Warren Hobhead Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 4 hours ago, toddy said: With Winnal coming in - it does look like the end for Martin and just maybe we were trying to offload him last minute. The end of him? Because we've signed a totally different kind of striker? Give up man. I'm excited to see us now play two up front. Everything points to it. Martin plus another.

hintonsboots Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Chrissy will do well if we play some 5 a side in and around the box, he will both score and create a shed full. If we go more direct then Winnall will be ideal. I still think CM will make a valuable contribution this season, including the winner in the play off final.

With Huddlestone its defence to attack in one kick of the ball. Hughes opened defences further up the field with his vision and passing skills.... I know Thorne isn't the quickest but I don't think he's as slow as Huddlestone to be fair. I reckon Thorne is probably 'average' speed for a professional footballer. Both of them are brilliant at picking out a pass I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthram Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 With the sort of players that we have currently in our squad, I can see Chris Martin being more involved and will probably create more assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good manager and squad should be able to operate in different systems. Carson; Wisdom, Keogh, Davies, Forsyth; Lawrence, Huddlestone, Johnson, Russell; Martin, Nugent. 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on wakey wakey where have you been the last 9 mths? Pipe down Toddy. You're trying to re-tell history here. You stated on dozens of occasions that Martin wasn't coming back. Literally dozens. You were wrong. For months you then touted Fulham taking up their option. You were wrong. Then like a monkey flinging its own **** about you came up with Wolves via Fulham and even talked about Fulham making a profit on the deal. You were wrong and wrong again.

People still think the price was £3m when it was £6m + £3m loan fee. Still think Chris has a large part to play this year Couldn't agree more. Martin's only real failing (and even calling it that is a stretch) is that he does need support and ball to feet to prosper. Those who don't play in the Prem and cost a gazillion pounds per leg. In any case, when the team are playing well around him, he scores plenty and despite the sniping from some quarters, the facts confirm this. Much will depend on how Rowett intends to set the team up. If he chooses a style that doesn't play to Chris's strengths then I could see Chris leaving next summer. Equally, with Vydra slowly coming back to form and a young and dynamic player like Lawrence to add spark and ammunition, I'm hoping Chris will pick up the challenge and show us again what a clinical finisher he can be. The competition Nuge provides ought to be healthy so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Probably wouldn't work but i would love to see Nuge and Vydra playing off Martin. Nuge to pull people about and get on the end of Martins clever passes and Vydra to use his speed also feeding off Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
