And Its Smith Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 No surprise at all. Pearson is a big fan Last week he was asked how he thought a couple of players had performed (can’t remember who) and he replied saying he thought Chris Martin was excellent! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GrahamC Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Would presume his original 2 year deal contained an extension clause in it based on appearances, which seeing as he has been in the squad for 100% of our league games (yes, but Dave Rennie is no better than Andy Rolls ) he has easily achieved. Deserves it, the debate about having an alternative to him isn’t his issue, it’s the club’s. 28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Probably one of our better performers this season, not that that's saying much. Hopefully he becomes a bit more of a squad player next year with a new striker coming in but money is pretty tight... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not really a surprise. He's making a useful contribution, seems to enjoy it here and Pearson obviously likes him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gol Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 good news has done well when not being flogged to death. Hopefully get another striker in to rotate with as he cannot do 2 games a week 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Good news if he is going to be used as a rotation/squad player. Bad news if he is to be used every single game in 2022/23 and if that's the case I fear the Summer ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 He has always held the option to extend his 2 year contract for a further year so this is obviously not a surprise I still feel like he is flogged too much sometimes, he doesn't need to start every game with Wells in the background 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 This is good, aren’t we 4th top goal scoring team? He’s been a part of that all season. I’d be okay with it if our attack stays the same in the summer. We just need to fix the defence 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Don’t know how anyone can not see that this makes complete sense in literally every way. Played loads of minutes, scored really important goals, key player from defending set pieces (even though he shouldn’t be), and an extremely experienced pro that’ll help the youngsters. Would cost a pretty penny trying to replace him if we were to let him go. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserves it, the debate about having an alternative to him isn’t his issue, it’s the club’s. Can't help but feel that we would do better with him in more of a latter Wilbraham role, 20 mins at the end, off the bench when the opposition are tiring. Seems like a similarly model professional. Used more sparingly I suspect we would get more goals and his career could go on quite a bit longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 17 minutes ago, The hand of RO'D said: This screams to me that we won’t be spending any money this summer. Certainly not on a striker. I expect our forwards to be Weimann, Martin, Conway, plus two of Wells, Semenyo and Janneh depending on who leaves (ideally Wells to save the wages). The little money we spend I expect us to spend on defenders. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Deserved. Our front line is the reason we'll survive this season, not doing much wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin for life Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Makes sense. Good team player, not on a huge wage, settled at the club, not injury prone and happy to fight for his place. He's been reliable for us and although we would rather a more natural striker, he has earned the extension. Whether hes a starter or back up next season, it was a low risk decision and a sensible one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Decent player, does a decent job, and I have no problem with that. I would be surprised if he played as much next season, but then I don't really expect us to bring anyone in up top, unless one of Semenyo or Wiemann go. If Wells goes, then maybe a younger player, maybe from League 1, but the rest of the savings on Wells' wage would be better spent elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
