I wonder how much as a striker being through like Sesko was "it's Martinez in goal" plays a part psychologically compared to if it was Olsen or Bizot in goal.

Think it has a lot to do with it, Martinez would have instilled instant doubt for Sesko, as in there's a giant in front of me, on the other hand he would have been told to pummel Olsen for fun.

I wonder if he is still entertaining thoughts of traveling up the M6.
We desperately need him for the rest of the season.

I'm at about 75% forgiveness with a 90% ceiling. If he takes me out for dinner we can work through the rest of this.

In superb form. Need him to be for the rest of the season and we'll see where his head is in the summer.

Win a trophy and he’ll be fully forgiven.

He has to punch that even though he was fouled.

Needs extra time at BH practicising corners.

He may well think it's unfair that the rules of engagement seem to have changed at corners but he needs to adapt to it.

Teams have worked it out, and now they'll all be standing around him and dropping balls onto his head on the six-yard line.  He needs to figure it out at BH, because he fixes it, or we concede a lot more from corners before the season finishes.

I think we’re going to start seeing players taking a few punches to the head now it’s open season.
