Russ Martin -woeful defender

[grefstad 0]

Russ Martin, the master if standing off. Allowing every attacker a free run at him. Back off, back off is his mantra. Truly a pathetic defender. Norfolk Cafu, my a$$.

Joe Yobo back next week, Martin a poor CB, as RB not as ccrap as Whittaker so RB next week.

[GJP 79]

Shouldn''t have played as many games as he has. Rarely better than average at rb or cb.

Who''s the alternative though? Whittaker, now he is terrible. At least you know what you get with Martin - a "6" perhaps a "7" every now and then

[GJP 79]

Haven''t seen many 6 or 7 showings from Martin. 5 at best most of the time.

I''ve seen mostly 6''s this season

[GJP 79]

Generous.

I think Russ is better at RB than CB, not much in between him and Whitaker, who used to look pretty handy. Shame.

Class wise he would be better off back at Peterborough his true level , but he''s another Mr Nice Guy and the bumpkins always fall head over heels for one of them .

Agreed unfortunately when we are in the championship he will be average and standoff he has no composure headless chicken

[damn that Ralph Coates! 47]

who is going to captain side next season?

[City 2nd 191]

[quote user="mrs miggins"]Who''s the alternative though? [/quote]In Central Defense - Bennet or Bassong.

Next!

Bassong''s absence can no longer go on unexplained. We can all surmise whether its to do with fitness or attitude on these message boards, but it needs asking directly of Adams at a press conference now.

How bad can he possibly be that he can''t get in THIS defence?!?........here we are battling against relegation and the team captain is nowhere to be seen, ....can''t be swept under the carper any longer.

oh, and if the local press do muster the bottle to ask the question...ask about Hoolahan and Pilkington whilst you''re at it..
