I tend to judge strikers on their ability to finish. Martin is a really good finisher, no question. Where as finishing is Waghorn's weakness.

Waghorn offers energy and movement where Martin offers more technical passes. Different strengths. Would argue Waghorn’s finishing is only poor one on one, his instinctive finishing is actually pretty good.

So I was expecting something special, a player who would make the difference. It's been disappointing overall. Just my perspective, though...

Correct. Martins getting on a bit now and Waghorn is adequate out wide but can't take a penalty or finish one on one. There's a chasm between him and Marriott in finishing ability and the Bristol channel between Marriott and Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's ok I understand @SaintRam why you're putting all the Chris Martin chat in here. You're missing him as much as the rest of us Martinis aren't you? Put it all in one place and it's easy to avoid. I'm here for you when you're ready to talk. Trust me the hurt will subside eventually. ? angieram and Day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different to people who thought Hughes, Bryson, Russell, Vydra, Keogh even Malone shouldnt have gone when they did but have still supported their replacements. Your comment suggests Chris fans arent Derby fans first and foremost which is daft What you call daft non cult members call borderline ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what journalists say, yeah. I did say that. We don't know any of the inner workings of football, we can go off what journos say. I choose to do that, it's not controversial is it?

Well yes it is silly and controversial if you STATE as fact that Derby offer was pathetic based on A journo saying Bristol offered him a better deal with no facts and figures either , you or I ( journo too ) don’t have the first clue how the two offers stack up against each other , Derby may have better weekly wage but less time to the extent that’s there’s little difference in the value ? So much so that Derby fans may well think less of Martin if they knew the figures , who knows ? Certainly not you or I or some journo come to that you have a narrative you need to stick to so post stuff as fact when it’s no such thing ,now that’s foolish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
