My guess is that he pushed to leave as he didn’t fancy another season in the Championship !!
Knowing that he had a healthy value it put Saints in a quandary, keep an unhappy player or take good money for him…
FFS, I’ve had a season ticket throughout and every time I’m away I miss a load of matches, this one included 😞
I reckon that I will have seen about 10 out of 23 which is lousy value however you look at it ! Bollox, bollox, bollox 😿
Take away the month of August which threw up so many uncertainties due to transfer speculation etc.. and we would be up there with the other two !
It’s difficult to attribute those games directly to Martin as he was taking stock of the situation much of which was out of his hands..
The 24 game undefeated run was pretty impressive and he deserves credit for that !
I agree that we’ve had some very entertaining matches and it’s been a pleasure to go to St Mary’s this season 👊
Just watched the penalty again on YouTube and there’s no way he could get that power into the shot if he scuffed it off two feet at the same time ! There was nothing wrong with it ✔️
Nobody mentioned “tactical genius” and my response was to the comment “the idiot’s needless substitutions” !
A player was brought on, scored two goals which won us the game therefore it worked well. Most substitutions are a “roll of the dice”, that’s the way it goes !
Had we lost or drawn the manager would have been lambasted but we won and he’s still criticised, he just can’t win with some folks !!
3 points
4 goals
good subs
Enjoyed the game but having just scrolled through this thread I realise just how thick some of the posters are !
Concede 2 goals and the manager should be sacked, you couldn’t make it up….
