Mostyn6 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was expecting Russell to be the star player and personally I would have started the season with him and Sammon. If Martin can continue the rest of the season at the same level then he will be a shoe in for Player of the year. Also, after seeing Sammon play last night I don't know how people in the other thread were saying he's no better than Theo. His first touch, movement, positioning and finishing were all excellent. I think dropping him has given him a shock and he looks better than he ever was last season. I think we have 3 top championship strikers this season and I'd expect them to all get double figures this season. If Freeman and Buxton carry on at the same level, and Keogh pulls his socks up and cuts out the mistakes we can definitely acheive top 6 this season. That's easy. Simply, he's never once shown anything like what he did last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Did anyone else see him strong-arm that defender last night as well? Literally threw him to the ground a couple of feet away whilst still keeping hold of the ball. The guy's an animal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He can control a ball!! Sell Theo and Sammon, this guy will do me. I don't care if he can't do anything else. I'm sold. Chris Martin Appreciation Society Approved Member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Does it really bother people how easily he goes down? Never bothers me. Not with Commons or Cywka or Ward. Anyone. I get irritated for a few moments if they waste a decent play by going down but I forget about it within 10mins. I hated the diving moaning cheat when he came here with Norwich and Palace. I think, struggling for memory... but I think Norwich beat us 2-1 at home and it was Martin's blatant dive and then cross from the following free kick that Holt scored. He was booed for the rest of the game. And he carried on winning cheap free kicks. Cnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 s'pose it's a bit like sav - like them when the cheating and nonsense goes your way - hate them when it doesn't. nice to see sammon play off the striker and actually be in the box receiving the ball rather than being up front on his own running around like a tit. (feel a bit sorry for B4 - current form/players available would put calum way down the list.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 My main concern/only concern was fitness after watching him on loan last season. Come January he could be looking at getting his contract extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich3478 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sammon was excellent last night, wonder if competition has sharpened his game/attitude up! Keep it up anyway. Also Keogh had been excellent the last two games, freeman had been the star man for me so far. Buxton has been ok and not done much wrong without doing a lot right for me. Forsyth similarly has had positives as well as negatives! Our midfield is always of a decent standard, Russell looks sharp and promising! Very encouraging start in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I spoke to a Norwich fan about him after the weekend and he said he was a big time Charlie up there with his drinking and partying. Seems to have calmed down a bit here then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Ram Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I for one will hold my hand up and say that when he was on loan, I never rated him. When he was signed permanently I thought it was an ok signing but didn't have any high hopes. His attitude from Pre-season to the opening 4 weeks of the season he has been first rate. His goalscoring return is better than expected as I believed Russell would be on the number Martin is on and vice versa. I hope he continues in the same vein.
