Rumour has it that Jose dropped the pen on his foot when signing the new contract! Or that he was rested to prevent a fifth yellow card stopping him from playing against Brighton.
no martin is assasinating all the CBs so he can play more reguarly First Jaidi went down, Then Seaborne was assasinated now Fonte has hurt his toe - Martin is a hitman ready to get anyone who stands in his way
Martin said after the game how disappointed the team was and that they would be keen to set that right on Monday at Brighton (where I think he may play again). Incidentally he also said that Jos, Raidi and Jose were great mentors too him and helping him improve his game.
adkins said fonte should be OK for Brighton, but I don't think he will play either personally but Martin looked much more composed than he did against Leeds, and the experience said players bring to him will be valuable - he is a player who has potential, and is always improving
