SK47 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 We're all talking about getting rid of him etc, but if he's ill and hasn't had chance to show what he can do in the current squad/style/formation, I'd be inclined (and I'm sure Frank is too) to let him fight for a place and give him some minutes in cup games etc. Martin when he has support and players that Go beyond him, he can be lethal. I'd keep him for another year because no one is gonna pay good money for him atm, but if he can rediscover even half the form he did a few seasons ago then he could be an asset.

Why do you think he isn't training with the First Team instead of playing and training with U23 team (together with G. Thorne and J.Butterfield). Is it because Frank counts on him for the future? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t'oldu Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Can we just close this thread. Its not really fair on Chris to speculate on his medical problems for want of something else in the way of news. He may / may not be here by the end of the month. End of. Move on......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Could we just show one of our players some support, instead of slagging him off? silly me. yeah close the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Is Chris Martin actually fit? If we are going to persist with 433 we could do a lot worse than bringing him back to play the 'Chris Martin' role. Personally I don't think we should play 433 because it's predictable and so easy to counter. I can see why we'd like to get rid of Chris Martin. He's a very limited striker, with no pace, acceleration or spring. He is only effective in one system, so not at all flexible. The thing is though, the one system that he's brilliant at happens to be the which we are utilising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mean where 2 of Bryson, Mount, Johnson or whoever bombs on and links with his knock downs and lay offs. Where we create chances when team mates play close to him, rather than 20/30 yards apart. Probably a dream at the minute but sounds good to me.

G-Ram Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Out of all our strikers Martin is one of the only ones id keep ive never been a fan of him & always thought he was overrated by some of our fans but he’s the only one that offers something different jerome is a poor mans nugent, waghorn is one season wonder & probably a waste of money imo. Chris Martin is the only one that offeres something different Problem last season was Jerome on for Nugent etc all our changes were like for like... Chris Martin off the bench is our plan B ... i couldnt belive we loaned him out last year to then sign Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was kicked from pillar to post yesterday, got bugger all protection from the ref or service from our midfield, yet still scored a perfectly good goal, but you've already seen enough to know he's a waste of money? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Feel like I watch a different game to some on here, all I’ve seen is criticism of Waghorn and Johnson, but I was there and I’m pretty sure they were our best two players! Certainly in the starting team anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 i was there too mate , i certainly watched the same game as you , the only two of the starting eleven to come out of the game with any credit , Brad had a powerhouse 2nd half , he went toe to toe with the Millwall midfield , promising signs from Waggy , took a lot of stick with very little protection from the ref , another game or two and waggy will be a fans favourite, would like to see a start for Mason Bennett on tuesday , his performances when coming off the bench should earn him a starting place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! How is that writing him off??? i just dont rate him from what ive seen of him so far in his career... just like if we over paid for someone like Nick Blackman after a purple patch at Reading i wouldbt be that impressed... the point i was making is as much as im not a fan of Martin he offers something different a bit of a plan B off the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
