    Maybe if he could have just concentrated on his own game instead of trying to bail the others out too he might have fared better.

    Nah, for a big lad he’s knocked off the ball often too easily, and is easily ‘tricked’ and out-paced. His attitude and commitment are spot on and should never be questioned. However, I hope he is replaced as our experienced guy next season

    Yeah but I think as most fans are saying, and Martin himself might think it as well.
    That maybe now is the right time to move on, but obviously, good luck to him. :)

    Remember going down to Plymouth midweek many years ago and Disco scored a worldy of a long range goal in a 4-2 win. Think he scored twice.

    As he hit the ball from getting on 30 yards I was screaming at him to pass thinking he can't score from there!
    The ball flew in the top corner and showed what I know about football.

    I'm few weekends later I bumped into Disco on a night out in town and told him the story. It gave him a great laugh and he just replied "honestly I was just as surprised as you"

    Great bloke, Amazing servant, Forever a Red.

    Go well Disco.

    No point in hiring a manager and not letting him have what he feels he needs.
