A few comments from the match thread on the HCFC Forum. Make of it what you will: Martin ffs - plays like he doesn't give a **** or is just **** - either way, he's **** Martin isn't a strikers ********, the bone idle, lazy **** him. Stewart actually did well today imo! The biggest question for me was what was worse... The refs performance or Martin's first touch ! Watched Martin enough to say he s not a good header, has no pace, not a forward who will make many runs but his best quality when on form is holding the ball up well.

Before he went on strike, and got a long contract, he was good enough. Nearly 2 years on, and what 4 or 5 (?) goals later, he looks neither good enough anymore, nor worth his current wage. I wonder what Mel makes of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 For what it’s worth on Martin I had a look at the Hull not606 forum and while you do get some of the comments above, the posters who have tended to be a little more analytical make the point that they aren’t getting forward or giving him anything to feed on so there’s maybe is a balance to consider.

roboto Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Ok, so this is my two cents on the Chris Martin argument. Mainly because I'm sick of reading the same comments putting him down or bigging him up more than he deserves. He did great for us a few seasons back and we all have fond memories of his goalscoring form, he was a great servant to the club and he was treated badly while we messed around with management changes. That has stalled his career. To be honest though, although he does thrive in the right system with the right players, he isn't good enough for teams to be built around him and his needs. At this level teams can't afford to get a marquee player and spend money on trying to put the right players around them. It works in the top leagues with world class players, but this is the Championship where you need players to fit in different systems and deliver across a 50+ game season. I'm sure a lot of managers would love to have Martin in their team, but it's not just the cost of Martin you need to consider when putting him in your squad. You have to surround him with the right team mates and that costs more money. I'm happy that we have strikers like Marriott (natural goalscorer from any position), Waghorn (hard-working front man who can operate out wide effectively too) and Nugent (great character on and off the pitch for the young players to learn from) at the moment. Martin wouldn't get into this team currently. We've moved on as a team and we should move on as fans and remember the good times when he was banging in goals for fun during Mac1.
