sage Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So in both games we have played much better in the half that he has played. It's a pity A) Fulham are going to buy him. B) He is awful C) @toddy and @Ninos believe A and B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomInceOnFire Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yea I don't think its any coincidence that in the 90 mins with Martin we scored 5 and in the 90 minutes without we scored 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Missed a sitter is slow as they come but the header to Bennett was gorgeous. Link play was very good and he isn't moaning at folks which is huge, but he played with Bennett Anya Johnson and Elsnik all who made impressions and he didn't have to suffer having Butterfield Russell and Bent alongside him, all who were tosh. The team has far less talent now so he can step up and fill the gap from having lost 3 of our finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Martin certainly doesn't possess pace, but his intelligence, good first-touch and awareness doesn't make him a slow player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, what he lacks in pace then he certainly makes up for it with the other qualities you list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 He will play well with Nugent or Vydra nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Can't wait to see Nugent and Martin play together this season. If we get someone to supply them like Lawrence then we'd be laughing. Two intelligent players, just wish Nuge was a few years younger.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Martin's intelligence gives him an extra yard. Sometimes that's all you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
