This is our worldy wise manager talking about Chris Martin...
“I keep saying to him, it's an all-time thing, not when you feel like it,” said Grant. “I mean that to be the best, you've got to do it constantly. It can't be 'Once I've done something well, the next 20 minutes I'll do absolutely nothing'.
“I look at Rochdale and he offered us nothing - absolutely nothing.
“He let himself down playing in what he would say is his ideal position, so there are times when you have to get into games, you have to grasp that moment.”
So, Chris Martin has been the ONLY player this season who has:-
"...done nothing for 20 minutes.."?
"...offered us nothing, absolutely nothing..."?
"...let himself down..."?
Fucking nonsense Grant. How many other players can you same the same sort of thing about, quite a few I think you'll find-lots of players that have been picked and hidden, lots that have offered nothing-or worse-lots that have let themselves and the team down.
Some of them are in every week, all of them have played more games than Martin.
Yes, way to go, slag slag slag the younger players, any excuse hey, dent their confidence, make them feel as if you're not bothered or interested and just toddle along using your mates.
Fuck knows why Spillane was dropped for Scunny, you know though, don't you?
Surprised you haven't had a poke at Jarvis for that game, or is it just personal with Martin and Huckerby then?
Sorry, I'm normally the "mild mannered janitor" on this board, but you, Sir, offend me. Kindly leave.
