Lucky?Or good recruitment
Quote from: RoversAlias on December 02, 2019, 02:07:40 pmSounds to me as though yesterday was just a bad day. Different tactics which didn't work and too many bad performers. It happens. Comments about us not being good enough "week in, week out" and "where are we going" are knee-jerk and unnecessary. Why do we always have this after one defeat?We aren't in great form but we're still a good side. Injuries haven't helped of late, and we obviously need a proper striker. But people don't half get carried away.For the record, I wasn't at the game yesterday nor did I watch or follow it - I was at the mercy of paramedics this time yesterday so didn't even know the score until about 7pm.We have a good chance to put recent woes right next Saturday, at home to a team who are struggling. I hope the fans come out for it as we haven't had much chance to go watch Rovers lately.By God Alias, that sounds scary. Are you OK now mate?

That’s great recruitment, signing a player that hasn’t pulled up any trees yet but knowing they’re going to be very good for you. Like a whiteman, an Anderson, a marquis, a wilks, a Kane. Very good recruitment The standard of recruitment has dropped slightly now, hopefully the new guy will help improve this

Not all one way traffic unearthing diamonds right left and centre.

No there is never a guarantee. There is always an element of good fortune or luck as well.

Pointless trying to have a rational discussion with you.Sorry Campsall, but I have to agree with Dickos on this one. Fergie had obviously spotted two very promising loan spells at Gillingham and Northampton, during which Marquis scored quite a few goals. I think it was an excellent piece of recruitment. I just hope our new bloke can spot talent like that.However, you're right that there's a certain amount of luck involved, as it doesn't always work out. Just look at Will Grigg at Sunderland.
Regarding Marquis surely his record at Portsmouth so far proves what a good signing he turned out to be for us and the way we played in those 3 years
