Marquis had a decent goal scoring record in his 3 year spell with Doncaster (which is presumably why Jackett paid a £1+ Million for him), in reality, with or without the input of GNW, his record with us is not substantially different to his spell with Donny.
Harrison on the other hand was never a prolific scorer with Bristol Rovers but Ipswich must have seen potential enough to pay £750K for him, for whatever reason, he didn’t score regularly for them and Ipswich took a loss and sold him to Pompey for £405K. He hasn’t been putting the ball in the net regularly for us either (2 L1 goals this season so far).
Methinks that GNW needs to work his particular brand of magic (whatever it may be) on Harrison to enable Ellis to get scoring regularly because, should Marquis lose form (!) or miss a few games in the second half of the season, Harrison becomes Pompey’s main striker, I don’t see that working out well.
