Has anyone actually seen him play?. Maybe he scores goals because the youth team have a good midfield unlike the 1st team

i saw him against lynn in careys testimonial, he played just behind thorne and jarvis, and ran the 2nd half. i know it was only lynn but he certainly looked like he had potential, but then he was being compared to thorne and jarvis!!

Yes let play him so some people can disect his few minutes on pitch and explain why he is not good enough and why he will end up playing Sunday League.

Yes seen him play loads, has scored goals when playing in a midfield role as well.  He really should have a go no more of  a risk than playing Thorne, Jarvis etc.

I''d be well tempted to start him up front with Brown. It''s fresh and new, no baggage from the nightmare games of this season, just what the club needs right now!

If he (Martin) is going to be given a chance to shine, give him a real go and let him play the next three/four games (barring injury)

A one-off game here and there is exactly why Jarvis and Henderson have stalled at being potential rather than actual footballers.

Same idea with Eagle, Rossi Jarvis, Spillane and any other youth/reserve players that are of an age and class to be pushing into the first team.

We''re almost certainly not going to be up there near the play-off spots, so lets at least get some positives out of a rather wretched season by blooding promising youngsters. 

Thoughts?

I love your signature fact nutty - can you elaborate on when and which the clubs it was for?It''s some achievement. Better even than Tony Cottee''s of being the only player ever to play at all 3 levels of professional football in one season (2000/2001).  They were:Leicester (prem), Norwich (d1), Barnet (d3) and Millwall (d2). p.s. Back to topic - start Martin, give him an hour plus, then give WLY a go from the bench.

Yes definitely, nothing to lose now, theres no way were goin down so lets go for it, Brown and Martin/McVeigh/Jarvis up front and Dublin in defence, and without doubt Marshall has got to start, altho im willing to bet my house that he is anyway, being as tho he''s been given the number 1 shirt and he''s only here on loan, and Gallaghers pretty much dropped himself after last weeks calamity.

Precisely. I think he should play, but for the love of god lets not boo him, or slate him if he plays badly?

I would love to see him start up front but alongside Dion. I think Martin should be given a chance and a prolonged chance to play, not just a fleeting appearance and then dropped again when Shackell is fit - that won''t help his confidence. I think Dion will help him a lot if they play up front together with his leadership skills and experience where as having Martin and Brown together would be a big gamble in my opinion as Brown is so new to the club. Whatever happens - Martin can''t do any worse than Paul McVeigh!!

Yes.I''m in the Martin & Brown, with DD at the back camp (I don''t mean DD is camp!).We''ve been too cautious for too long with too many young prospects. Gee him up and send him out with our blessings. Give him the whole game - unless he gets knackered - and let him know he won''t get subbed early.At least it''s easier to make a debut away from Carrow Road these days!
