Speaking on the goalkeeping situation during pre-season, Martin said: “I think you need to have two good goalkeepers, ideally three at a club like this.
“I think it's the same as any position. We'll keep assessing what they can do, what they can't do.
“We have two good goalkeepers, we're fortunate with that.
“But if there's someone who's desperate to play here and we think they can help us, it's the same at any position.
“As long as it doesn't affect other things in the balance of the squad, then we'll always look to it.
“But at the minute I've been happy with the two guys (Butland and Kelly).”
