Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted January 16, 2016 And apparently should have just given away a penalty....I''m afraid he is one of the weak links this season and it''s costing us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted January 16, 2016 Lucky not to give a pen away now - what''s he doing???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted January 16, 2016 Martin allowing crosses in too easy is always a problem when he plays at rb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city4eva 207 Posted January 16, 2016 As has been said many times, he is a liability, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted January 16, 2016 Yes, it was a pen. Held his man back right in front of the referee and got away with it. He''s really struggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted January 16, 2016 It wasn''t a pen by the way but Russ had been done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted January 16, 2016 CBs and general sluggishness is at fault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Exactly. He was beaten but he barely touched the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted January 16, 2016 [quote user="Buh"]CBs and general sluggishness is at fault[/quote]And also Brady not tracking the man.Still, glad we managed to blame Martin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pliff 4 Posted January 16, 2016 If he was at fault for poor play then he should be blamed, Wisdom is a better option until Pinto is ready imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Kenneth 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Let''s all blame Russ again for other defenders playing poorly. This is pathetic it really is-Brady poor on the goal but it''s Russ''s fault?As for crosses coming in-is he the only player in the league whose side crosses come from? No-there are dozens across the league every week. Yes,it could have been a penalty but it wasn''t given, so it doesn''t matter. Don''t remember the pitch forks out when Bassong gave away the penalty against Leicester. If the opposition scored from a cross when Russ was CB it was his fault not the LB or RB. If the opposition score from a cross when Russ is at RB it''s his fault again, not the CB. It''s typical bullying mentality unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buh 0 Posted January 16, 2016 To blame Martin immediately shows up the vendetta done posters haveI just find it kind of sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Kenneth 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Unfortunately he gets very little help defensively from whoever is playing on the wing on front of him as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted January 16, 2016 As I said on the match thread- whatever happens this season I''ll never understand why we didn''t improve this back four in the summer. It was our weak point even at Championship level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pliff 4 Posted January 16, 2016 We just need better not PL quality and hasn''t been for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
