was a full international at 21.

Marsh has played for England U20 at youth level (and scored) and it’s a lot harder to break into the senior England team than that of the Republic.

I’m not saying he is as developed as Cannon but I’m not sure mentioning their international prowess is a fair barometer.

I’m also not clear that Marsh playing one game out on the left is a fair means to assess him. But pointless in fact.
