Marcus Marshall...

Quoted from Kymariner12

I think we have to realise that not every signing this summer will be 'amazing' and we need players like Marshall to provide competition. To be fair to him he was great on his day and here's hoping he can perform this season. Craig Clay for example didn't initially excite me but turned out to be a quality signing. Trust in Hurst!B-)

I think your right BUT isn't the argument that if we are only signing 4 or 5 surely they have to be amazing.....

It seems odd that we've signed a player that the fans already know a lot about!

There's not much mystery in this signing, so perhaps that's why some fans feel underwhelmed about it.

I think it's a good signing. He's not an unknown player who has been plucked from nowhere, and Hurst only wants players who have the right attitude. I can only presume that Hurst knows he'll fit in well here.

He's got pace and a bit of skill, and so between him, Monkhouse, Mackreth and Arnold I think we have very capable wingers for next season.

We know what Marcus can bring to the party , the ability to change the system .  Good to have him on board,  versatile which is what we needed . Whether starting or from the bench,  good signing .

The day of their beer fesitival!! Ran out of beer by 2pm iirc

Hence why I missed the goal....

As a player, i hated him when he was here.

Just like i couldn't stand Brodie, and many others.

Lets hope he does a lot better

Thinking about this a bit more now, it could be that Hurst has learned a lesson from last August where we started off with barely a full side because of injuries and suspensions. In Marshall he has a player he knows and who knows him and so can slot in easily when needed.

Not a signing to tear up any trees but it could be part of a belt and braces job by the manager.

I agree with you.  He could be a good signing for us.  Welcome back to BP, Marcus.

Lincoln fans can say what they want, we're still gonna finish above them this season.

He had enough skill, but like most wingers was inconsistent and you did not know what he would do next.  Unfortunately, neither did his team-mates some of the time.

He needs to be more aware of where his team-mates are and when to release the ball.

He is young enough to improve and can at least beat his man, sometimes twice. I remember in one home game he dribbled right across the pitch.

Hurst must see that he is a player thana will improve the team or squad.  He is usually a good judge of a player.  Maybe coming on with 20 mins left and offering something different against a tired fullback?

  

I seem to remember that in the play-off games against Newport that season, he was our main threat, even though they were doubling up on him down that side. Certainly enough potential there to be a useful player even if as just an impact sub.

I know we have to take rival fans comments with a pinch of salt but when they are so unanimous it can't all be completely dismissed. Don't get me wrong, I hope he does well, but the Lincoln fans opinions of him match up exactly with what most of us thought of him about 2 hours ago. Hope Hurst knows what he's doing with this one.
