firststeps 0 Posted September 1, 2015 I''ve made my thoughts on Martin very clear, but seriously, Bassong, Bennett and Martin, it''s a joke, a blooming joke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted September 1, 2015 I really think we''re in trouble...no cover at the back...relegation here we come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted September 1, 2015 That''s very worrying. What''s more worrying is we went into the last day trying to sign rejects like nedum onuhua. Just going for anyone.Don''t we have people employed by the club to identify targets. I could name you 10 centre backs in the championship who are better and who are on less than the reported £45k a week he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Our defence lacks depth, and quality. We will ship a lot of goals this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted September 1, 2015 Let''s all have a cry It was only a few weeks ago the wisdom was a better centre half than a right back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 0 Posted September 1, 2015 We have a pool of 5 players to play at CB and RB. What happens when we pick up inevitable injuries and suspensions. Whittaker is due to serve a suspension. Bassong is only two games away from a suspension already. Throw a few knocks into the mix and their could be games when we struggle to have any viable substitutes in these positions, especially since Elliot Bennett is clearly not fancied by AN.

Beetley Yellow 57 Posted September 1, 2015 Oh well, 8.20pm, it''s not happening is it? Lack of quality at CB got us relegated last time, like so many others I said to myself they are going to do something about it this time.... Aren''t they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow86 0 Posted September 1, 2015 AN didn''t want to drop the Scottish contingent of whitts and Martin, shortly we will have the national team playing for NCFC!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanaryOne 0 Posted September 1, 2015 I think a lot of the trouble is Russell Martin sign a proper CB and he''s toast , they just do not want to drop Mr Nice Guy . He should be told he is playing right back or not at all , he is a liability to the club . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pliff 4 Posted September 1, 2015 [quote user="DDD In The Fine City"]Let''s all have a cry It was only a few weeks ago the wisdom was a better centre half than a right back?[/quote]If you are happy to let in 2 or 3 goals a game on average then good luck with that, I hate to think what Man City will do to us. I cannot believe people think we can put up a fight with Martin and Whittaker in the side neither can tackle and are very slow, poor show in the window. Oh and why have we let players out on loan and kept Elliot Bennet in the squad beggars belief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firststeps 0 Posted September 1, 2015 You could have argued that we would have made do up front, and a midfield (with BJ) was well equipped. But no one can deny our CB pairing is not good enough. Martin gets found out time and time again. AN must see it, we all do and he watches the match back time and time again. I said it before, Martin as a CB will relegate us. Sorry Martin lovers.

smooth 114 Posted September 1, 2015 Defence was critical.At least 1 centre back was needed.Ah well roll on January window, we need it to build for the next few seasons. We need centre halves of quality AsAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
