I find it utterly baffling that Martin could even think that bringing on Manning is the solution to one of the best full backs in the league getting torn a new one by Fatawu for 60 minutes.
"Eureka! I've got it! I'll switch my best fullback to the other flank and replace him with one of the worst defenders ever to wear a Saints shirt! They won't be expecting that!"
Obvious to most, but not all, it seems.
This is just pathetic tonight. The starting lineup, and the in-game management have been shocking. Martin is out of his depth. He will never get us promoted (can't see us winning the playoffs in this form and with the injuries we've got), so why stick with him?
Just fuck off Saints, you useless bunch of fucking spineless pricks.
Every single fucking one of you out there tonight can just fuck the fuck off.
And as for Martin, you can fuck off even more, just keep fucking off until you can't fuck off any more, and when you get there, fuck off some more.
5 fucking nil.
An utter embarrassment.
Sadly I fear it's going to be a repeat of his previous injury, when he was 'close' every game and then still out for over a month.
I suspect we've already seen him play his last game for us.
We looked so much more dangerous earlier in the season when we had Arma on the right and Fraser/Edozie on the left.
Arma has been so much less effective on the left since Brooks took his place on the right.
What does Martin see in Brooks? Seriously? He has some skills but he's completely disrupted our team and hasn't justified his starting place at all IMO.
FFS Rothwell, if you're not fit enough to play then go down and get the play stopped so you can get treatment. Don't just trot aimlessly about the pitch until you get subbed and leave us effectively a man down.
