Would he go for Martin again given all the drama there before? I’m thinking he very well might. Straight swap for Tom Cairney should be our response.

Bob Gnarly Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 6 hours ago, David said: I just find it sad that we're 2nd in the table and Chris Martin lack of game time appears to the the motivation behind the criticism of Rowett who is thrown into this weird McClaren death bowl match up. Steve McClaren was a very good head coach for Derby, he took us 90 minutes away from the main target. Should he have been sacked/reappointed/sacked or not you can argue that until the end of time, fact is he was and no longer the Derby head coach. Chances of him returning to Derby are pretty much zero, it really is time to move on. Gary Rowett is a very good manager, took a poor Birmingham City team to the brink of the play offs and now Derby into 2nd, those that cannot give him any credit for the job and look to downplay or snipe at every decision and word spoke are quite simply embarrassing themselves. It's ok not to enjoy a style of football, football can be played in many ways, there is no right or wrongs, but to not give credit where credit is due comes down to pride which when you really stop to think about it, it's ridiculous, sat behind a keyboard, a username and a photo pulled from Google Images. The bloke is on for 2 manager of the month awards already this season, poor, ****, crap, whatever you want to call it managers do not win those regardless of the players at their disposal ask Nigel Pearson how many he won.. Chris Martin, quality striker at this level that is proven in games played and goals scored, scored one in every 218 minutes across his career, 1 in 2.5 games. Many different types of strikers, poachers or those that cover more miles than Mo Farah, each will fit a style that you enjoy to watch and that's fine, it's football, but to discredit him as a footballer and go around berating him like some kind of donkey is only making you look just as foolish as those discrediting Rowett. We have had some absolute woeful footballers and managers walk through the doors at Pride Park, McClaren, Rowett and Martin are not 3 of those, in fact all 3 of those have played a part in taking this club from scrapping the drop to realistic return to the Premier League and in time, when internet trolling and male pride wear off, will all be remembered fondly and rightly so. Finally, to state the bleeding obvious there was a Derby County long before these 3 and there will still be a Derby County long after they have gone, players, managers comes and go, if you find it hard to say goodbye maybe football isn't the sport for you as it's brutal out there. What about us that don't have photos at all - we are a different breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve hit a new low for success. Just be in the 18 and you’re mint. Rock on mediocrity? Martinites retreating and now lowering the bar further ... presumably based on visible green grass evidence.

RamNut Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I like chris martin. why? 1. He's our player 2. He has scored a load of goals for us. 3. He was loyal to us when he got shipped out to fulham 4. He seems like a good bloke. 5. I once saw him walking through Duffield. i am immune to Ninos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBee Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 10 hours ago, Ninos said: We’ve probably never in our history had three more lethal, prolific performing strikers at the start of a season - than Vydra Winnall and Nugent - they’ve ferociously grabbed their chances. They’re unstoppable. More delusional garbage from you. The team is doing well but Vydra is the only one of those whose scoring can be properly described as prolific.There are many teams round us in the table who have scored a similar number of goals, we are not outperforming them in terms of our scoring. The sad thing is that you only make such stuff up to have a go at CM . Best not to wonder what is actually going on in your shrivelled little brain.

Think you are half right , where you go wrong is to disrepectfully call him a one trick pony and that rightly gets some fans backs up ,, Martin is not a one trick pony ,he has lots of tricks in the right type of team for him , he can hold up , he can link play ,he can hit a free kick,he can score a variety of types of goals and he is good defensively on set pieces , where you are right is that he doesn’t really fit into our style now and I am now of the opinion that it’s time to cash in and bring in a pacy ,powerful striker who can run channels , pull defences around , press defenders from the front with pace and power and nick goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no need for comments like that. I haven't seen a single thing about Martin leaving, but an out of favour, top quality striker surely will bring in some interest? and with Rowett eager to ship some players out, surely Martin will be sold if the right bid comes in? It does seem that he's now our 4th in the pecking order and I think a move away from the club benefits both parties and I can't see him being a Derby player after this window. To be fair to Chrissy, he deserves more than being 4th pick. It's a shame to see such a talented player rotting away on our bench. Obviously, without a bid, he remains a Derby player, so Ed Dawes comments are bang out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
