He was non-existent on Saturday. 14 touches of the ball with a 25% pass accuracy. Didn't win an aerial challenge and had one blocked shot. I'm sure Marshall would be better served playing alongside a proper striker that gets involved in the game. It was Shrewsbury and he was utter gash as usual. There is a reason Duff plays Ward with Marshall. He did it against Morcambe and again on Saturday. He may have a better feel for it than us. I can tell you now, I've seen Ward play far more than Duff. He's an atrocious striker. |

Saturday, because he didn't want to rush Healey back into playing 60mins after his niggle. You can bet Ward will have a big part to play tomorrow and then will revert to Healey starting v Rotherham. |

Prem league loans are how we got out of this league the last time.
Good signing. Another five or six please 😉 dunno what the squad rules are. Chelsea seem to have far too many players atm…

Bang on, the runs he made were classic striker runs that we’ve missed for years and now with wingbacks that put the ball in dangerous positions, I think he’ll score plenty. On another day he’d have had a few more. Every striker misses chances, I’ve seen Haaland miss a handful of sitters in one game. The positive thing is we are creating them. Agree. It's rolling back a lot, but his movement reminds me a lot of Jon Stead in that breakthrough second season in the bottom division where he scored a load and then in February was a Premier League player banging in roughly a goal every other game in the top flight for a few months (I think Stead was possibly a bit older by then than Marshall is now?). The curving runs giving defence unable to just leave him to be offside when the ball gets played as happens with lots of more "straight/forwards" striker movement, the sudden appearances unmarked six yards out, the hard work and very "he's not a defender" style messy physical challenges out wide thats often a foul and defenders don't like being on the receiving end of, even the 'pointing' !! Not sure he'll go on to perform in the Premier League, but he's a world above the last striker we loaned from West Ham and unlike Mipo, I suspect its HIGHLY unlikely he'll be sitting on Fleetwoods bench in 2 years time! mosher , please notice a positive post here 🤭😊! ^^^1 out of 2321?  Please note the winky smiley thing  |

Looks like we are going to need this lad to step up and become our main striker this season.

I'd say that up to now he has stepped up and if we bring someone in tonight then it will only benefit him and we could maybe see a good partnership form. Birmingham have signed more than one main striker in Alfie May and Lyndon Dykes so I feel like we could do with the two main strikers aswell. Here's to hoping.. |

A lot of pressure for the young lad. Hope he steps up but it’s unfair for him to be carrying the strike force.

Only one got promoted with their club and both of them included penalties in their tally (6 and 8). |

Don’t even know if we have a Callum Marshall song yet but…
To the tune of Tony Marshall (United song)
Callum Marshall, he came from West Ham!
Michael Duff said that he had a plan.
One prem loan spot, down the drain?
Callum Marshall Scores again!

Not impressed by him at all. I know he’s a young lad but he’s been non existent in so many games and I’m going to be bold enough to say he won’t have a career higher than league 1.
His fundamental flaw is his lack of pace which he crucially needs for a small guy with no strength or aerial ability. We need to start Koroma and Ladapo up front next match.

Don't remember him winning a 50-50 foot race this season. A bit worrying considering a lot of league one defenders aren't exactly quick On the other hand it feels like most weeks we come up against players who have pace to upset our back 3 We've got 5 strikers on the books now and not one of them has pace. Koroma appears to be the closest to ticking that box but not really. How can you have 5 strikers and not one of them being that whippet option to run in behind |

More worrying to me is when our 2 wingbacks and midfield cant pass it 5 yds to each other - marshall has clever movement but too often its wasted cos the ball rarely finds him. |

Granted they were poor yesterday but you’re missing the point here slightly. There has been plenty of balls played through to him which he has missed out on because he isn’t quick enough and many a time he’s been bullied. I’ve not seen him beat a defender for pace yet, stretch a back line, hold up play. It’s a very poor standard is this league, let’s be honest, and Koroma is outscoring him by a long way and the one causing the defenders problems - and he’s not even a proper striker! |

He actually makes the passes through to him look worse than they are because he loses ground on the defender while running for it. |

Obviously a lot of development in him yet and he's shown that he can finish when there's a good opportunity. However, for a wiry young lad who must weigh anout 10 stone wet through, I've been shocked by his total lack of pace. Even cumbersome centre-backs seem to get the better of him. You can absolutely see why he didn't get a look-in at West Brom.

Watching him warming up etc the lad can definitely finish, but as I said elsewhere and others have mentioned, his lack of pace is genuinely concerning.
He's not winning foot races with league one CB's. That doesn't bode well for his future at West ham.
Clever movement definitely, but if you can't get onto the ball or defenders catch you with ease, not ideal.
Young lad will come good i hope.

I think he has exceptional movement which makes up for a slight lack of pace.
The problem is the lack so far, of any ability by our midfield players to find him with a pass at the right moment.
Hopefully. Kane can improve this because he’s the only one I’ve seen so far, with any vision.

We need the imagination as the strikers are making runs. |

Any chance we could send him back in January?
I’d love to offload bojan, Ward, Healey and ladapo as well but there won’t be any takers unfortunately

A few weeks ago town fans were pleased with Marshall. He is a young lad who will have poor spells. It's up to Duff to manage this. So fickle

He's clearly a lad who can finish and he has decent skills with the ball at his feet. However, he doesn't have any physical presence and has a complete lack of pace. He's not going to develop either of those attributes, which means that his contribution is always going to be very limited; both at this stage of his career and into the future. I think the best we'll get out of him this season is as a 60/70 minute sub to run about and pester/harass the opposition. |
