Some players can only be coached so much

Got to remember that Martin was looking like a career league one player before Lambert brought him to Norwich and then worked wonders. He clearly gives it his all but sadly he's just very limited.

Similar can be said about Bennett, I think, although he's a better defender than Martin and his issue is more to do with being in possession.

Brady is a left winger playing out of position, showing a great attitude to it when other players would moan about it. Can't complain about him too much really, but we need another left back to free him up.

These issues aren't really things that can be fixed with training at this stage in these players' careers. It's a more a reflection of a lack of quality and depth in the squad, IMO.

Pinto, who knows? It was his debut, maybe he will improve when he adjusts to the needs of the team.
