No. He’s recognised that himself. I’m saying it’s an odd argument to make considering our results with the other approach were also good.

We got exactly the same outcomes against the same teams earlier in the season.

"You’re some people on an internet message board"

Hey fella, I thought it was a daft idea before yesterday, during yesterday and today. Don’t care if it’s you or Martin suggesting it. Sorry, what? Yes, that’s my point.

You aren’t the majority fella 😂 You’re some people on an internet message board who have whipped yourselves into a frenzy and convinced each other you’ve cracked football and the solution is so so simple. Like Dibling starting up front for example.

We agreed a fee for Delap and he turned us down. We’ve gone big for him for quite a few years now. Everytime we did this place had a meltdown over our attempts to go big for him. So don’t talk shite.

You lot are weird. Newly promoted team struggles, it’s hardly the most shocking thing is it. Not everything needs to be ripped up. Biggest issue is the constant team changing, that’s on the manager but having an huge squad doesn’t lend itself to clarity. I criticised the idea of playing a team of new players on here a while back and didn’t like it yesterday. Massively improved when Aribo was on who suits our game much better than LU right now. But either way, as I’ve said in here a while now, we are going to lose games, the first half yesterday was worse than that but if anyone thinks there’s a magic selection, formation, manager or whatever else that stops us losing regularly in this league they are deluded. You 100% can start badly in this league and survive, but our best way of doing that is by gradual improvements rather than ripping everything up. Also, anyone who thinks a new manager is taking over with our October is sorely mistaken.

As you all continue your melt down over Martin there’s 5 other managers without a win in the PL this season. All with various experiences, tactics, beards and reputations on here.

Brighton don’t need anyone to deliver them a promotion though do they. Anyway, I was being flippant because a lot of posts on here about Martin are obsessed with his CV being a mid table Championship manager and yet will happily call for Corberan or even Eustace in this instance.

Reckon the lad who got Southampton promoted last year is a better bet than two people who don’t have that on their CV imo.

Think this is a bit over the top (although I am one who believed he was over rated) but the biggest thing it sums up is the squad we had previously was really bad. At no point were we in any position to think about subbing him off and other clubs are happily shipping him off.

State of you Neither of those were massive calls ffs. One was obvious from about a week into LAST season and the other was a last minute deal after other deals on both sides didn't work out. Love your recent Dibling new contract post too. Really insightful stuff that. 18 year old kid who starts getting into the first team triggers a new contract shock. Look forward to you dining out on that one in the next week or two.

Yes, there are only two options. Either I've closely followed every B team match or I've just made it up. There is no other conceivable reason as to why I might think Tyler Dibling is a wide player or central midfielder. None at all. Oh by the way, you're entitled to be dissatisfied and nobody said anything about following stuff like a sycophant but if you continue to post stupid stuff people will probably call you out on it.

Stick an 18 year old in a position he's never played before in his first season as a first team player to keep a promoted side up. You keep spending your day telling the professional football manager with a promotion on his CV how he sets his team up all wrong pal whilst also pleaing that "all sides have their merit" at the very top of this page

It's utterly unhinged that people think players passing to the opposition is a system issue. Like there is an alternative system that guarantees Ramsdale/any keeper will find his target every time. If you actually want a "system" that guarantees that it's going to involve a lot of passes to Bednarek in the 6 yard box. Talking of utterly unhinged, we spent the first 30 minutes of the game yesterday under pressure and the only thing that got us back into the game was actually passing the ball around the back. The moment we stopped doing that was at the end of the game when we came under pressure again. If we actually stuck to the "system" properly we'd be a lot better off.

Few days earlier than last years effort which included a wonderful "Leeds will give us a pasting" comment. Found this too, sad to the love die 💔

Did people expect us to be racking up points in this league or something? Worst team in it last time we were here and worst team to come up last season. Not sure what people think has drastically changed to think this year wouldn't be a struggle. The good news is the season is long, we're competitive and would be closer to picking up points if we could score massive chances we've got in every game bar one so far and you really don't need to start well in this league to stand a chance of staying in it (as proven quite a lot by other teams/seasons and us before).

On the bright side I'm pretty sure nobody can hear this beyond the half way line.

Nope and correct.

Achieving the overall goal of the season felt like success. As did the record breaking unbeaten run. The lots of goals we scored and enjoyment of the football we were served up. But yea, crazy tactics, jury still out, didn’t win the league, we changed everything for the two games we won at the end and ignore all the ones we won before that narrative is strong.

‘Something needs to change, not the changes that I have weirdly hypothesised the manager will make, but something. Not the changes this manager makes if we lose, but something. Maybe the manager will surprise me and his changes will lead to a win which is what I’ve been calling for all this time’

He owes us nothing and fully grown adults who don’t know the business or the guy personally telling young adults what they should and shouldn’t do with their career continues to be one of the creepiest and oddest things about football.
