thelovebelow Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Remember how important CM was to Mac 1. The 433 didn't work without him holding up the ball and bringing the wingers into play. I think he'll be just as important to Cocu's 433. CM could very well kick-start our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestKentRam Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I love Chris Martin as well, and it was clear to see the effect he had today. I think this links in to his winning mentality and intelligence. Andre Wisdom was recently interviewed on his cousin's podcast and gives a telling insight in to this. 45:50 in to the podcast that is well worth a complete listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/lb/podcast/e28-the-worst-est-moments-with-andre-wisdom/id1417298918?i=1000448673465 On the bus back from Wembley after the QPR play-off final loss the players' mood was quite high with self congratulation at the loss with 'well dones', 'we gave it our all' and 'what could we do?'. CM was the only one who chirped up with 'well we could have won!'. CM's reaction seemed more in tune with what fans were feeling, but the other players, well...

His Yorkshire one used for club interviews or his London one when talking to his cousin?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazaDunn Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Here’s a question for you all... CM19, if he carries on, he’ll be our most important player this season. An absolute true professional and a great example of never giving up, do we give him a new contract? I know it’s so soon but Chris is comfortable when his family and future is settled.

Millenniumram Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You had to be wary of claiming that Martin would be significant to this season after just one (very good) goal against Leeds imo. But today, he was back. He was fitter Than he has been for a long time. He looked very much like he was before whatever happened mid 15/16 killed him off here- or looked like it had, anyway. Was bringing others into the game with his excellent link up play- helped by the superb Paterson. And a fantastic assist to go with a (somewhat fortunate) goal. If today was anything to go by, he could be massive again this season. Delighted to see him looking back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who never ever gives up and loves playing in front of us. With Bryson going and Keogh taking a back seat, Chris will help the fans feel closer and more engaged.

Steve How Hard?

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I can finally watch this video again without feeling desperately sad: There's also an excellent one of George Thorne that I simply can't stomach.

JfR Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Good interview with him in the Football League Paper today. Talks about the last few years and getting back into the team, and a lot about the illness he's been suffering with, which is ulcerative colitis. Worth a read if you can get it.

We can give him another four year one and this cycle can start all over again.... FWIW - I've not been a Martin fan all along. Even when he was scoring I didn't take to his eternnal whining and falling over. But even I can't deny his impact and the through ball yesterday to Waghorn was worth a big slice of humble pie alone. Right, where's that knife and fork.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
