Was Marshall at fault for their goal? To me he didn't look right today

He kept slipping when kicking the goal kicks - bit of a risk playing him I think..

Wrong end of the pitch for me, but he shouldn't have been out there.

I think he wants to stay in cardiff so slipping up a bit to get attention away from him

As usual his kicking was shit and he could have done better for the goal

Seemed a bit hesitant to come out for the ball but still should have got to it.Maybe he wasn't completely over his illness ?

Fortunately , we went on to deservedly win!

I think his main weakness is he can be flat footed and slow off his line. It seemed worse than usual today.

Morrison made a cock up but Marshall should have easily cleared it up.

He actually had a few decent kicks today but a few were shocking!

Man has been ill ,came back too soon, I thought he was culpable in the goal. Great stalwart though for the city, could have easily cried off from todays game.

He may have been rushed back by the coaching staff

Certainly looked to get the bounce of the ball and the timing of it all wrong.

In my opinion yes he was, but I wouldnt have anyone else but him in goals for us. CCFC Legend

Yes. I thought he was unlucky to have been understudy to Tom Heaton several seasons ago.

A fully fit Marshall would have dealt with the situation quite comfortably. Slade took a chance and it paid off which just goes to show how lucky we are to have Russell Slade managing our great club.:ayatollah:

He made a mistake not because he's been ill but because he's a human

Russell Slade is lucky to be managing our great club.

Didn't have one shot in anger to deal with.
Could have done better with their goal.
His distribution as usual poor.
Today was about our immensely industrious midfield & set pieces. Our last 3 goaks via Whitt's corners.
In open play we have little threat; unsurprising when a wide midfielder is up front.
This experiment has to end, City cannot rely on corners.

Funny u say this bcoz I watched the full warm up and they were slotting goals passed him left right and centre, I thought he didn't look right then.

I thought Derby's goal was a fluke - credit to Martin because he might have got clattered by Marshall, but that lucky touch he took had the effect of taking a couple of City players (including Marshall) out of the game. I wouldn't blame our keeper for the goal or for the way he was slipping when kicking the ball (virtually all of the players on the pitch did that at one time or another because of the decision to have the sprinklers on for so long before kick off), but I did wonder if he might have been wearing a larger shirt size than normal - either that or he had, hardly surprisingly, lost a few pounds during his illness.

The embargo worked a treat, we would have still been labouring with Kenwyne and Tony Watt perhaps, Immers and the overdue introduction of O'Keefe has perked us up no end.

I think Watt would be a useful player to have in our squad at the moment gIven the attacking options.

Not bothered about Kenwyne going. I prefer Immers

he is vastly over rated
