    If only nige had the inside knowledge posters on here have on how martin is doing and how fit Campbell is to play and how brilliant Dicko is.

    Martin playing has probably allowed Grosicki and Bowen more freedom to express themselves.

    I don't disagree. Martin clearly has strengths our other strikers don't but Campbell is far more of a goal threat in my eyes which is vital.

    We need someone like him but we also need someone like Campbell.

    Isn't it really strange he is playing Evandro behind the strikers rather that holding midfield role you kept suggesting?

    Pretty sure people can disagree with their manager. The same way you did. But when it's not you it's wrong, but when it's you it's right.

    Just a point on the target man thing. People seem to me, to insist every big lad up front is a hold up/target man and every smaller striker isn't capable of that.

    People on here used to say Abel H couldn't hold the ball up, but he was actually very good at it.

    Martin was decent in the first half on Saturday and poor in the second, the game was crying out for Campbell and you certainly didn't need coaching badges to see it.

    Unless it was tactical, to not bring on Campbell would suggest his hamstring wasn't 100% and Adkins didn't want to risk it.

    If that's the case then he shouldn't have been on the bench

    That's probably something to do with our desperately paper thin squad.

    He was getting ready to come on, then sat back down again and Lichaj came on instead.

    Stick a youth team player on the bench then who he could use. If he wasn't fit enough to come on then he was a complete waste

    Bollocks! If he's not fit enough to come on, he's not fit enough to come on.

    Nigel knows these things.

    Exactly...so if he's not fit enough to come on, he's a waste of a player space on the bench!!

    A centre forward change wouldn’t have made a blind bit of difference. We were over run in midfield.

    I'm sure he could, but he decided he was happy to play for a draw.
