The Russell Martin is wonderful thread

[A4Jack]

Let's start it.

Had a tough start, but the form and performances we've seen in the last few weeks surpasses expectation and he is certainly delivering well above where I expected this season.

The balance we have of attacking flair and defensive solidity is so encouraging, as is the core of the team and the balance.

Trying not to get carried away, but it's all so encouraging.

You watch the way we played at times in that first half (and bits of the second) and wonder why the hell people still pine after the previous two years.

Still early days in the project, but massively encouraging.

Let's take it easy. By all means enjoy a great away win. But let's just remember how bonkers this league is.

Entertaining possession based football with some attacking flair.

I could get used to this.

Very early days and no doubt we will see more Preston and Birmingham's but 4 wins out of 5 and the confidence is flowing.

The control is the most pleasing part

He'll take us up

It's entirely possible that we'll go to Bournemouth on Sat and lose by two or three, especially given their quality and our workrate second half, which will no doubt bring the ghouls out.

The trajectory is upwards however. That's the main thing.

Sounds a bit Spanish, that - Ruasell.

He's his own man,a touch of quiet arrogance dare I say. But there is a definite whiff of Brenda about him.

 

[PSumbler]

Enjoyable to watch, scoring goals, passing well, playing good football.

Bring back Steve Cooper, I slept more then

Oh he loves himself....but then Brendan, Wenger, Shankly, Sir Alex, Clough all did too.

Frank Burrows made me giggle with some of his quotes as did Carvahal.

Gibbs-White came back to haunt him tonight.
