davenportram Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 From the DETDERBY County will monitor the fitness of top scorer Chris Martin ahead of tomorrow's Championship clash against Blackpool.Martin started his first game for the Rams in two months on Saturday and played the 90 minutes against Brentford."If we are going to be honest, he played longer than we wanted him to on Saturday, and longer than it was recommended he played, but it was a needs must because we desperately wanted something form the game," said first-team coach Paul Simpson."So we will monitor him between now and Tuesday night to see whether he is fit."Read more: http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-County-Rams-monitor-scorer-Chris-Martin-s/story-26324406-detail/story.html#ixzz3XC6tKx7wFollow us: @DerbyTelegraph on Twitter | derbytelegraph on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Not worth the risk, bring him on if it aint working but start with Bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So that will be Martin on the bench and Bent up top on his own again. Should make people's formation suggestions a bit easierLet's be honest he looked woefully unfit on Saturday and maybe they stuck him out on the left wing to protect him and it wasn't just a bizarre tactical change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Play him left wing again to see if he can become the new Jamie "out with hamstring strain" Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Rest him for huddersfield Why would you rest him against Huddersfield rather than Blackpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Presumably because he thinks we can give Blackpool a tonking with a one legged Sammon up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Doesnt give me any concern, just saying they want to rest him to keep him safeand Blackpool are hardly a team we need to put our strongest 11 outif we can't beat them with a strike force of Darren bent, Tom ince and Jonny Russell then we're gonna need more than martin back to save us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Away from Martin, has Russell recovered from whatever got him subbed on Saturday ? I gather it more an illness than an injury but any news on him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Mills Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Remember the days when you used to play football every day at school lunch and then for several hours after school for years and never got a single injury? Not sure why professional athletes aren't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Rest Martin, play Ince and lingard out wide, with dawkins behind Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Rest Martin, play Ince and lingard out wide, with dawkins behind Bent.Agreed. I think if Bent is playing without Martin then Dawks is a must to keep better possession in the attacking half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Dawkins behind Bent if Martin is rested is a great idea. If be tempted to start Lingard as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Agreed. I think if Bent is playing without Martin then Dawks is a must to keep better possession in the attacking half. Some people keep saying let Dawkins go in the summer, I'll be so frustrated if he does because I feel we have never utilised him properly as its clear he's not really a winger. If you go on youtube and watch our goals from last season you will see when dawkins is involved in a move or in scoring a goal its more often then not when he's come inside and gone down the middle. He rarely hugs the touchline and puts a cross in as its not his game. His ability to link up the play and keep hold of the play could be very useful to our attacking moves.
