God knows what our tactics were supposed to be today. I suspect DC is overcomplicating things somewhat. Or our players aren't listening. Both, probably.
I think yesterday removed any doubt that Marquis no longer remains even a passable lower league attacker. He was in the pocket of the two Harrow centre backs all afternoon - let's be clear on that, part-time, non league centre backs who train twice a week.
The almost complete lack of applause when he was withdrawn spoke volumes.
His positioning is terrible, he makes no movement/space and doesn’t anticipate and attach crosses. Any decent striker does all that. Otherwise, he’s fantastic.
