Page & Aluko looked very good for me. Probably the standouts of that half.

I wonder whether Martin is assigning a different Captain each half to give them a taste of responsibility in order to drive standards. That might appear to align with what we've read about his approach so far.

I thought Faes looked like he was just going through the motions in that game. Not really engaged or striving to show his value or leadership, complete opposite to the youngsters. Awful example to those players around him.

It’s the right approach to drive high selling price as much as we absolutely can. The club has massive financial challenges and we also need to rebuild the squad. It’s going to be an exercise in brinkmanship and I’m sure we’ll see plenty of turbulence ahead of us.

I’ll have a tenner on him not making it through the preseason games and being injured for the opening Northampton game.

If he's questioning the professionalism and ability of some of the squad I can't wait to hear how he feels about the board-level management as he gets to know them. That's gonna blow his socks off I would imagine. And not in a good way either.

I'd be very surprised indeed if he is with us this season. He is a saleable asset and I expect we would very much want to get his wage off of the books.

Oh please please please let’s have this sung loud & proud at the first home game!

Still here because nobody thinks he is worth the wages he is on. And to be fair, they’re absolutely right.

Not a fan of This appointment myself, but I genuinely hope he does well & is able to rebuild this club & reverse the spectacular decline we’ve been witnessing the last few years.

I fear we’ll still be lumbered with several of the big earners like Vestergaard, Winks, Faes because they simply do not warrant the wages they are on so potential suitors will be extremely difficult to find.

Not sure what disappoints me most, Martin getting the job, or people on here believing that Rudkin actually provided a quote.

If he wins games then he can talk as much shit as he wants. But I have to smile at those warnings we are being given about conceding soft goals from playing out from the back, as if we haven’t been doing precisely that for the last two seasons anyway.

Probably be the bloke who runs the canteen at the King Power building in Thailand.

I would add that the evidence tells us that we don't have a squad who are fit for purpose for Premiership or Championship football either!
