Anyone defending Martins honour this evening?

[Commando Canary 0]

I didn''t see him giving it large to the Barclay faithful today.

Please please please can we drop this clown and start the re-build now.

The worst captain I''ve seen at Carrow Road in my 43 years on the planet.

Yet another calamitous defensive performance.

His honour at the club has never been in doubt. His ability on the pitch these days however is beyond defending.

He can wave that captains armband around as much as he wants, shit captain, crap player, if we want to have any chance next season this guy will be nowhere near starting.

Well, Ryan Bennett gave it a good try.

It was genius of Fulham to get him on to replace Chris Martin.

[Tetteys Jig 814]

no doubting his honour at our club but he has definitely gone stale here. I''d get rid of a fair few before Russell Martin though. he only cost us 50k from peterboro as well to be fair to him. His move to centre back has been a disaster from day 1 though.

[Jim Smith 1,927]

It''s no coincidence that any defensive combination which includes Martin at CB is awful. Bennett has lost it as well and should be shipped out with Bassong and Turner but ever since this lunacy of playing a Martin at CN started our defence has been sh*t.

[Branston Pickle 3,047]

I must have missed something, Martin didn''t do that badly today - certainly didn''t shoot us in the foot with a ridiculous pen - why make him scapegoat yet again?

[Iwans Big Toe 212]

I don''t know about defending Russell Martin, but I do know I''d like to see him attempt it occasionally.

[GJP 77]

He''s not the answer at centreback but he tried. Unlike Klose.

And as for Ryan Bennett...well I''ve spent years saying he''s cr@p and I think people are starting to see it at long last.

[hogesar 8,079]

Martin was comfortably our best CB today...again.

Half assed Klose gave away countless needless fouls and that''s about it.

Bennett individually diabolical for both goals once he came on.

Yet Martin gets a thread all about him? Some of the responses too say all you need to know about some of our fans. Braindead morons.

Saying that I do also disagree with those booing Bennett individually today. The last thing we need is for him to be even worse.

[Commando Canary 0]

Hogesar, are you saying we aren''t entitled to our opinion? You are beginning to sound like Morty... enough said!

[hogesar 8,079]

No. But I am saying your opinion is f*cking stupid and devoid of logic and facts.

[Horse Renoir 1]

Best CB out of the 3 to play for us today. Bennett should''ve gone the summer we got promoted and Klose is finished for us, clearly can''t be bothered. Martin and Bassong next game for me with Godfrey as backup. Mistakes in all 3 of them but I''ve completely run out of patience with Bennett and Klose, I don''t want to see them again, enough is enough!

Bassong should go as well but hasn''t been as offensively lackluster as the other two this year and I''d like to see Martin stay surrounded by a different defence next year.

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

Interesting that the posters with the Martin agenda have failed to mention the debacle that was Ryan Bennett. Was that Martin''s fault too?

[ZLF 217]

I didn''t think klose was that bad today, he won some tackles and was solid in the air. He wasn''t great as his slack pass for the opening goal showed, but for me he was better than non tackle Russ who was miles ahead of the people''s hero Bennett.

All about opinions i guess.

Doesnt change we need at least 3 new CBs if we have a hope to compete next season.

And upgrades in central midfield protection is just as urgent.

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

Bennett wouldn''t look out of place in League Two.

[Clint 221]

Klose questionable for first goal, Bennett for the other two but yet we''re still scapegoating Martin, good one.

[Baldyboy 0]

Why bash Martin? He was the best of a bad bunch at centre back today, Klose poor pass gave the first goal away and as for Bennetts contribution, well enough said on that!

[Capt. Pants 3,192]

There were a lot worse players on the pitch today, but they are usually picked week in week out. Bennett is a joke, Hoolahan was shocking, Pritchard left footed corner really? Hopefully and thankfully there will be a massive clear out at the end of the season.

[Hairy Canary 552]

Martin was the best of a poor bunch of the three CD out there today so why he deserves a thread all to himself in preference to Bennett who was terrible I don''t know.

There''s enough to moan about without getting it wrong Gina. Martin took off and kissed his black arm band after he scored last week, not his captains armband. Right in front of me.

[deltic31 13]

I needed a massive clear out after today''s game just to cheer me up!

Klose was awful!

Bennett was his usual useless self!

Martin was also shite, stood watching for the third goal!

Murphy was useless going forward and he forgot about his defensive duties.

Let''s hope we see a new defence next season.

[Tumbleweed 106]

Martin was in my view the best of the 3 CBs but I hope none of them were are in the squad in August. Dreadful defending all round again today.

The irony of that post is astounding.

Criticises people for swearing by swearing

[quote user="Rogue Baboon"]The irony of that post is astounding.

Criticises people for swearing by swearing[/quote]But, like me

on my prediction that we would get beat today because Fulham nearly always

beat us (unless it''s a promotion season), he''s not wrong. Hogesar is obnoxious.

Where is the swear word???

[JF 694]

If the rest of the team had the same level of commitment to the club that he does we wouldn''t have had the season that we have. Probably shouldn''t be first choice next season but there are far more culpable players than him to scapegoat

Many people would consider tit to be a swear word...

Another one missing the point completely, the desire and comitment count for nothing if you aren''t very good! Martin, isn''t very good, in fact he hasn''t been for a few years!!

The argument about comparing with others is pointless. This isn''t a thread about how clueless the rest of our defenders are.

This is a thread about our clueless captain and that he can''t defend, and hasn''t been able to for a few seasons.
