Martin has a massive steadying influence on the team when at 6, we really missed his presence in his absence and I'm sure he will be invaluable on the training pitch. With him JD and Drew we have 3 great leaders for the youngsters to learn off, with the likes of Moore, Grix, Stosic, Bibey, Latu, Peterson and to a now lesser extent Rooney missing tonight it shows the strength in depth we posess that so many dismissed us as having.

Totaly agree Upton, its one of the best learning centres around to those who mocked the siging of Tony Martin and Brad Drew

Drew as being a class act this season also looks fitter than he did at any time last season

Martin just looks a totally different player at 6 if he stays fit I can not see Rooney winning his place back

For me it just goes tro show that Drew and Brough still havent learnt to play together. Danny just doesnt seem to be on the ball just yet . JK to Danny off and Brad came on and the magic happened. Brad was fantastic again lastnight, he seems to give out a signal to the rest of the team and they all seem to respond to him been on the field and just gel together to make an unstopable team. Well done Brad kleep it up

Drew had an unsettled season last year and struggled to come back from injury. This year he has come in fresh and looks quality. Brough this year has had an unsettled start and is struggling to get into it. Hopefully with a bit of time and an injury free run they will form a strong partnership.

Couldn't see that, Brough played OK and Drew brilliant.

Despite his age Wakey would be foolish not to sign Drew up for next season - players with such a brilliant footballing brain and experience are as rare and valuable as gold-dust

I agree, Drew could never get into it last season through no fault of his own. New club, new partnerships, then a long term injury, couple games, then had to fly back home and players out.

We're seeing the true Brad Drew, who has benefitted from a good off season and is settled in our structures of play and fingers crossed will continue to play like last night.

Brough has alot to offer us and although he isn't on the money right now, given a couple more games and he'll show his worth. The lad has quality and if he keeps his emotions in check he'll do a job

Drew is a class player & played accordingly,We need to extend is contract ASAP regardless of is age what does overs think

The game changed when Brad came on.

Was just about to say exactly the same thing. He was superb last night.

I also thought Sam Obst was top draw too.

Great team performance and excellent result.
