curb Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Really weird the way Derby fans love to hate our own players, Martin's goalscoring and all round play should put him close to legend status, somewhere above Sturridge and just below Davison, yet our own fans openly take the p out of him and make up names to denigrate him. Same with Keogh, should be getting towards Hindmarch status, and people are saying get rid. Nowt so queer as folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 4 hours ago, toddy said: From the Fulham Forum..... ''nonsense, it's more to do with the fact that he has been useless since January. If he had of played well and scored a few goals since his strike everyone would have forgiven him (except maybe me ) but he did neither'' How true the underlined bit really is. He was in possibly the most attacking team in the division, he couldn't hold down the CF position even when Fulham didn't actually any other CF to play, he managed 10 goals - he even failed to out score Fulham midfielders. Martin is not the striker he once was for us and not forgetting Mac 2 is no longer here to play a system around Martin, I am really not sure he would fit into the GR way of playing......... Oddly, I can't seem to find that on their forum. May I have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Fact is when he was starting regularly he was Fulham's top scorer and had scored more than any of our players. People mention his goal record for Derby but how many assists also? He is the best striker we've had probably Strupar, better than Rasiak, better than Hulse, better than Howard. Last year he had a poor season yet scored 15 goals and double figures assists? Has Ince done that? Yes he falls over and wins free kicks ?, yes he is slow and yes he is mardy, but he's mardy because he wants to win and he wants us to score every time the ball comes in the box. We've missed him, and in both boxes as he's excellent defensively from corners. All teams that have been promoted from Champ this season so far have at least 1 target man in their ranks. Cant believe anyone is questioning bringing him back but everyone has the right to an opinion. However, Rowett won't build the team around him and he'll have a battle with Nuge. As I said on another thread, Rowett picks different teams for different games so Martin can expect some time on the bench next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 This is all getting a bit childish now. Why don't we all wait to see our squad next season and support whoever we have. No need for this terrible negativity aimed at our players. Have views by all means but this goes too far (imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots that Pearson would not do. It was meant to be a play on 'what would Jesus do?'. As a philosophy for life, 'what would Pearson not do?' is quite a good one.

Barker will always be remembered in the term 'Barker type fee'. In years to come well by someone for £30mil, and it will be '30 barker type fees'. Keogh and shackell (first time) both came in for a barker type fee. I don't know if it's only reserved for central defenders though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
