Until we get a settled back 4 not giving away soft goals any talk of promotion is pie in the sky.

What's the latest on Aaron Martin ffs ! Not a peep about him for weeks
Stokes did ok and cleaned up a lot of mess ups by his line mates. Haynes didn't have a good game but to his credit did save us on a one occasion. As for the other two Ricketts was awful. Yet to see him have a good game at full back (must be noted I haven't seen him play a bad one at centre half). Despite their attacking players all playing well both him and Ramage were more dangerous in our box than any of them.
If Ricketts was to go back to CB, he cannot play with Ramage. It didn't work last week with them both alongside one another with the same feet (I mean right footed players, not just that they both had two feet, although that's debatable.....).
But then that means Stokes would have to play CB and Haynes remain LB. But that didn't work today.
Do think Lorentzon should get a run out next week.
Ha ha ha last season Aaron Martin was shit and everyone wanted rid of him.
just accept our defence has been so disrupted this season it is not going to be water tight.
Would rather have Haynes, Ricketts, Stokes, Lorentzon if Martin isn't available.
No denying he was shit last season. No denying he was a much improved player under Tony Mowbray. No denying our defence looked better with him. But one player doesn't make a team and we should have had better back up options.
If 2 players are around the CB before the pass to him ? Most definitely .Would you rather the ball be lumped down the field to the super tall armstrong so the opposing team can win the header and then come straight back at us?
Fair comment.Until we get a settled back 4 not giving away soft goals any talk of promotion is pie in the sky.
The defence ?
The same defence that is put in trouble all game by garbage passes left and right by RCC, the same defence that panic all the time because they don't trust the guy between the sticks .
We need an experienced keeper before anything at the back right now
We looked really tight with Stokes, Martin, Reda/Turner and Rickets... now we look like we will concede every time a side attacked use. The back four was awful Saturday....
Stokes has been outstanding this season, not really put a foot wrong, you could see his frustration at the weekend
As for the other two Ricketts was awful. Yet to see him have a good game at full back.
Bit harsh that, I thought he was pretty good at RB when we had Reda/Turner and Martin in the middle.
We didn't concede a goal for about 5 or 6 games was it. Oh how I wish we could do that again
Has TM made any recent comments on when he expects Martin to be back in contention? it was originally 3-4 weeks (that was 2 weeks ago) but then Willis has been 4-6 weeks away for the last 5 months!
Stokes comes out with credit wherever he plays. What a find he's proved to be. What contract is he on by the wayAgree. Only one that came out of it with any credit was Stokes.
