DazaDunn Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Before anyone jumps down my throat, it’s just a suggestion. Nuge has been used for his holdup play not his goals. I know Chrissy hasn’t been scoring for a while but his holdup play is still there. Instead of loaning Martin out again, why not use him for the Nugent role? In our system I would expect him to bag 7-10 for us as opposed to Nuges 2-5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I wouldn't be against him getting a chance again. We brought nuge in for mac2 when we couldn't get Martin back from Fulham. Ohord.. Nigel Pearson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igorlegend11 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If Marriott training/fitness/workrate isn't deemed to be enough.....then unless Chris wants to serve the sausages in the canteen he won't be a fixture at Moor Farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gisby Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Oh no not another bring back Chris Martin thread ??? it’s all gonna kick off now .... I’m going on a sabbatical for the summer ......

Duracell Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I really can’t believe he’s still with us. He first joined - on loan - in my first year of university. I graduated four years ago now and still we’re debating his place in the side. Not long until we add him to the club song along with Steve Bloomer. He’s almost been watching from the side-lines as long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaLocks Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'm not warm about him playing it at all, indeed I'd even describe the prospect as a bit of a cold play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Replace one bloke who couldn’t score in a brothel with another.... no thanks. Need a younger replacement for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 More than happy for Martin to be given a chance. Martin was successful under Mac 1 and was cast aside by Pearson and Rowett. The actions of Pearson and Rowett are enough to convince me that Martin is the greatest footballer on the planet, the pair were that clueless.

G STAR RAM Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Maybe an option if we get the wage bill down. Don't think he is a likeness to Nuge in any way, shape or form. Nuge is much harder working and nowhere near as effective at hold up play. Not sure Martin would have had much more of an effect this season, our problems came when the midfield were not getting close to our forwards.

I’m not convinced, a lot of play into Waghorn was in the air from fullbacks/wingers. We didn’t play through the middle enough last season for Martin to have been any use at all. Towards the end we Mount came back we did a bit more in the games where, surprisingly, we actually played well, but in the main there was a lot of lobbing it to the striker last season. Which Waghorn is best at dealing with, tho going forward I’d rather we did play into feet and built a proper midfield. My main criticism of Lampard was not sorting that last summer, but we’ll see what happens this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minesahartington Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I like Chris. He was excellent once. Last season playing 30 games for Hull he got more yellow cards than goals. Sorry but surely he is not the answer. As much as I would like him to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
