I cannot believe the stick he gets for a rare off colour performance - he is the talisman of the team, his energy levels are incredible, he’s remarkably fit & never stops running and chasing down defenders - the question was posed in a previous thread about why he never gets subbed - I will tell you why, it would only benefit the other teams back line as they wouldn’t be under persistent and constant harrying from JM they ie the defenders would love it if JM was ever subbed because his all action style forces defenders into making mistakes and thus helping us score goals. Rarely have we had a striker who can do what Marquis does eg holding the ball up magnificently and still weighs in with 20+ goals a season, he is the complete striker at this level & any other side in our league would take him and I’m sure some Championship clubs will be thinking about making us an offer come the summer - I tell you what if he does move on at the end of this season, people will come on here moaning how we need a striker who can bag goals and hold the ball up as well JM does both & he does it very well
Can somebody tell how many assists Marquis has ? Because I doubt it’s that many as he waists too many opportunities.

How many assists has he created this season ? Eh how's wasting an opportunity relate to an assist? I reckon he'll be in our top 5 for assists which isn't bad at all when combined with goals.
There's 3 playing up front. Just ask yourself who scores anywhere near as many as JM. We shouldn't even be discussing it.
Good luck to the Rovers fans who moan about him. I don't want to hear a word from any of them when we lose Marquis and can't replace him with someone with that same scoring rate and work rare as a centre forward. He is irreplaceable and I can't see a forward in the EFL that we would realistically be able to sign that is as good or effective as him.

ALL supporters LOVE him but he is frustrating to watch him work like a horse all over the pitch to keep us going forward but let’s HIS own chances go begging TOO often . It isn’t that people moan him were tarring our hair out for HIM !!
I've never criticised Marquis before, either on here or at a match, and am thankful that he plays for us.I think the majority of posts yesterday, mine included, we're directed purely on his performance on the day. He was poor, it obviously wasn't his day, he could do little right and therefore he should have been substituted in the second half when our game plan wasn't working and Scunny were getting on top.A different approach was needed up front, we needed pace to get behind them and maybe taking him off and putting Wilkes and/or Smith in the middle might have worked better.

He should have 100 by now if he wasn't secure in the knowledge that he'll never be substituted.
