Never said he was more defensive than Yacob, just that he does good defensive work

Barely scores or assists so I would say that his ability to win the ball back and pass it on would be his main reason for getting a game.

what the fuck was that, Martin was terrible but only one person to blame that's neil (NCFC) - yellows2011, Jan 23, 17:18:27
- impossible to change at 3-1 they scored from the kick off. (NCFC) - harry boulders, Jan 23, 17:30:57
  - we actually had a really good counterattacking chance just before they scored (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 23, 17:35:30
  - and then had the moral upper hand as a result (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:35:09
- Mulumbu is not a CDM. He hasn't featured much since coming back from injury (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:23:46
  - Pretty sure he is predominantly a defensive midfielder (n/m) (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:29:19
    - Box to box player. Yacob was (and still is) the CDM for WBA (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:30:29
      - Thought they both played deep. Did pretty well defensively regardless (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:34:59
        
        In fact if you read that, the stats back me up (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:52:48

        Being a good passer isn't all about assists (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:12:34
        
        Yeah. Been a big disappointment this season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:18:27
        
        Hopefully we'll actually get to see him show it on the pitch at some point (n/m) (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:16:06
        
        Don't disagree that he's a good tackler (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:43:45
        
        Well as a good tackler he'd have been a big improvement (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 23, 18:11:47
        
        Yeah I don't disagree with that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:14:05
        
        So you wouldn't say his contribution is mainly defensive? (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 17:57:13
        
        He's an all around mf player (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:05:21
        
        Just a bit worrying that he's not getting a game in this situation (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:08:51
        
        I don't think we can afford to loan anymore players out (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:15:54
        
        Did you see him in Man City Cup game? (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:19:46
        
        No I didn't see the game (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:22:46
        
        Hopefully he will come back in at some point, like Vadis, and take his chance (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:25:51
        
        Yeah, he was excellent from 2010-2014 (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:29:31
        
        Agree on Vadis, thought he may be able to play CM but clear that's not possible (NCFC) - Dr Baker, Jan 23, 18:32:50
        
        We need a couple more in the Tettey/GON mould (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 18:43:58
        
        That was why I thought SAN bought him. But he doesn't seem to rate him much (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:58:46
  - Would off sat in midfield rather than putting Jarvis and olly on (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jan 23, 17:29:06
    - His game is about pressing high up the pitch, winning the ball and making runs (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:32:20
      - Tetts and GON are our defensive midfielders. Clearly we need some backup in future (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 23, 17:35:50
      - An extra body is centra midfield is what we nedded (NCFC) - hoolahan, Jan 23, 17:34:53
        
        I do understand and agree with that point (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 23, 17:40:36
