Tombo Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 There's no question that if Baird plays then he gets his armband back. He's the captain...I'd like to see Christie start though and Martin keeping the armband. He's a great leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Give it Bradley Johnson, he always make the first crunching tackle. stetting Let him set the standard and hopefully wake them all up to realise the first 45 minutes are not still part of the warm up.

knabby crackers Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Martin is a poor captain in my opinion. Mardy character at the best of times, opinionated, demonstrative and quite selfish too. Good qualities for a striker, but not for a captain. Wish he could stay on his feet more too.Thank God there is someone else not wearing rose-tinted glasses, I am one of a number who think that Martin has something of an attitude problem, he also gives the impression that he thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread.Captain? He couldn't skipper a pedalo on Markeaton Boating Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Trying to get him to chase through balls, no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 No chance of him doing anything. Not even controlling simple balls into his feet or taking up a defensive shape.It was Connor Sammon without the work rate. Most his effort went into lying on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Last season he was so important till he got injured...and he hasn't rediscovered his form yet. He is in on reputation at moment, of course he has scored a few but I think Bent would have scored as many given as much game time. Martin gets in ahead of Bent for all the other things he offers...winning flick-ons, holding up the ball, getting freekicks....unfortunately he did none of those things today, he was pretty awful and kept giving away fouls and offsides, not a good day at all. Having said that, all front '6' were pretty poor till last 20mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Agree with some of the above, he is too mardy and selfish to be captain- you need someone who can encourage his team mates.clement already made baird captain thats how it will be.

Bridgford Ram Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I love Chris Martin and back when we were good he was our best player and focal point. Everything went to him and he brought the rest of the team into the game and made us play.The problem we have now is that we don't play to his strengths. If we aren't going to play everything through him and instead expect him to chase through balls he is no good to anyone. He just becomes a slow, mardy player. Such a shame.I believe we have two choices, we can go back to our previous style of looking to hit him with every ball and feeding off him or we can drop him and play Bent instead.
