I meant Birmingham Oi EDIT: Anyone surprised that RACIST Alpha, who was against Tom Ince from the start, has a problem with Birmingham being a "DARK, DARK" place? Cant believe we still have these attitudes in current year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PodgeyRam Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It seems to me that you play the system that best suits your players, not play the best players that suit your system. All I'm going to say is that if we are left with Bent as first choice striker we'll be lucky to reach midtable, let alone the playoffs. Playing with Bent is like playing with ten men and frankly his finishing these days isn't good enough to justify his selection, in my opinion.

It's like we're picking Bent for some kind of testimonial year. He has all the instincts and positioning but none of the pace or agility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is Martin actually offers things in open play like passing and hold-up play. Bent doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Martin has been one of the most fouled players in the league over the past 3 seasons and thats without all of the free kicks he should have had. I bet that if you were to ask every championship defender that they would all say that Bent is easier to defend against. Martin drops deep meaning defenders get caught in two minds about whether to follow him or pass him on. Bent meanwhile is caught offside time and time again, having realised that he isn't quick enough to time his runs later. Plus the some total of Bent's contribution to play is to jump under the ball time and time again. I think man must have shrunk during the last couple of seasons because nothing else explains his insistance of jumping under the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreweRam Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I love Martin for what he has done for Derby over the years but unfortuantly i think his time is up as i dont think he will fit Pearsons plans. I would like to see a good replacement in the door before we even consider selling him & when we do sell him we should be asking 10+ million.

deanoakaram4life Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Martin has been excellent for us over the years! I remember the 13/14 season and us finally having a striker who netted 20! intensity is key in modern football and there is no way we can play high tempo with a striker who drops deep into midfield. I think Pearson wants away from the possession, slow build up style we have evolved over the years. A few tweaks are needed and I would suggest selling Martin and Hendrick and getting in wells and foristieri if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
