Marsh

[SwissBlade]

Don’t know how Wilder was, not seen him for a few days. Marsh was involved and looks to be a quality player. Assist, goal, hit bar. Possibly a bit lightweight and flits in and out of the game but seems to be given the licence to roam with Chesterfield so it’s difficult to know whether he’s wedded to any particular position. I would include him in the squad and introduce him gradually. He also does a nice line in buying fouls.

He played alright in a front three, took his goal well. Markanday certainly stood out for Chesterfield and they linked up well for Marsh’s goal.

Strange game though, neither side really stood out, Chesterfield better first half but they conceded second half, with Tranmere looking just as likely to get the second at 1-1, defensively Chesterfield looked suspect so the timing of Marsh’s goal made the difference and it opened the flood gates to put the game to bed.

Certainly seems a good decision to send Marsh to Chesterfield, he’s settled in well and doing alright there. It’s one of those loans which made a lot of sense and I’m sure Wilder will be happy that he’s getting good experience there this season

Unfortunately Marshy has picked up injuries on his previous loans, so his minutes and have been severely limited. This loan at Chessie is proving ideal for him.

Ah, being injured makes you forget how to pass, shoot and all that. My mistake

 

[parkblade]

Couple of things wrong in that post
We never received a £5 million bid for Cannon and Marsh is a long way from being able to play in the Championship
Otherwise spot on

I don't think Cannon is ready for the championship. Probably never has been.

Football intelligence not your strong point then? Being able to do the things you’ve listed in academy football is very different to the men’s game, a bit like learning to pass your driving test/driving everyday

Very good again. Constantly moving around and finding space across the front line. Highlighted by his goal. Now 6 goals in 8 apps for Chesterfield this season, a goal every 80ish mins.

He'll thrive for them until Jan, then we'll likely recall him and send him out to a L1 side for further experience.

What I don't get is, why isn't his "lack of physicality" an issue in that division? It's no slower or stronger. Thats not a moan at us btw, I just dont get why he seems too small in the Championship but its not an issue where he is

 

[Frank the tank]

If he's still learning how to play football at his age then maybe bring a professional isn't the job for him

Another goal...


... in division 4

Good on the lad.

He didn't stand out when called upon this pre season or cup games. But it's not to say he can't kick on.

You never know how a loan like this might grow him. He may just not have the quality or physically right but we've seen players go and get experience and come back over the years.

Maybe January might be good if he continues to impress.

He’s still only 22. He could probably do with a little bit more strength from watching him for chesterfield & to survive championship football he probably lacks a yard of pace.

He’s going to have a good league career though & another one you have to credit the academy for producing

Div 2 football is much slower than Champ football which is much slower than prem football

I don't think the league is what matters. More the way he's being utilised.

He's being played as a #10, with licence to drift all over the front line to find space. As such, he's not staying tight with one defender who can bully him with greater strength, and man-mark him out of a game.

I think he'd do a fine job at L1 or even Champ level if he were allowed the same degree of freedom. I think there's a level of validity in the comparisons to Duffy I've seen on here. He was phenomenal for us as a roaming attacking midfielder. Given the licence to wander across the pitch to find space and link attacks. Marsh is one who we'd find major value in were we to use in a similar manner (though with a greater focus on finishing off attacks rather than instigating them)

Just about to write the same. I would worry if he’d learnt everything there was to know by 22. As in any career, you should never stop learning

Someone should have really told Ian Wright, Jamie Vardy and Miroslav Klose about this

 

[Harry's Game]

Big player for us next season if we are in League 1

 

[Servigliano]

Saw match.
Marsh useless. No physical attributes whatsoever. Everything laid on a plate for him by the better Chessy players,
He only had I think 4 or 5 shots because Tranmere were inept.
Hit the bar when even I would have scored. The fact he sent 2 defenders the wrong way, completely immaterial. Then when Rovers tired got a lucky goal and an assist.
Get rid.
No way a No. 10. Just look at our recent ex one now excelling for Disney. A giant of a man nobody could ever knock off the ball.

With all due respect, bollocks

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I watched the highlights on Sky, seemed to be very involved in their best play.
Does look a bit physically stronger than I remember.

I don't know his contract situation but I'd be tempted to leave him out there. He's local, he's enjoying himself, he's finding his feet in senior football, confident. No need to disrupt it, we're not doing anything this season and it'd be a shame to see him wasted on our bench (thinking back to Jebbison and Osula).

Duffy’s career peak came right near the end. Excellent championship player for a couple of seasons.

The Duffy replacement. Bookmark this post.

 

[Lowen]

Never been given a real chance here, written off on the training ground. Will play a lot higher than league two once he finds his feet at pro level but think the key for Marsh is staying fit.

 

[Carlton Blade]

I think there's a very good chance that he's a better player than Ayew, BBD, Shackleton. That's the issue more than is he ready to start every Championship match

Which I don't think anybody is suggesting (although, in a dead season, it's not as if it is a bad idea)

I think the standard he's being held to to show he's 'not ready' is regular starter.

 

[GrayBlade]

He reminds me of Jack Clarke at the same age. I’m hopeful the lad will make the grade with us.

Jtc or whatever he calls himself. Not you Frank.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Remind me again how Seriki's loans went?

And how many games in the Championship Burrows had played?

As Carlton Blade says - Marsh would have much more upside coming on for Ayew, Shackleton, BBD.

Same with Curtis and Chong/Doherty.

We're not very good at this running a progressive football club malarkey are we?
