Phew what a let-off. Not confident going forward though.

Russell has fucked it again with his subs 😒

Here we go...

0-0 borefest. If this is the intensity we're playing at for the rest of the season, I can't see us winning many.

It's going to be a long month while we watch the three teams above us battle it out for autos. Given our circumstances in January, our current position is an utter failure.

Nothing to play for with 8 games still to play. Disgrace.

He doesn't get into any of the top 6 in this league. And he was signed as a Premier League starter. Absolute embarrassment for our recruitment.

This is why I'm worried about the play-offs. Can't kill a game.

He will be joined by Craig Fleming and also his son Patrick who had to hang his boots up at just 26 due to health problems. Big career step for them both. https://www.vfl-wolfsburg.de/en/newsdetails/news-detail/detail/news/new-assistant-coaches-appointed

8 games in April seems likely now. Even if we do take it to the last day at Elland road, we'll be knackered and the last thing we want is fatigue and injuries just before the play-offs.

No we're judging him by his actions and debating whether we think he was justified in snubbing the other teams goalkeeper. I've already explained why I don't think he was justified. He's left his reasoning down to speculation, but you say it was because he thought he was a "cunt". Okay, if that's the case, he must have had a good reason but I just haven't found it yet. Time wasting isn't a good reason. He didn't snub the Huddersfield goalkeeper for instance. So then you have to wonder what was so different this time. I suspect it was because things didn't go our way this time. Don't get too high when you win and don't get too low when you lose. Leave that to the fans. You'll have to elaborate on that one.

I must be in the minority that still values leaving any differences on the pitch and shaking your opponents hand at the end. You can change the narrative if you want but I'm very, very careful what I post. I mean what I write. Nothing more, nothing less. No hidden meanings. If you want to know how I feel Russell's getting on this season, read the Russell Martin thread.

Why did he think he was a cunt though? For time wasting like every other goalkeeper that comes to St. Mary's does? He wasn't even the worst we've seen this season. I had sympathy when Wayne Bridge didn't want to shake John Terry's hand. Now that was justified and the reason was clear. He's representing a professional football club in the capacity of first team manager. If you're going to make a statement on the pitch and snub your opponent in front of the cameras, you better make sure it isn't for some petty reason. Strikes me as someone that can't keep a level head.

I think that's very generous. He has the 3rd (some might argue 2nd) best squad in the league sitting in 4th. Of course there are other factors at play and there are certainly facets of his management he's done very well in like man management and implementing his methods for instance (although personally I think his football philosophy is fundamentally flawed). I would argue Leeds started the season equally as unsettled as us (new manager and losing players but, unlike us, without decent fees) so while it's a valid point to make, it isn't true to say we were the only unsettled side going for promotion at the start of the season. You could argue he's settled the ship and he deserves praise for that but I would categorise that as a minimum expectation. Do I see what he's done as an over-achievement? Not really.
