Manager Michael Duff publicly stated, 'It might sound like pressure, it is pressure, we can't keep relying on centre-halves to score goals from set plays to win us games.' This highlights the urgent need for forwards, including Callum Marshall, to step up and contribute more significantly in attack.
Despite scoring four goals and providing two assists in 18 appearances, Duff expressed concern about Marshall's overall consistency, urging him to seize opportunities: 'It's trying to be a little bit more clinical because we're not always going to come and create that many chances.'
Marshall's standout performance was in the EFL Cup against Morecambe, scoring a goal and assisting another in a commanding 3-0 victory. Nevertheless, Duff's comments indicate that the young forward must enhance his impact in future matches.
Since joining West Ham's youth academy, Marshall has shown promise, particularly in the 2023 FA Youth Cup where he was instrumental in the final. However, the expectations at Huddersfield demand a higher level of performance.
