who do you bring on instead of Marquis?
Apart from the goal on a plate from Kaye ,Marquis got zero service from the flanks and only booted clearances in the second half to chase .Rather than target Marquis today I would question the lack of composure from the back .In terms of subs ....why persist on hoping Rowe will ever be influential .He does not control the ball in close quarters which when you are in midfield is wasteful for your forwards and dangerous for your defense.As far as Marquis is concerned , firstly he has 22 goals secondly he works his balls off and thirdly we dont have two centre forwards anyway.
Today ,,yes certainly ..who would you have put on ?
Marquis missed a game changing sitter today, not the first one lately, not be the last as he's got it in his head he can't be dropped or subbed. There was 2 possibly 3 times he was put in but didn't control it, then spun round giving Wilks and Copps some verbal instead of concentrating on the ball, he'd of been clean through in the box. I believe he needs a rest. Play Wilks up front and play it on the floor, like we can do.
I do not believe Marquis has got the idea he cannot be dropped ..he must have in his head why do the ful backs not get forward to cross the ball today and why did Downing and Anderson boot upfield instead of going through our midfield who may as well have stayed in the dressing room at half time.
Glad it's not just me. Marquis was terrible today. He should have been subbed. With the pace of Smith and Wilkes through the middle we'd have terrorised their lumps at the back.Instead kept pumping it to JM who miscontrolked it or ran into trouble and then blamed somebody else.
Does Marquis get subbed ?It seems we have no option to change the top three whilst he remains the unchangeable forward...and all we do is bring on a fresh support act....I like Marquis but when he ain’t on fire and missing chances he should be burying , then he should be subbed..I’m sure the regular “ Marquis is the leading scorer “ shite will be levelled has an argument , but there is no escaping the fact that if he ain’t in the game we are practically down to ten men...
My thoughts in terms of the slagging off of Marquis on this thread are ..when you look at the whole season should we not be keeping things in perspective .I would understand criticism of Marquis if it were contained to today’s miss but when supporters try to emphasise his misses I have to think what is special about our club that makes players want to be part of it ? The supportive fan base or the helpful advice they get from this forum lol .
You can’t win this argument!!

Not because he makes a mistake. He's made a big one today but he's capable of making up for it. McCann needs a realistic plan b before subbing Marquis. Whether that involves Wilks more central with two others flanking him, I'm not sure.
