Marcus Marshall...

Quoted from mariner2000

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

Sorry but if anybody thought we'd only sign 4-5 players this pre season id say they're off the mark. Despite what was told to us. If you have a bigger budget I don't believe you reduce the size of your squad, it doesn't make any sense. Our squad was a small one regardless and I reckon we'll sign closer to 6 or 7.

Don't understand all the negatives, I saw him have numerous great games and he and Hurst both knew he played nowhere near his potential.. Looked better once he left us too. Also is Mackreth really any better?good competition for Wingers. I honestly think Marshall will play a good part this season and surprise a few. With Monkhouse and Marshall.. Both wingers know they haven't got a guaranteed place. I trust PH

Not sure what people expect tbh?

You will  not find a 'consistent' winger at this level. Nature of the beast imo. In fact wide players at any level seem to flit in and out of games.

Cant say I am excited by the signing but equaly can see him as useful back up

Maybe he didnt fit in at Lincoln because he was fit and available for selection most weeks, most of their signings seem 'injury prone' at best

Now would love to see a decent quality striker to supplement what we already have as goals win games, and then a few trialiist in the opening pre season fixtures to find some more defensive cover & we are ready to go

The response of Lincoln City supporters on their messageboard does nothing other than convince me that we have signed the right man. Because:-

1. They wouldn't know a half decent footballer if one smacked them in the gob.

2. Their management has shown quite beyond doubt, that they have the inherent ability to take a decent player and make him look ordinary.

3. Clearly a player that didn't suit the Lincoln style. They are not interested for one minute in a fast and skillful player that can take a ball down the wing from his own half to the final third and then put in a cross. They just want players that can launch a long high ball from back to front as quickly as possible, or a player that is good at getting on the end of the same.

Welcome back Marcus.

I wouldn't listen to Lincoln fans opinions. It's been that long since anyone good played for them they don't know what a good player is any more.  

No prob with his return, as good and consistent as McKreth so why are people moaning (unless they also dont rate Jack)

Oh come on, he's an okay back up signing but he's not as good as Mackreth.

What needs to be remembered is that 90% of football fans know absolutely nothing about the sport. Doubly so when it involves their own team. Hardly a blockbuster signing but a handy signing as a bench player.

Reserve judgement till a few pre-season games, hope he finds his best form back with us. Good luck to him.

At least everyone can spell his name right, unlike Jack McKreth Macreth Makreth Mackreth.
