Martin is Vale future - Adams

Martin had been an ever-present between the sticks for Vale since Joe Anyon broke his leg last March, even restricting Anyon to a substitutes' role upon his return to full fitness.But a run of three defeats in four games convinced Adams to freshen things up for Tuesday's 4-0 romp over Lincoln, although the Vale boss is adamant 19-year-old Martin has a role to play at the club."We're pleased for Joe because he's had his problems," said Adams in The Sentinel. "He's been unlucky this season because we've had a fantastic young keeper come through the ranks and his recall was no slight on Chris."But when you concede goals you have to look at everything and that's no criticism of him. We've looked slightly nervous at home recently so I wanted to freshen it up. But we think a lot of Chris and he'll be the future of the club."Both keepers are out of contract in the summer but Adams has already stressed his desire to offer Martin new terms.
