Martin Cranie

[Barney]

Defensive genius

 

[LoxBlade]

He really is the reincarnation of Jake Wright

 

[robbiez666]

The guy has been a rock. I prefer him at the back in a defensive capacity to Basham. Doesn't have the same drive going forward but a really clever and highly experienced player.

 

[Chali 2na]

Mr. Clean sheet

 

[Harry's Game]

My MOTM.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Apart from the forest game we haven’t conceded a goal when he’s started, extremely impressive and 5 at the back is perfect for him.

 

[bigbirdblade]

Not bad for a squad player eh. Saw him at the Middlesbrough game and he was immense.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Games like this you need experience, one moment when MC gave it away but overall sound performance

 

[BushBlade]

Amazing story. Came in as cover and has forced his way into the first team. Exactly the kind of character Wilder looks for.

 

[Seanshoreham]

Really getting to like him - another Wilder gem

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I know Wilder said contract talks are done til end of season, but surely there's time in the international break and a few quid somewhere that they can find to secure Cranie for longer.

 

[Smirth]

He’s the new Jake Wright.

Outstanding work from a player in the twilight of his career and arguably playing the best football of it!

 

[AWetFlannel]

More composed today than Egan, so calm on the ball, making correct decisions every time.

Truly fantastic form from the lad, has been defensively better than Basham.

 

[blademark]

My MOTM.

And mine, slightly ahead of Enda.

 

[Harry's Game]

And mine, slightly ahead of Enda.

Stevens was superb as well.

 

[S64 Blade]

*Whispers it quietly* I prefer him to Basham at RCB.

 

[Tazzy]

Showed his class when he shielded the ball back to the keeper

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Defensive genius

Was awesome today Barney, good call.

 

[EmleyMoorBlade]

So cool and calm under pressure
Just remember he cost a grand total of £0 !
Another inspired piece of transfer business by Wilder & Knill
UTB

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Cranie was also my MOTM today. I actually thought Baldock was outstanding too though, everyone’s talking about Stevens but they got in down that side a few times in the first half. Cranie and Baldock didn’t let them have a sniff down their side (granted Bash helped them out and is stronger than the support JOC and Stevens had from Fleck).

 

[Karaoke Blade]

How we gonna squeeze Bash into next line up? Can't see him playing in midfield at home against Bristols. Can we drop Crainie? Perhaps we can play goaly wag.
