I don't think he will be ready for Fleetwood will he? Might be worth sticking him on the bench, which means Ramage then drops off the bench.
we have lots of defensive options now,especially at CB
also leon clarke might be one of the tougher tests we face even if he didnt score and we thrashed his team. dont wanna tempt fate but maybe this back 4 can perform v well for rest of season now.

Martin was excellent first half of the season, but injuries change things unfortunately. Agree with Otis, he'll have to wait for an injury or loss of form to Cargill/Stephens - some continuity at the back would be welcome right now.
Don't we want Burton to fail?
If so, I would suggest MAF, Burge, Bigi, Phillips and Ramage.
That should do them up like a kipper!
Don't want to be negative but they did give Leon 3 absolutely clear cut chances that he should have scored from. Against a poor Bury team, that should be a concern.
very true and thats why i would like to see more of them to see if it was just teething problems and if they are real deal or not
tbf bury should have had 2 pens too,so they need to work on not being naive too
I think Mowbray has considered a back 3 plus wing backs or playing Stephens in front of a back 4 We now have so many options now. Still concerned about forwards though, just think there is too much reliance on Adam Atmstrong, one carrying on scoring, two staying fit and of course not being recalled.
I thought that, he missed 2 absolute sitters but then at 3-0 down after 16 minutes the game is a lot different and we had a new defensive partnership, certain it will improve.
Yes Clarke did have chances but we kept clean sheet. I thought they did well for first game but can't really judge on that. I think Martin won't be used until fully fit and then as a sub if needed unless either or both don't make it

Harsh on Martin, but he is one game too late - for once please TM same 11 starting the next game! Bench for me.
According to the BBC stats, Bury had 14 shots (4 on target).......so certainly room for improvement
What happened to "get a settled back four" and obviously you don't usually change a winning team. we looked composed and the side played with fluency starting with the solid ( apart from 2 chances) back four and a mobile midfield run by JC. I like Martin but would have him on the bench in place of Damage.
same 11 will play fleetwood i think
and smsh them 4-0
if we can take confidence and form into game vs shrews and barnsley then who knows what we can achieve

Depends how fit he is. If he's fully fit, he should come into the starting line up sooner rather than later - has been brilliant this season. If it was reda coming back from injury we wouldn't be having this debate. That said, it's probably worth having another run in the u21's first.

how do you mean we wouldnt be having this discussion if it was reda coming back?
Martin is right-footed and has played either side. He's had a good season but I wouldn't bring him straight back in.
But better than the "Bloody hell, who's fit to play centre back" decisions of recent weeks!
