Sheaf Saint

I'm with you on this. I just can't see us progressing with him still in charge, persisting with his stubborn insistence that propaganda possession football will see us through. Clearly it won't because it gets ruthlessly exposed any time we come up against a half decent opponent, and Russ has proven beyond any doubt that he is utterly incapable of identifying what is going wrong in-game and making changes to adapt to the opposition tactics. That is a serious failing that, if it continues, will see us always flirting near the top but never seriously competing for title/auto-promotion. He won't change. He's made that clear on multiple occasions. It's his way or the highway, and he's far too pig-headed to accept that maybe, just maybe, his system isn't perfect and that it needs to be tweaked from time to time in order to overcome a particular type of threat. He's learned no lessons over the course of a whole season with this team and continues to repeat the same mistakes week in, week out. So either we somehow manage to win the playoffs and go up, where his style of play will get ruthlessly punished like it was against Leicester last night, and we'll probably end up beating the 9-0 records; or we lose out and remain in this division next season with a weakened squad. Either way, Russell Martin is not the right man to take us forward, so I would be looking to replace him at the end of the season with a more flexible, competent tactical manager.

If it was Vardy's then he should get a medal instead of a retrospective red card.

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!"

And yet none of Leicester's goals came as a result of poor distribution from McCarthy.

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.

Fatawu had four players around him - four - and still got that shot away. Fucking pathetic defending. Shameful.

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.

Finally the ref gets his cards out.

I don't. Reckon I'm gonna switch it off and watch the snooker instead.

He literally ducked under Ndidi.

Fucksake. Awful defending. That was from our own throw in as well.

Manning on for Bree, KWP going to the right I guess.

It's still never really punished though is it. Plus, that wasn't even shoulder to shoulder, he simply got to the ball before Brooks did.

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.
