Brown and Martin gone

[Chicken Balti Pie]

Martin only started playing well when it was time for contract renewal. Early on in the season he was awful, it's not match fitness he gained as he hadn't really played that much so either at the beginning he wasn't motivated or he is only motivated for a new contract. With that in mind, probably best to pass

Feel bad for Martin, he was just starting to find his feet. He looked a much better bet at no.10 than Grant, who really has to start showing something of note soon surely.

How many games has Grant played as a No.10 for us? We have got to stop writing players off after a handful of appearances.

On a separate note, I see that Gordon is now the mystery injury. Mind you, Sam Austin has seized his chance superbly, which is exactly what you want from the squad.

I didn?t mean to appear like I was writing him off?.at times he has shown some nice interplay and speed of thought but his actions are so far never really impactful, which isn?t great for a no.10. I?m not sure how many times he?s played that position, it won?t have been many with Crowley fit or because of his injury I suppose so maybe now with a run of games he will start to settle into the side a bit better.

Football is pretty ruthless though and if one of the new guys comes straight in and does make an impact he could be struggling for game time in that no.10 role again.

Did you see the misplaced pass George Abbott made in his first game? I think he also made another in his tenth game.

Waste of a squad place.

Abbots prime example of waiting to see what they will do over a few games.
A very young player that we brought in very late in the transfer window and I don?t think many including me were hanging our hats on him but blimey what a signing that lad has been.

Quite a few actually NW
Agree with Tsanho, our standard for a regular start in a No. 10 shirt cannot be 'a few nice touches' if we're serious about promotion.

From whoever gets that shirt we need goals, assists, shots on target, shots off target, key passes, dribbles, we can't only ask that of Didzy.

Yes i feel the same about Grant, though he was not to bad today, still not confinced about him on matches he as played in this season.

I agree with Warsop that giving him a 4 month extension might have made sense.
We do now seem to have a lot of coverage in that area though.
It is possible of course that Josh wanted more than that. He is now available to other clubs and was prepared to take a chance?? MK Dons??😊
I wish we had kept him on whilst the other lads settle in.

Martin had one good game, away at Cheltenham. Not good enough really for an extension. Maybe he was asked to play at Cheltenham in a different position to the other games he had played in?? If that was the case beggars belief as to why he wasn't given a longer run in that position.
Obviously the coaching team see him every day in training
