I was hoping Martin would be gone by this game before he could do any more damage. The amount of goals his teams concede is alarming.

That's Russell Martin's speciality. He takes pride in it.

He was on my shortlist so I'm very pleased!

If we play like we did against Ipswich, we'll lose.

Oh look, he came up against a seasoned manager with more nous in Jovanovic and look what happened.

Blowing £x amount on sacking Martin and his team and spending £x amount on replacements doesn't guarantee success as is the case every time we've changed manager. It does however guarantee that we won't have to watch Russball anymore. If we assume the long-term goal is to ultimately become an established Premier League club again, we know Russball isn't the solution.

You must be trolling 😂 So you expect us to lose every game? Not even Russell Martin is deluded enough to think we're "exceeding expectations".

I stand by the opinion he is our best player. It was a joke to drop him. If Russell insisted on playing Taylor, he should have dropped Sugawara. Sugawara has looked decent but he isn't at KWP's level.

Where's this myth that we played well against Ipswich come from? Yes we came close to winning but Ipswich were the better side that day.

Standard Russell Martin not playing to our strengths.

I'm not sure we'd be winless in 7 if we actually played this guy. Might have at least managed another draw. He needs to play. I feel the same about ABK.

At least it won't be decided by a dodgy VAR decision.

Onauchu should have been way ahead of Stewart in the pecking order.

They are two different types of player. Ward-Prowse is also the better player. And believe me there are some on here that think Downes is the better footballer. There's a couple here on the last page of the JWP thread. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/60086-james-ward-prowse/page/31/

Genuinely hilariouis some on here think Downes in better than Ward-Prowse.

I hope you enjoyed those 2 minutes lads.

Some good last ditch defending. Problem is when we have the ball. Numerous occassions be could have countered but slowed it down, took it back to our half and allowed them to re-organise.

Pulled a quad it looks like.

Is Onuachu on the bench?

Our back line is all over the place. Bednarek is going to play someone on-side.

Not many good ones. https://www.streameast.soccer/fixture/Arsenal-vs-Southampton "Player 3" seems to be the best one. Hasn't cut out yet!

Russell Martin just will not learn.

Still nobody on the edge of our box when defending a corner.

Interestingly, Danny Rohl made some comments regarding Shea Charles' fitness when he first arrived at Wednesday after a full pre-season with us.

Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and then Unai Emery are the worlds best football coaches. Emery has completely transformed that club. Whether they can sustain their success long term, beyond the Emery years, remains to be seen but they've had a remarkable couple of years.
