Has Martin turned the corner and we should support him?

Dropped or rotated?

 

No one can be expected to play 50+ games, especially early on in careers when you have a squad of 25 players.

I’m totally aware about the need to rotate players but all you have to do is read Russell’s comments about the age of our players.

 

When we had that awful run of results at our first 3 game match week, he couldn’t wait to bring in the “experienced” players.

 

Any starting 11 that includes both Cullen and Reid is hideous with two anonymous and ghostesque players.

 

If we went with your rotation logic, that’s poor planning that you include them both and leave out the legs of Braybrooke/Alves etc.

Going to need a couple more convincing wins before I can truly believe we have turned the corner….

I do think the overall fitness is improving, along with having players like Braybrooke/Alves/Doyle into the team. It shows what a lot of late signings does to the balance and match fitness/sharpness.

Nice to (finally) win back to back league games obviously but to be 10th in the third tier by the mid-latter part of October as promotion favourites just shows how poor a start we've had. Also facts like the team has yet to  truly gel, Martin still doesn't know or hasn't been able to play his best side, while playing his questionable style of football in League One team still doesn't sit well with most of us so far. Also rotation is another factor in his methodology I suppose. As others have said then the last two teams we beat, we should be doing so by cricket score lines, the latest win is probably the one from all of them so far that we should be winning by that scoreline with our eyes closed versus a team who were still in the Conference League South whilst we were winning the Prem. Still somewhat surreal to think....! As others have said he still needs another couple or three consecutive wins to convince most of us the tide has turned I feel....starting with an awkward looking trip to Luton on Saturday, with the easiest one on paper (Wigan at home), sandwiched between another homer v Stevenage, a team who we've already lost to of course....

He's on probation for me. He has to keep pushing us up the table.
