I personally would have thought 4-4-2 would be perfect for a slower striker like Martin who is fantastic at holding up the ball. Stick someone quite fast up top with him and you've got Martin coming deep to collect the ball which in turn leaves space for his striker partner to run into.

I would imagine DCFC will probably quash these rumours tomorrow if they are false about Martin,Keogh and Russell saying they are going nowhere.

EnigmaRam Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 It could be nothing more than a tentative enquirey about the availability of these players. Only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather surprising the number of negative posters who have come out of the woodwork but we have to accept their right to have an opinion, although I do question the level of support of some on here, particularly 2 or 3 of the more arrogant newcomers!

I've always thought 4-4-2 would be our best option based on the fact we have better midfield options than our rivals but not necessarily better attacking options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems fashionable on here to rubbish Nixon ( e.g. The title of this thread) and I don't get it. He's not the messiah but he's always worth a read and he's clearly got some contacts.

At this point he's about as accurate as names out of the hat for transfers with fees involved for us, so I don't really think the defence you're giving him is justified.
