Nathan Wood the latest player to voice his support of Martin in the media. I suppose they feel they have to. When they make mistakes, and I've lost count of how many they've made, Martin praises their 'bravery'. Another manager would probably kick their arses and double up on their training to eradicate those mistakes. Small wonder they're happy having easy-going Martin at the helm. That said, the lads are to be congratulated on a much improved display yesterday. It was good to see and well done to them. Some stats:
POSSESSION: 58-42 SHOTS: 17-6 OT: 6-3 CORNERS: 3-7 FOULS: 14-6 PASSES: 580-416 TOUCHES OPPO BOX: 31-15 GOALS: 2-0
Our foul count was over twice theirs which surprised me. Were we under that much pressure? As for Liam, he gets another unspectacular goal but it still counted. No team can be without a Cullen-type player and note that it was yet another one-touch finish, an undisputable mark of a natural striker. Russell Martin, please NOTE!!
