As for captain, I'm still not sure. The man who would have been captain threw in the towel and wants to leave the club four weeks into the season. Hardly a ringing endorsement of his leadership skills. Who else do you want? A lot would have said Martin, but you've said you wouldn't have extended his contract, so clearly not him. We started with a few really wobbly performances, but seeds sown in pre-season don't necessarily flower in March.

Unrecognisable from the Saints game. Martin goes missing again in a game... doesn;t offer much apart from goal kicking for me. Never really rated him. Poor skill level on show by most of the team, like ptb. As said, the halves just go missing. My expectations for the season were somewhat raised after the Saints game which was a great effort. Add into the mix the Leeming situation... Nearly as depressing as watching Eng v France last Saturday! As for the Olpherts effort... an 80 year old granny could have caught that and score... catch it and fall over the line....
