Works hard, breaks up play and wins the ball - didn’t they sign Madsen to do the rest I.e create and score goals - that’s the bit that’s not working |

No need to - as I said he’s improving but perhaps we have different views on the finished article - let’s hope he proves you right. |

His presence was essential against a side like Watford - he stopped our attack from being bullied out of the game - we have missed his physical presence since his injury when we play big defenders.
That said it shows our current weakness up front that he is probably the best we have. |

He’s improving and although his cross led to Fields goal his final pass still needs to be more consistent and so does his finishing. His pace causes defences problems but still not sure he’s the answer. |

Thought he done well enough today. Watford are a physical side and I thought he stood his ground, Won the ball a number of times and found someone in a hopped shirt. Alongside Field they held their own. |

Problem is with the players currently at his disposal don’t think any system would work.
The injury list doesn't help but nothing shown so far indicates that the signings have been good enough.
All of us have the same unanswered question as to who was responsible for bringing them in. Is Marti having to play the hand that he’s been dealt or has he been a part of signing players that just aren’t good enough.
At the moment we have not one decent striker, poor full backs, a midfield that doesn’t gel and central defenders Cookie and JCS who only seem consistent when both are playing together as soon as one is out the defence crumbles.
Not looking good at all and the summer recruitment doesn’t inspire a great deal of confidence for incoming players in the January window - and it might be too late by then anyway. |

Two strikers are not enough. Even last year they bought in Frey as a third striker. We have now parted company with two of those and bought in one.
Having players that are not recognised as strikers trying to operate as such is not sufficient. One injury to one of those two players is almost inevitable.
Do you really want to wait to the January window to have to fire fight when insufficient number of strikers has always led to a problem in the past.
Midfield players and we have bucket loads of them are not in my opinion the answer. |

Seems to me more down to an inconsistent referee. Let far more dissent go than that shown by Colback unfortunately standard of refs in the championship pretty poor in my opinion. |

Was he really such a liability as suggested. Marti has come in for a lot of praise on this board and rightly so but chose to strengthen other areas in the team rather than the goalkeeper. He’d watched all the other games before taking over so would have seen his performances. The article is about reviewing this season- what happens next year is a different topic. Personally have seen a lot worse keepers down the bush over the years . As an ex keeper have never seen the sense of making a keeper captain but there have been a few high profile ones. |

In my time the departures of Marsh, Parkes, Bowles, Seaman, Roeder, Fenwick, Parker ,Ferdinand and more recently Taraabt, Austin and Eze have all been disappointing especially for what we received for many of them but in line with the words of the song the first cut is the deepest and the loss of Marsh was probably the one that lingers with me the longest. |

May not have been as talented as some who have worn the hoops but always gave his all unlike many of those more talented players. Squads depend on players like him. Good luck to wherever he ends up. |

To be honest thought it was more about the striker than the keeper.It should have been hit low into the corner not near enough straight at the keeper but he made the save . |

Trouble is it hasn’t been dealt with for a number of years now - you’re more confident than I am that they will deal with it. We’ve still got six to go can’t rely on defenders in all those but it looks like we will have to. |

True but how many times have our players mucked up that simple cross/pass. |

Mainly because we would have closed the gap on Huddersfield which drawing didn’t do |
