When JM plays up front in his own we need to get midfield runners going beyond him, this doesn’t happen.
BBThat wasn't what I asked. I'll ask again. Who was the last striker for us who had 5 goals in Tier 3 by this stage of the season?

I don't know, and neither do I particularly care, but playing in a team managed by Darren Ferguson I expect 5 goals is not too incredible an achievement.
No one thinks Marquis is rubbish but Rovers chose him after his amazing performances of last season , yet it’s obvious to anyone that he’s lost something and he’s barely the same enigmatic Player who bossed his was to nearly 30 goals . His efforts is just that, his running off the ball and possession on the ball are just not the same . He has scored but it’s not making any difference to his overall effect, it’s as though he’s coasting through games instead bullying and being more proactive. Alfie May runs into the grown and into Player twice his weight but has an effect on the game . Marquis starts & stops but has little end product or effect on the game , it passes without any difference being made .
In a nut shell! We are just not quiet up to the standard required .

The "don't know" bit I can live with. The "don't care" is a bit immature. If you're going to throw out criticisms, you should have some context in which to make them.I reckon we've had two players in recent years who has scored that many league goals by this time of the season in Tier 3.Heffernan didn't manage it.Hayter didn't manage itPaynter didn't manage it.Brown didn't manage itTyson didn't manage it.Fortune-West didn't manage itHume didn't manage it.Roberts didn't manage it.Robinson didn't manage it.Williams didn't manage it.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Edit: Guy didn't manage it - how could I have forgotten about him?++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++The only two examples I can find are Cotterill (5) in 12/13 and McIndoe (7) in 04/05. Goes without saying that neither of them were having to do the thankless job of leading the line. Just kind of puts a bit of perspective on it.
I saw Marquis live on Saturday and the replay on Sky and can't understand where the criticism of him comes from other than blind prejudice .
